porn or breastfeeding, which is the greater societal risk
There is a sickening epidemic spreading across the United States that doesn’t get half the public attention of Bird Flu or Gas Prices. The proliferation of accessible pornography (delivered through multiple mediums such as film, internet, satellite radio, cable), coupled with weakening moral standards and misguided tolerance among the general population, is causing sexual addiction and misbehavior to run rampant. Just take a look at the statistics posted on Family Watchdog, a website that allows you to search for any registered sex offenders who may possibly be living near your children.

watching my boy grow up
A few funny things have happened with Jacob lately as he is growing up. He’ll be three in September and is getting big so fast.
- Recently he pulled a chair over to the loft railing and spit down onto the kitchen floor. His mom didn’t think that was funny.

Genesis 3:6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

the job of a dad and husband
I was reminded today of the great responsibility a father has in raising a girl. I was in the shower when Isabelle came into the bathroom repeatedly saying “Daddy, Daddy!” Stephanie, the Izzy-interpreter, told me that Isabelle wanted me to look at her pig-tails. She does this every time Stephanie dresses her or combs her hair.
I believe that this behavior is part of the hardwiring God has placed in girls. Woman are made by God to seek love and affirmation from a man. As girls this man is to be their father; as grown women it is to be their …
