Whose Kids Are You Raising?
So far, our experiences in parenting are pretty different than our experiences from fostering. I’m sure we could fill volumes with all the differences, but today I want to look at one of the ways it’s actually the same.
Important to Dad
Sometimes I’m an awesome dad, and then sometimes I’m too busy. If that’s not a gut-punch, I don’t know what is.
Spiritual Malnutrition
We waste too much time comfortably waiting to be fed. Maybe it’s time to grow up and feed ourselves.
Whatever Happened to...
Here it is. This is the one. After two years of running this blog, it seems I finally have a topic that might ruffle some feathers.
Spiritual KonMari
It’s really hard to clean the house, especially in the face of daunting clutter. But it’s even more difficult to declutter the soul.

Set Free in 2019
It’s a brand new year, and that means brand new goals. We’re supposed to make goals. We’re supposed to share them. We’re supposed to stress over them. And we’re supposed to fizzle out in mid-February. No? Just me? Oh… well then.

For Just A Little While
You are a person. Actual and whole. Though your body is small and your personality meek, your soul is so big. God has known you for awhile and has created your beautiful soul in the image of His own. You are His child. We just get to watch you for a little while.
Lincoln: Day 1
The Lord has been great to us this day! Let me tell you about it.
After about 17 hours of labor, Lincoln Scott Frank was born just under 8 pounds and just over 20 inches. He is beautiful, has a great disposition, and is already a strong little trooper.
