Be responsible

For DAD Only: Father’s Little Dividend Do you have an IRA, a 401k, or a mutual fund? If so, perhaps you will be financially secure some day–especially once your children stop spending all your money on shoes and dental work (and then auto repairs and college fees). However, you can get a better ROI than… Continue reading Be responsible

Robbing Mom and Dad

Kids sometimes like to destroy things. They may start by smashing toys. Later, they may try graffiti. They could grow up to smash mailboxes or do greater damage. Using scripture make sure your children do not turn out this way by

Emotion (3 of 3): The Art of Rejoicing

For dad only: Dinner Time is Family Time Do you feast? I know many Bible-believing dads practice fasting. In my own life, I have thought myself more spiritual for fasting than for feasting.

Faith, Hope, Love (2 of 3)

For dad only: Hope I used to get up grumpy every day. I would have rather let him sleep. Then, I realized I was the one making this child frustrated. Thank God I discovered His gift of hope. Every morning as I rally my crew out of slumber land, I try to set before them… Continue reading Faith, Hope, Love (2 of 3)

Faith, Hope, Love (1 of 3)

For dad only: Faith We had to admit my three-month-old daughter to the hospital when she came down with a rare disease. I remember the first day I was able to hold her. Her body was limp from paralysis and about all she could do at the time was open her eyes and look at… Continue reading Faith, Hope, Love (1 of 3)
