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 […]
I don’t usually like to focus on the weaknesses and shortcomings of others. I have plenty of my own to fill up these pages. And while that may be painful, if becoming vulnerable and stripping off the facade brings just a little encouragement to those struggling to Lead their Imperfect Family (hint: we all are), […]
By today’s standards, I was young. Some would say I was too young to get married at only 20 years old. It seems the average 20 year old today is still learning to lace his shoes correctly. Pile on the responsibility of marriage and most would probably run the other way. It makes me feel […]
“Why do you have your pinkie like that? You are not rich, Daddy.” Vikki teases me about it all the time. Jenna makes sure to remind me of my faulty floating finger–she is good at reminding me of my faults. I have to admit, yes, for reasons I don’t fully comprehend, my pinkie finger on […]
Seventh grade was not a good year for me. I was the short kid. I was the chubby kid. My pants were either too long or too tight around the waist. (Wait, was that seventh grade or last week??) I suppose I was also dealing with some anger issues. Your school had tether ball poles, […]
Their facial expressions tell the whole story. Their first reaction will range anywhere between subtle surprise to absolute horror. “You have how many children?!!?!” Once the initial shock subsides, their face gently slides to relief. But only for a moment before plunging to guilt and maybe even a little pity. “And I feel overwhelmed with […]
