I’m a big fan of the roaring 20′s. I like their fashion (love pin stripes and hats), their music & dancing and the fact that you could buy a Ford for $290. Those were the days. So you could imagine how excited we were when one of our friends announced they were having a 20′s birthday party. One of my favorite things at the party was this old fashioned photo booth. As you can tell from the pictures apparently my wife thi...

It almost seems strange to even ask that question but Tim Keller’s latest book on marriage entitled, “The Meaning of Marriage” has a lot of people talking. In the book he states, In other words, some people in our culture want too much out of a marriage partner. They do not see marriage as two flawed people coming together to create a space of stability, love and consolation, a “haven in a heartless world,” as Christophe...

I don’t know if you’ve seen this latest add from Target, but I LOVE it. It features the adorable little kid named Ryan who has Down syndrome. Time Magazine reports… Target cast Ryan in its latest children’s clothing ad, and Nordstrom featured him in a campaign several months ago.

This is how I do the dishes and just about every other household chore around our home. I would appreciate it if we could just keep this between the two of us and not mention it to the missus. Thank you, and have a fantastic weekend. What’s your least favorite household chore? ...

Developing a intimate relationship with each one of my boys is something I work really hard at. I’m increasingly learning that each one of them is so unique. I’ve noticed that with each one of them there seems to be an environment where they are more apt to be open to significant conversations. I call this place our “thing.” It’s the activity or environment that makes your child feel loved,  invested in and connec...

Well you’ve probably heard by now, but just in case you haven’t Time Magazine has named their person of the year for 2011. Drum roll please…it’s The Protester. Yep, the person of the year ended up actually being a group of the year. Obviously Time and I don’t agree since I just wrote a post a couple weeks ago entitled “Why I Don’t Protest” but to each his own. It’s actually a great article and...

UPDATE: Grandpa Wilson went home to be with the Lord late last night. Thanks so much for all of your prayers. I’d like to take the opportunity today to ask you guys to join me in praying for my grandfather and family. Last week was a normal week for my grandpa. He worked  40+ hours at a job he’s loved and held for 60 years. Then he started his weekend off running errands for neighbors and friends then checked his email and facebook,...

One of the annual blessings of the holiday season are the traditions. It seems that everyone, unbelievers included, have some sort of special and meaningful Christmas traditions. What’s more, believing families have particularly Christian traditions that they practice. And this is more where my interest lies. After all, the emotional sentiment carried in secular traditions pivot on the enjoyment of general revelation, things created; wherea...
