The Power of Words
Words are powerful, aren’t they? I don’t know that we realize that often enough until we find ourselves at the receiving end of a few choice ones. Words have amazing potential to empower people to fly higher and accomplish more than they ever thought possible…or to make them crash and burn. Culture Wars Ignited In…
Fatherly Advice
I realize not everyone has been blessed with kids, but if you have or hope to be, I want to encourage you to read part 1 of this very helpful and honest post on fatherhood by Dr. Thom Rainer.

My Andrew
I didn’t get online yesterday after church simply because I needed some rest and time to unplug, so I didn’t get the chance to write on here about my little Drew’s birthday. Four years ago yesterday, God so richly blessed Karen and me with a little bundle named Andrew David Price. A “Daddy’s boy” from…
Balance
This year for me is all about balance. I’m trying very hard to seek “moderation in all things” and imbalance in none. That’s a huge challenge for me! So far, though, I’m eating right, working out regularly, finding consistency in Scripture reading, and working towards balance between work, family and personal time. That last one…
Snow Days
For the past couple of days, the Southeast has been blanketed with a beautiful coating of snow. Because this is the Southeast, which gets this kind of thing once a millennium (it seems), that means one thing…SNOW DAYS!!!!!! (oh, and a lot of really bad drivers). Yes, snow days. Glorious opportunities for sledding and snow…
The focus of our Christmas
Since Jacob has been able to read, we’ve let him read Luke 2 before we sing Happy Birthday to Jesus each year and eat a birthday cookie. It’s a lot of fun. Now, on to gifts. Happy Christmas, everyone. Hope it’s blessed! Posted from WordPress for Android
Christian Parenting: The Santa Clause
Christmas (with the possible exception of Easter and that rabbit) is probably the most difficult holiday for Christians. Seriously. We have to figure out how to deal with the fun stuff of Christmas–you know, gift-giving, flying reindeer and jolly elves in red suits with the real (and true) reason we celebrate–the God-man coming to earth…
A Christmas Revolution
Tired of Christmas as usual? Had it up to here with the long lines, long bank statements and long recovery time? If so, I want to invite you to join the revolution to take back Christmas. No, not that kind of revolution. I’m not advocating boycotts or signing petitions, nor am I encouraging you to…
To Jacob on His Ninth Birthday
Dear Jacob, Here I am again trying to get my mind around how quickly you are growing. It is impossible for me to comprehend how nine years could have gone by since the day your Mommy and I watched you take your very first breath in this world. The process of you getting here certainly wasn’t…
Boroughing Through the Blahs
Tick, tock, tick, tock. We’re down to the last several hours of 2008. Another year flown by…memories of what has been accomplished flood my mind. For me, it’s been a good year, but I’m finishing more on a whimper. This holiday season has been absolutely exhausting for me. Between travel and trying to squeeze in…
