    “Hey Daddy, Watch This!”

    Jarod

    , , ,

    My redheaded six year old daughter informed me when I came home from work, “Daddy, I want to show you something!” She’s lost three teeth, one in the very front, and of course she is by far the cutest six year old currently to exist. (Her older brother held the title until he turned 7.)… Read more

    Names of God

    PreachersWife

    “Children, can you tell me a name for God? Mary Frei, can you think of a name of God?” Mary Frei, “Jesus.” “Zeke, what about you?” “Jehovah Jirah.” “Good. Elisha? “The Holy Spirit.” “That’s right. Now Lily Beth, can you think of a name of God?” “Leroy.” The table came unglued! Poor girl looked baffled.… Read more

    Babydoll Stroller Repaired

    PreachersWife

    You know, there’s just some things you never can imagine saying ahead of time. As a parent it’s easy to take for granted how obvious some things are and yet childishness is often oblivious. As I put away my sewing machine from repairing the babydoll stroller seat I looked at Elisha and said, “Now Elisha,… Read more

  • Creativity and Inspiration

    I remember the first time it happened to me. That moment when you feel as though you are floating on the wind of inspiration and suddenly your writing doesn’t feel like work any more. I was writing about a planet. Read more

  • Quarantine!

    PreacherDad

    ,

    Now imagine it happening 4 or 5 times in one night. Now imagine three children sick with this cough at the same time. What this means is parents that must rise to comfort and care for a panicked child, some nights, every hour on the hour all night long! And imagine three weeks (approx.) of… Read more

    PreacherDad

    Ladies and Gentlemen, the results are in. After two weeks (ish) of voting and/or commenting we have a winner in the “What shall I write” competition. This winner does not necessarily get the rights to be the first book published by yours truly, however it will weigh heavily in my decision. After all, I would… Read more

  • The Writing Bug

    PreacherDad

    Being a lover of stories, be they true or fiction, I have decided to pursue one of several ideas I have had over the years. This is where y’all can assist me. I need to do some “market research” of a sort. My family and friends will certainly be my first customers, so I want… Read more

  • Waiting for the Good Stuff

    PreacherDad

    So tonight, in an incident with my 4 year old son, I had a snapshot of my life with the Lord over the last three years or so. We had some ice cream to give the children as dessert, but we require them to clean their plates before dessert is served. Tonight we decided not to tell… Read more

  • Understanding Derivatives

    PreacherDad

    Here is an e-mail I received which I found to be very interesting and helpful. I hope you find it so also. (Can you tell I’m on an analogy kick lately?)  :o)  [The nature of the business that “Helga” runs is not of my choosing, but appears to be necessary for the analogy to work.… Read more

    Then one day messengers arrive with the news that this little orphan has finally been adopted. And not just by anyone, but by the King himself. For some reason the King has chosen to love this poor little boy and bring him into the family. It is an official and legal adoption. This orphan is… Read more

  • The Hunt for Red Chicken

    PreacherDad

    ,

    The kitchen area at our fast food restaurant is a lot like the submarines you see on Hollywood movies. You know, movies like “The Hunt for Red October” or “U-571”, or others. These are, I assume, accurate to the nature and procedures of real submarines and their crew. In these movies the basic method for… Read more
