March Madness? More Like Year-Round!
The best blog posts and sermon illustrations always come from real life. At least that's true in my opinion.

Parenting Tween the Times
I have a 12 year old daughter who seemingly became a woman (physically) overnight. God has blessed her with amazing beauty (after all, she looks like a female version of me).

My Pearl Turns 11
On March 27th, 2000 the Lord blessed my wife and I with our first child, Meaghan. She was so tiny, I called her "peanut." We also called her "squirt" because the doctor literally had to catch her as she shot out of the birth canal. Meaghan made quite an entrance! My life has never been the same.
Boys Behaving Badly
Well, well, well, Colton Harris-Moore (aka the Barefoot Bandit) is no longer barefoot, though allegedly he is notoriously a bandit.
