Something in the Air

As a strong advocate for healthy marriages and families, I am feeling invigorated and encouraged. There's something in the air -- something refreshing that’s been missing for a while. In the midst of frigid winter blasts, sweet comforting breezes blew through my neighbourhood at noon Eastern on January 20th, 2025. Ever since then, I’m finding… Continue reading Something in the Air

An Attraction Like No Other

(Something ‘bout a woman) I am Leutenant Günter Weber, with the Grenadiers at Lixouri.  I saw your party, and I thought that I would come and introduce myself. Ah, said Carlo, winking, you wanted to come and look at the women. It is no such thing, lied Weber stiffly.  Naturally one has seen such things… Continue reading An Attraction Like No Other

Morning in America, Again

Given the profound and far-reaching election news this past week, I was hoping to write a short piece that underlined America's clear repudiation of Wokeism, allowing the family of faith a temporary and needed respite from the incessant attacks these past four years. While struggling with the right words, I happened upon this articulate piece… Continue reading Morning in America, Again

Fatherhood: 12 Thoughts

When I was a single guy, I gave little attention to someday becoming a father. Parenting wasn't among my top ten future aspirations. Of course, that all changed in the delivery room when our first arrived. My marriage is surely my highest family priority, but I love the privilege of being a father. So, here… Continue reading Fatherhood: 12 Thoughts

Bigger Than Pronouns … Again

June remains the most popular month of the year for weddings.  To honour God’s amazing design for gender, marriage and healthy sexuality, I'm reposting an article from two and a half years ago, celebrating gender uniqueness.  What better month to do that? Call me crazy, but one of the ways I like to express my… Continue reading Bigger Than Pronouns … Again

Confidants

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up.  But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!”Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 I walked the earth for too many years without having close male friends.  Sure, I stayed… Continue reading Confidants

More Than Neckties

I was spoiled by my family yesterday.  The five of us (plus our Rough Collie) took a rigorous Father’s Day hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, followed by appetisers and beverages at a local brewery.  After late afternoon showers and naps, we prepared supper together and kept the day’s celebration going.   Heading… Continue reading More Than Neckties

Bigger Than Pronouns

Call me crazy, but one of the ways I like to express my thankfulness to God is to write and speak gender-specifically. Not all “gender-inclusive” style books published within the past twenty years agree with my zeal for gender specificity, but that doesn’t dampen my resolve.  I prefer words that celebrate the layers of differences… Continue reading Bigger Than Pronouns
