I remember, as a kid, it was all too natural to invite a friend to church. If someone was spending the night on Saturday night, they would bring church clothes so they could tag along to church and Sunday school the next day. They might even score a Luby's Luann platter out of the deal. … Continue reading Well, come on now.

When they come home from college, I want them to think..."this is what our family does on birthdays!" Here are a few ways me(or some of my friends!) … Continue reading Birthday Traditions
The wrath of God is terrifying until you try to understand it. God has tried over and over again to let people figure it out, until there was no choice left and it was time for final judgment. But again the good news is what Revelation tells us and what we can focus on – … Continue reading In Christ Alone
This Sunday, my younger daughter, Meg, is getting baptized. Family is flying in – which she won’t remember. We’re making an elaborate brunch – which she won’t remember. My mom made her a beautiful gown – which she won’t remember. So why are we doing this? Because the moment of her baptism, though she won’t … Continue reading She Won’t Even Remember!

Today is my daughter’s sixth birthday. As most parents feel on days like these, I am not sure how we got here. Wasn’t she JUST born? I remember some of the first days so vividly. And so many days since then. I love traditions, maybe because I didn’t have any growing up. And it is … Continue reading The Pressure Of Traditions
Well, this week isn't exactly uplifting or all that encouraging. We see a lot of punishment and destruction, which we, understandably, tend to try to shield our children from. But, like in our own homes, in God's kingdom, there are consequences for making poor choices. Just like we place our three year olds in timeout … Continue reading So it’s not great news

This is a foundation of the faith that we want them to cling to the rest of their lives. Today, I wanted … Continue reading The Lord’s Prayer Breakdown
It is perfectly normal to feel intimidated and maybe even “put off” by the Book of Revelation. But I encourage you to keep reading, at least this one time, all the way through. And while you’re doing so, look for the clues and cross-references to other books of the Bible. This last book of the … Continue reading Letters, Thrones, Beasts and Scrolls.
Cooking is my only practical hobby. My other hobbies include learning everything I can about the medical field, finding every patch of poison ivy in the DFW metroplex and apparently rolling in it, and formerly running - since children that has turned into pushing a double-stroller while walking two dogs on a double-leash.
