So, Mom…did you wake up this morning and think: “Another Mother’s Day to live in the shadow of that Amazing Wonder Woman of Proverbs 31.” That Lady sure set the bar pretty high, didn’t she? Up before the sun, toiling for her fam. Tailoring and weaving the softest silks and the finest satins for her […]
I have a friend. He has a great dad. My friend loves his dad. A lot. From my vantage point they have a pretty awesome relationship. His dad is a very wise man. He has lived a long time. (That is kinda prerequisite for being wise.) When my friend has a problem, when life throws […]
We aren’t a big sports family. We aren’t huge on watching sports. However, at the Rod house, all evening activity comes to a halt during both the Summer and Winter Olympics and during March Madness. And maybe the MLB playoffs, if the Cardinals are involved. Not looking too good this year. Ah well. There is […]
My family eats a lot of bread. No surprise, right? If everyone eats a slice of toast (or two) and a cup of hot cocoa for breakfast we pretty much destroy an entire loaf, or at least close to it. Making everyone a sandwich? You don’t even want to know. Good thing bread is still […]
Deuteronomy 33:27 NKJV 1 Peter 5:7 NKJV The eternal God is your refuge, …casting all your care upon Him, And underneath are the everlasting arms. for He cares for you. I am extremely blessed. God has blessed me with an awesomely wonderful wife. He has gifted […]
Ephesians 5:25-29 (NKJV) Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her…So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does […]
Matthew 7:7 – 11 NKJV 7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if […]
I am super excited about this y’all. (Yes, I just said, “y’all”. I live in the Midwest, right?)
Starting this week, I will be posting a weekly devotional for Dads! Dad-deVotionals, I like to call them. (See what I did there? Daddy = Dad-de, clever right? Ok, never mind.)
Just a little encouragement, based in Scripture, from my heart to dads. Being a dad is difficult and we could all use a little help now and again.
So come on back every week and share with other Dads that could use an encouraging word.

Back in 2009, I started my first blog as a commemoration of leaving my 20s and moving into the “dreaded” 30’s. It was a pretty big deal for me at the time. I was no longer “young”, I thought. Approaching the threshold of middle aged was pretty close to devastating for me. (That blog still […]
Our most recent arrival (number 13) is three months old today. After having so many babies around for the last 17 years, I guess you could say we have become somewhat experienced on baby raising. We certainly have our own opinions about loving and nurturing little ones. Not that we are always right, just most […]
