I saw this on Facebook, and it moved me. It is incredibly powerful. In the very beginning in the book of Genesis, Satan came for our children. Cain took the life of Abel. We saw this in the House of Jacob when Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery. We saw […]

Every Student Needs a Clean Slate w/ Each New Year
One year as a young teacher, I had a family who had been somewhat difficult to deal with the previous year. I mentioned to my principal that I was worried about it. This principal happened to be the best person I have ever worked for in any job. She was […]
A Verse To Think About
2 Timothy 4:3 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Children Need Their Dads
I have worked with young people for a long time. There is a role that Dads play which is irreplaceable. When Dads are absent from their traditional place in families, those families suffer. Sons need their dads. They need to see how to behave as a man. One of my […]

The Persecution of Christian Educators: A Collection of Three Previous Blog Posts
Sometimes an unintentional but common theme appears in my writing. It just shows up over time. The persecution of Christian educators is a real problem in public education. They need our prayers, and at times, our intervention. I am placing all three articles in one post so folks don’t have […]
When we are called to walk through the valley of the shadow of death…
I had a difficult time choosing the photographic image that is the thumbnail for this post. How do you choose a valley that looks like it has the shadow of death hanging over it? In the end, I picked a place that seemed empty, dark, and without hope. It is […]
