The Experts Say (Only for the fathers of girls.)

(This is something I wrote for Kai, my ten year old daughter, while I was on my way to Israel…so guys who don’t have daughters, you’re dismissed until the next topic…) How long does it take to become an expert? The experts say it takes 7-10 years and 50,000 “chunks” of new knowledge. You can’t paint a picture in Sunday School class, sit around and in 7 years call yourself an expert. You have to gain new knowledge and continue to gather this new knowledge everyday for 7 years. Many of your friends will appear to be experts at many …

Dog? God?

When I was 12, my parents bought me a cocker spaniel.  His name was Bucky. I had begged for months to get a dog and finally they broke under the intense pressure of an unrelenting 12 year old boy.  After the initial fun of the first few weeks of having a dog wore off, my mom and dad had to constantly remind me to feed Bucky, give him fresh water, give him baths and…pick up piles.  Fun times. My dad finally got tired of having to remind me so he sat me down.  He said “Eric, you’re the closest thing …

Giving it the old Gospel Try.

Most of you remember the old sports movies from the 40′s and 50′s where the sports hero either wins one for a kid in the hospital or the team wins one for the hero who is in the hospital. They always talked about the old college try. I have been wondering lately about the old gospel try. What am I doing to spread the Gospel? I am not very evangelistic. I am upset about part of that and some times I see my place in the mix. I have found that many people find me positive and with a sunny …

the tree, the ornament

Remind your children that the very first Christmas tree was the cross … and the only ornament on that tree was Jesus himself. Webster’s dictionary defines “ornament” as “one whose character or talent adds luster to the surroundings”. If your kids miss the significance of the cross and the ornament Jesus … then they have missed the luster light of the world. “… The Light has come into the world … whoever lives by the truth comes into the light …” from John 3:19 & 21 Have a Merry Christmas a Joy-filled 2008.

Are you without sin???

Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin”? As a Christian man, father and husband….I like to think that I lead a “good and clean” life, but after hearing this verse this past Sunday on our Life Group at church, I realized that no matter how “good” I may think I am, I will always fall short in the eyes of God. This is something important I want to instill in my children…”always strive to do your best, but know in your heart you will always fall short in God’s eyes”. …

Happy Fathers Day

Sigmund Freud: I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection. Mark Twain: When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. Bill Cosby: If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right. Ephesians …
