I love the the Bible verse "There is no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. " I have to agree, but want to also say that there is no greater joy than to hear that God is using my children! Below is a story from the newsletter that my son Mike, and his wife… Read More
DON’T HIDE THOSE TEARS!
Tears are a wonderful thing! They are an overflow of what the heart is feeling, whether it be joy, sadness, comfort, or pain. Why are we ashamed of our tears?!

A Place Only You Can Fill!
I’m in Naperville, IL tonight for the ICHE convention, where I will be speaking over the next 3 days. Tonight my son Mark, who is along as my helper, attended the speaker’s dinner with me.

The Power of a Godly Life
What a great poem and reminder about the power of our example as parents! I’d rather see a sermon, Than hear one any day; I’d rather one would walk with me, Than merely show the way. The eye’s a better pupil, And more willing than the ear; Mankind’s always confusing, But example’s always clear. And the best of all the… Read More

Just Friends: Guarding Your Heart for a Wonderful Someday
What is this thing between guys and girls? Do we call it Dating? Attraction? Interest? We all know it’s there, but no one really knows what to call it, and for some strange reason everyone is afraid to talk about it! So what do you call it?
