I love mysteries and spy thrillers because I have insomnia. Seriously. I have to read something exciting enough to keep me from thinking about life long enough to fall asleep. That's challenging for a Christian because the exciting genres are usually full of sleaze. Let's face it, murders don't often happen in nice families! And,…

That sounds like the start to a funny, or maybe even disgusting story, doesn't it? And we've seen a few of those, too. I don't think anyone will ever forget the Skittles in the rollups for lunch.

Last night one of my sons read someone's…
A reader wrote in last week asking for help with a son's difficulty: We are trying to "prep" our 13 year old son for an interview at our local history museum. He would like to volunteer there but they seem sceptical as to "why any 13 year old boy would want to" (according to the…
There are few disasters as riveting as a shipwreck. Thankfully they are very, very rare these days. This weekend was one of the exceptions, as the cruise ship Costa Concordia struck a reef off the coast of Italy and sank in shallow water near Isla di Giglio. It's too soon to know the full story…
Every year I try to collect a few things from the news that speak to manhood -- either a great example of true, noble, God-honoring masculinity, or a cautionary example of how easily we men fall victim to our own weaknesses. Every year, there are plenty of examples of both types. We don't claim these…
When we were young, a boy had to led astray by an unruly friend or find an ungodly uncle's stash to be tempted by pornography. Not so, now. Now, it's lurking in the sidebars when he checks the football stats and is emailed to him by spammers. Boys don't even have to go looking for…
