No, I’m not at all relating this post to the hilarious movie back in the 1990’s called What About Bob?. Rather I’m talking about one of my stepdads, Bill. Back in the 1980’s there was a song entitled “Lookin’ For Love in All the Wrong Places.” Now while that certainly applied to me many, many … More What About Bill?
Can you think of a time that God’s told you something specific is going to happen? You’re just positive that He told you this certain thing – and even confirmed it at many different times and in many different ways? But then you wait, and you wait, and … you … wait … and nothing … More But Does That Mean We’re Giving Up On God?
Two tough things: Being still; and knowing – I mean really knowing – a person. First off, being still. I love to have just quiet sometimes. By quiet I mean no TV, no music, just quiet. Even when I was younger and still in school (yes, that was a long time ago), I couldn’t have … More Be Still … And Know

When we moved to Texas from the west coast 4 years ago we were able to buy a house on a golf course. This at the time was a dream for us, as when there are no golfers on the course (which isn’t often), it’s like having a huge backyard. However one day I looked … More Running With The Pack
Do you have a hard time hearing God’s voice? You know oftentimes I “think” I’m doing just what God wants me to do. However when I remove myself from familiar surroundings and just sit and be still before Him without glancing at my watch and thinking about how I “can only spend about 15 minutes … More The Majestic Awesomeness of God
Was Jeffrey being hurt at school by someone who was supposed to be taking care of him? Had I been blind to the issue? What should I do? Back when Jeffrey was having issues with his school therapists contradicting what his private therapists were telling him to do (I’m Ready – Let Me At ‘Em!), … More Miss Sam to the Rescue!
How many of you have decided at one point or the other that it’s up to you to bring someone into a saving relationship with Jesus? I hope there’s more people out there than just me! Unfortunately that happened with my mother… I wrote a bit about mom and her background back in January 2016 … More Trying To “Save” Mom
Parenting is really tough sometimes, huh? As Christian parents we try and hang onto the great proverb “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it” (Proverbs 22:6 NIV), but sometimes our human minds start playing games with us, bringing us back to places … More Oh, Lord…
