The Art of Wrestling with Dad
So if you know me at all or have read even a short part of my Healing Hereafter ebook series, you'll have picked up that I'm kinda Type-A and like to have things neatly arranged and thought out. But today I'm thinking about politics, and we're not gonna get deep into that! Instead, I'll focus on...
Be with the People You’re with
It was a blast from the past. Last week I was walking through my fourth grader's school, seeing his first locker, and sitting on a tiny stool that hadn't fit my backside for 30 years. His teacher described her vision for the year, and I wondered how on earth a person got 22 preteens to do anything...
Only Teach if You’re Willing to Learn
TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and probably being cool...all things I've learned from young people. As the new school year approaches, a new class is coming to college, and soon I will meet many of them and be shocked how baby-faced some of them are. Except for that one freshman each fall...
Getting Your Best Beach Bod
These are clearly not me, and I may not be the world's foremost authority on this topic. My youngest son agrees with unfortunate consistency every time he tells me how much he loves my pudge. Better than hating it, I suppose! Either way, I can't and shouldn't measure this summer specimen of mine...
Four Phrases for Father’s Day
Here I am, about to celebrate this special day of dadding by preparing for a 17-hour mini-van trip around Lake Michigan! Exotic, you say? Well, yes, the endless construction and Wisconsin shoreline are quite lovely. No sarcasm at all. And although being pampered on a giant recliner throne while...
Be Thankful for What?
With the weather warming and all of us getting outside, there are so many things we can now see, hear, smell, and feel to be thankful for. Especially now that most of my spring yard work is behind me! Counting our blessings comes easy to us in spring, when cabin fever no longer renders them...
The Good Kind of Dependence
The Auto-feeder! Baby not included. Many of the young adults I've worked with are now at the age where they're having kids of their own...one just last week in fact! This brings back lots of precious baby memories and makes me head right for our family photos. And I found a gem I had forgotten...
The Wisdom of Our Youngers
TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, texting, and even Facebook are all things I've learned from young people. Snapchat was a hard pass. And as I meet new groups of students each year, I never cease to be amazed by how their lingering childhood informs our adulthood. As ancient as I sometimes feel, I...
“Don’t Judge Me” – Our Worst Enemy or Best Friend?
It's a phrase we all use. Sometimes as a joke when we have an oopsy, sometimes as a warning when we're threatened. "Don't judge me" may be silly or serious, but it's always a defense. An ubiquitous and even reflexive wall we throw up to guard us from something. But like eternally locking ourselves...
Wacky Quotes for Quick Wisdom
Since my wife and I started dating, we've maintained a quote book that we sporadically review for a few good laughs. But when we started making entries for our kids, we now enjoy many great laughs! As I peruse these today though, I'm realizing how much wisdom pours out of those (not so) little...
