Wednesday’s Child: Sumaj

July 25, 2018

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

Bring Back That Lovin’ Feeling

July 19, 2018

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2008 I have a secret to tell you. Are you ready? I'm going to whisper it so no one else hears. I'm a little embarrased about it, so I'm saying it really quietly. You ready? Okay, here goes: Some days I don't really like my kids. It feels awful and evil to say that, but it's true. Kids can sometimes behave in ways that are, frankly, kind of hard to love. And yet, we continue to love them, because that's what a parent . . .

The best finds during Amazon’s big #primeday sale today and tomorrow

July 16, 2018

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Amazon, and Prime Day is a great mid-year opportunity to get some great deals. I'm going to be watching what's going on over there and updating all day today and tomorrow, as they roll out new deals every hour. Here's what I'm digging so far:The Echo Dot is only $29 today. I now have one in every room. My kids use these as alarm clocks, speakers, and to listen to books. I can intercom them from the living room, and also listen in on them while not home. . . .

Life Lately

July 16, 2018

Last night during Beer and Hymns, @amygrantofficial showed up to join us, and the audience begged her to play El Shaddai. She grabbed Chad’s guitar and started singing, and suddenly the tent burst into song. Many of us grew up on her songs but many of us have ambivalence or pain around our evangelical past. For her to show up in this specific space with this specific song ... it was a redemptive moment for many of us. ?: @matthewpaulturner #wildgoosefestival #beerandhymns . . .
