You’ve heard the phrase often, perhaps ever since Rick Warren’s famous opening line in The Purpose Driven Life, but when you are in a family with kids, it’s not (just) about you. You are a part of a system that is affected by almost every decision you make.
That doesn’t mean you automatically decide not to [...]
Tonight …
Phil and Natalie are leading the last session in our series focusing on key elements that go into making a healthy marriage. It’s been a good, well-attended series with a great group. It is easier to teach when the group you are addressing is responsive and this one has not disappointed us.
Thanks for [...]
Here are some new books I’ve gotten on Kindle lately. It’s a whole new list of readings for the spring. Will let you know which ones, if any of them are any good. (I think they will be!)
* Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years – This one is “homework” from my wife. [...]
I had a wonderful trip to the Association of Marriage and Family Ministers (AMFM) conference in Phoenix last week. Got to lead a workshop on The Parent Adventure along with Scott McConnell from LifeWay Research. Then I attended several helpful workshops myself. Always good to meet some new people "in the business".

Just an update on our trip last weekend. Denver has almost no air. Hard to breathe throughout the trip. What should I have expected going to a city known as "The Mile High City"?
And yet, it was a most productive engagement as we got the chance to share our passion for encouraging parents through [...]
Please remember Selma and me as we make a quick yet important trip to Denver, Colorado at the end of this week. We will be speaking at the International Christian Book Distributors convention.

Here they come. They seem like a long way off right now, but moving toward us, like a tsunami in the northern Pacific honing in on Hawaii – they are getting closer by the day.
Unlike the disasters the water tsunamis make, the one I am referring to is not bad news, just busy news. [...]
Happy New Year everyone! I pray that 2009 will bring much praise and glory to our Lord through your life.
There is lots going in our Marriage and Family ministry on as we crank up for '09. Here are some things coming down the pike:
The Parent Adventure - Jan 11
Bobby Goins, manager of CrossWalk, has been so supportive [...]
SHOULDER UPDATE
Got the shoulder done. It was very uneventful from the doctor's perspective. I am grateful but still navigating the one-arm bit for a few days. Hard to Christmas shop – or get into the Christmas spirit with an arm in the sling.
However, this posting should tell you that I'm learning to use the [...]
Thanks for praying for us. The trip to South Bend was … interesting, but the TV interview was a wonderful experience of God's hearing and answering your prayers. Kelly and Stefan was awesome along with the rest of the staff. Please feel free to view the 10 minute interview by going to harvest-tv.com. It is [...]
