Christians face many obstacles to prepare for Christmas. We have retailers, restaurants, and a myriad of other noises captivating our attention which lead to our affections. This post is to give you the tools to better focus your attention on Jesus, His birth, life, death, and resurrection. I would like to take a moment to…

Back-To-School Foundations
‘Tis the season for families to get geared up for school! The kids have grown and the fashions have changed over the last few months, which means, it’s back-to-school shopping!

The Restoration of Family
Would you say that your family is solid; And by solid, I mean, grounded; And by grounded, I mean, focused on what’s most important in life?

Praiseworthy Enough?
I have a question I have been mulling over lately, a test, if you will. The test? “Is catastrophe praiseworthy?” My hypothesis? “Praiseworthiness can only be validated through the good that comes through God.” One can not simply make a hypothesis without verifying it through empirical data. Let me share a most recent experience to…

Gratitude is a 4-Letter Word
Why is it so hard to say “thank you” and actually mean it? Think about the times during Thanksgiving when peer pressure forces you to give one thing that you are thankful for.
