On Family Life, Dennis Rainey gave a simple way to find a spouse: Focus on running towards Jesus, and along the way, look to the side to see who is there. That’s how I found my husband 🙂

Some games are fun because they are fun games. But most games are only fun if the people playing them are fun. Take for example the game Apples to Apples. If you play with people who are not fun, and do not put effort into making it fun, it’s not a fun game. Life is […]
We went to see the taping of Skating with the Stars at the CBS studios yesterday. First of all, I’ve never seen the show before. I’ve never seen Dancing with the Stars. I don’t watch TV. Second, I don’t know any “celebrities”, and I didn’t recognize anyone at the taping. We went because it sounded […]
This daily devotional book by Charles Stanley should be kept next to your Bible. In fact, it’s a sturdy hardback probably about the same size as my Bible. Each day’s devotion begins with a short passage to read from the Bible. A key verse follows that highlights the main idea for the day. Then comes […]

We were cleaning out our cabinet of of DVDs and VHS tapes. It’s amazing how the industry has changed. I remember my daughter had a friend in second grade whose parents owned a video rental store. They would bring in a popular children’s movie for the class to watch during party days. My daughter is […]
I found this lying around in my house, part of an article by John Piper from DesiringGod.org.: What we mean by the sovereignty of God is captured in paragraph 3.2 of The Bethlehem Baptist Church Elder Affirmation of Faith. The dozens of biblical passages used to support this paragraph are found in the online version. […]
I spoke at my daughter’s college fellowship group retreat on Saturday, and as is always the case, the teacher probably got more out of it than the students. There was good feedback from the girls, and I myself also learned one thing that I need to apply to myself. I said contentment comes when we […]
