Your Marriage Bucket List
What was the last fun thing you did with your spouse?
A lot of marriages aren’t bad or failing they’re just boring.
Your Part in History
Recently, I had the privilege of being a small part in seeing some prayers answered that others had prayed for years.
It reminded me that we each have a part to play in the grand story God is telling. History is really His-story. This includes the history of the world and your own personal history.

Influence on a Sliding Scale
In every industry, media, niche, and forum there are rockstars…
People who are so far ahead of everyone else in terms of success, followers, money, status, album sales or whatever else your industry values that it seems mere mortals like you and me will never catch up.
4 Things You Didn’t Know About Your Wedding Vows
Do you remember your wedding day? You found the perfect person to commit your life to!
This person was different. You loved the way they made you feel. You loved how they treated you. This was true love! It was so great you wanted it to last forever.
English and a Father’s Love
Do you remember superlatives from your English classes? A superlative is the greatest of any set of objects that are being compared. You recognize a superlative by the –est ending of the adjective…tallest, fastest, funniest. When you have a 3-syllable adjective it is preceded by the word “most”… most important, most valuable.
My son, who is in kindergarten, was recently taught the comparison (-er & more) and superlative form of adjectives by his 3rd grade sister. So he loves going around and showing off this newly acquired knowledge.
Do This When You Celebrate the Next Birthday

What Was the Best Part of Your Day?
Getting More Out of Your Family Meals
We have a simple question that we ask every night at dinner. This simple question gives us insight into each other’s hearts, values, and daily life.
The question helps us connect with each other and know what happened in each other’s day. As a family we spend the majority of the day apart from each other. The kids are at school, my wife is keeping our home running, and I’m at work.
The Power of Generational Cycles
You know what a cycle is…it’s an event that keeps repeating itself.
Every new year we set out to break some of the cycles and habits that have us stuck. But even New Year’s resolutions have become a cycle. We make one. We are committed that this year will be different. But before the year is out and in most cases before the month is out we are back into that old cycle that seems to haunt us.
3 Parenting Questions You Should Be Asking
How are you doing as a parent? Every parent I know wants to set their child up for success. It’s true for you and it’s one of the reasons why you are working so hard and making so many sacrifices. You want to launch them even further than you were.
Or you’re trying to grease the tracks for them so they won’t have to struggle as much as you did.
