To My Sons On Their Way

As you grow and mature, I pray that you will add the things in this letter to a list of unquestionable truths you are building in your spirit.

The Children of Starstuff

Jeremiah was twelve years old, and in the seventh grade. He stood on a grassy mound outside his private middle school, waiting for his mom to drive up in her luxury sedan so he could get into the back seat (he wasn’t quite heavy enough for the front airbag). He was the only twelve-year-old in […]

What Is Embryo Adoption?

My wife and I are in the process of starting a family through Embryo Adoption.

Career Motherhood: A New Take on this Important Profession

My wife’s chosen profession is and will continue to be a blessing to our family. This article’s purpose is to re-frame one of the most important and oldest professions in a new light. My wife has not chosen to become a “stay-at-home mom.” She has not “given up her career.” She would never say that she “doesn’t work.” And regardless of what the IRS says on April 15, she wouldn’t call herself a “dependent.” She has chosen career motherhood. And I want to sing her praises for it.

Lucas

A short story about choosing light over darkness right in time for Halloween. *** “Is that the last box?” Kathy’s voice reverberated off the hardwood floor of the large, open ground level of their new home. Donovan let the heavy box of kitchen supplies down with a thud and exhaled. “It’s the last box but […]

God Designed You To Be Excellent (Here’s How To Do It)

“Why don’t I ever get the promotion I deserve?” “I wasn’t born to go to work, pay bills, and die.” “I want more out of my life.” “Livin’ the dream.” “It’s just another Monday.” “There has to be more to life than this.” Have you ever heard language like this and felt it resonate with […]

A Piano’s Legacy

What an impressive find. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, For sixty-one long years. Idle and untouched, but respected. When he first brought you home He would play you daily after work. The family sings along, Favorite hymns, carols, Broadway songs. Lost in the moment now, Your exuberance reverberates Through the home’s every room, […]
