Do Your Kids Know About Porn?
You see, we will be quick to talk to them about drugs, or drinking. Yet when it comes to porn, we get a bit uncomfortable, we feel awkward, we think that they might already know about it so we avoid our discomfort and remain quiet.

However, there is always that one thing that also comes with gardens and the joys of growing plants, the weeds! Weeds are those undesirable plants that come into our established domain and start to suck up water, choke out, or bring in other destructive bugs to our wanted plants. Continue reading

Beauty lies in the eyes of YOU DAD!
“Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder” That is a famous quote that most of us have heard over the years. It comes from the the great Greek philosopher Plato. Today as I look around, I see commercials, magazines, books and television shows that attempt to tell our young girls what it means to be beautiful. You should wear this dress, shirt, shoes, or walk a certain way or even wear a particular perfume. But let me give you another option to all of this dad. Continue reading

Time…Where Did it Go?
This month is only half way over and I am wondering where the time has gone? I think that today is the first day that I have had that I am sitting down and resting for a bit. Life goes by so fast and at times it feels like I am sitting on the bridge of the USS Enterprise at warp 9.8! One of my kids will be celebrating his 10th birthday this month. I sit back and look at the young man that he is becoming and I wonder, where did the time go? Continue reading

Technology For Christmas?
Yeah, Christmas is almost here and the thought of what to get the kids for Christmas is at the front of the thought process. Which brings up todays question, “Are you giving technology for Christmas?”
Now, I will preempt this post by saying that I am a tech-junkie, even though others know me as Camp Master Steve, or the uncle from the Nutcracker, or the Lt. Dan look alike, and Jesus. (Yeah, I live a rather diverse life here!) I have had a video game next to me since I was 9 years old. Continue reading

Who Is Dating Your Daughter?
Hey dads out there! Here is a question for you, “Who is dating your daughter?” You may be thinking that your daughter is too young to be dating, but she is not! My daughter is five and she is dating now. Before you think that I have totally lost it, keep reading and you will understand why my daughter is dating.
My daughter is a special little girl to me. My wife went and picked her up at the hospital when she was 18 hours old and we adopted her within the next year on the Friday before Mothers Day. Over the past five years, I have watched with amazement and fascination at this child growing up before me. She has an outlook on the world that is unlike any other I know. She believes that everyone needs a hug, that she is a ballerina, and she can do karate better than me! Continue reading

Being The Best Father You Can Be – Responsibility
Guys, I am here today to get to the first of three things we as dads/fathers need to know to be the best that we can be. It is not an easy task to be a dad and even harder when we are going at it blindly. Yet do not lose hope, for there is an instruction book already prepared for you by the best author ever. Today we will cover a topic that we all need to hear about and take a close look at.
Responsibility Responsibility
When I think of the responsibility of a dad/father, there are two verses that come to my mind. Both of these verses speak of a direct job and responsibility of a father. One is not to provoke your kids and the other is to train them. Both are huge responsibilities of the father and they are both responsibilities that many of us push away and push-off to others to do. But no longer, for the time has come for all dads/fathers to stand up and be responsible. Continue reading

Being The Best Father You Can Be – Part 1
How are you being the best father you can be? Today in modern society there is no other role that is neglected more than that of being a father. This is a gift of God that has been thrown out, outsourced, put to the side for money, and walked away from by the men who stepped up to be “The Man” at the time, but are not willing to give the time now. He placed the incredible responsibility of fatherhood on my shoulders just as he did so many other men.
Now, if we look into God’s word, Continue reading

Fatherhood ~ What Are You Passing? Part 2
Guys, my heart has been heavy on the role of a father and what the responsibilities of a father are recently. Today is a second part of the “What Are You Passing?” series.
Fatherlessness
One of the biggest issues that we, as a society, face today is the issue of fatherlessness. There are exceptions of Godly fathers, however, they are not the rule. If you look back in the Bible (Chapter 3 of Genesis) to where Adam & Eve failed the covenant that God has placed for them and they passed down the curse, Cain killed Able. By time that Chapter 6 of Genesis comes around, the whole world has fallen apart!
Now there is a good thing that goes along with a covenant. With a covenant comes a blessing. Look in Genesis 18
Genesis 18
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
17 Then the Lord said, “Should I hide what I am about to do from Abraham? 18 Abraham is to become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him.There was to be a blessing through Abraham that would effect the lineage of his family and which would eventually become Israel. Through his obedience to God, there would be a blessing. God’s hand of blessing goes with the covenant. We need to stop thinking contractually and start thinking coventantly.
