Mee-Maw, Poppy and Nanna

There’s a special joy reserved for the relationship between a grandchild and their grandparents. They can take the grandkids out to a movie, buy them candy and ice cream, and then send them home…

Your Favorite Kids Movie

I was excited to hear that they’re making another Toy Story. It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly 15 years since Toy Story released back in 1995! Since then, Pixar has went on…

The Son Has Come And You’ve Been Left Behind

In the 70s and early 80s a realization swept through evangelical churches across the country: Time is short and Jesus could be coming back any time now! Books, tracts and films sprang up announcing the imminent return of Christ.

The Long Road To Getting Back In Shape

I used to be in decent shape.
When I was younger a group of friends talked about going on a long bike trip and camping out along the way. When it came down to actually doing it only myself and Mark (now my brother-in-law) were the only ones able to go. So we bought all the [...]
