I can remember back in the mid 80s (when personal computers were just hitting the market), my Mom would take us to the library, where we would actually get to USE a computer. Back then, you could register for a time slot, and then go and check out a game on a floppy disk (google […]
[sgmb id=”1″] I’ve recently discovered that when dealing my children, and their sometimes overly dramatic encounters in life, this 3-word phrase has become my go-to response. No big deal. “But Dad!” They say… “You don’t understand (fill in the blank crisis)”… And I say… “It’s no big deal!” Basically, my point is, unless you’re dying, […]
How Wolves Change Rivers is one of the most interesting scientific finds and discoveries of all time. I first came across this interesting phenomenon by watching a YouTube video, that, not surprisingly, has nearly 40 million views. Take 4:33 and prepare to be amazed.

This sounds like it has more financial implications than anything, but hear me out. Most financial advisors recommend investors to diversify their portfolios. In other words, as my grandparents would say, “don’t place […]
What is it? While this appears to be an unprovoked question, I actually want to focus on this phrase as more of a definition to something. Any guesses thus far? If you were on the show Jeopardy, you would ask Alex Trebek to give you “Israelite Cuisine for $100 please”. To which you would (hopefully) […]
Fellowship is great! In fact, it’s Biblical! And I love hanging out with other believers. It’s therapeutic, it’s healthy, and it’s fun! Spending time with other sheep is great, but spending time with The Shepherd is best! It is all of those things I just mentioned, and even more. Psalm 100:3 (NKJV) sums […]
Ahhh…quiet time. As a parent, this almost sounds like an oxymoron! In fact, I had forgotten that turning it on and off was even an option until I began looking at some of the various settings on an app that I use called HootSuite. And then I remembered, quiet time is always an option, we just […]
