Ever get into a funky place where you seem restless, irritable, and discontent? Well, I do. Sometimes for long stretches, I am sad to say. And I have found that when I get into one of these grouchy seasons, there is one question that lurks at the heart of the murkiness. It is a terrible [...]

I have always loved this classic song by the Byrds, inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about stress, demands, busyness, self-discipline, entertainment, enjoyment of life and family and work and play, and the intersection of these things. (Yes, there are always lots of wheels turning inside my noggin. It’s like [...]

Thanks to my buddy, Hans, for the title of this post. Men of the Baton Rouge area (and beyond), it’s here. The kickoff of a new season! Men are suiting up and showing up for battle to show what they are made of, and to take their game to a higher level this year. That’s [...]

Picking right up where we left off… On Sunday morning Chemaine wasn’t feeling well, so Shep and I headed off to church in my truck. Father-son time with our church family. Worshiping God, studying His Word, building relationships, good coffee, fun play – should be great! In the midst of singing and talking with Shep [...]

(Thanks to my good friend and pastor, Hans Googer, for inspiring me to get back on my blogging horse and ride!) So, basically I have decided I will just hope someday Shep will either understand the value of me using stories about his life on my blog or find it in his heart to forgive [...]

Here’s a little Christmas idea for your kids this year…give them the gift of limits on their screen time. Don’t expect them to jump for joy and sing your praises as if you just bought them the latest greatest video game. But then, good parenting isn’t all about having our kids sing our praises, is [...]
