My Beautiful Daughter
Dear Em, This has been a weird season but the best part for me has been the few months we have been under the same roof again. I am sorry, not sorry, for the turn of events that left you jobless and homeless. I am sorry you both have gone through so much trauma and…
Father’s Day 2020
I think about the Amy Grant song written many years before we were parents and how Jim shared that he hoped one day, when he became a parent, that the words would be true of him as he reflected Jesus. Eyes that find the good in things, When good is not around; Eyes that find…
Baking a Wedding Cake
A wedding metaphor for Cameron and Emma K I think of many creative analogies for marriage, but for you I am going with baking! Baking is a common metaphor for describing a marriage with making sure you add the right ingredients and follow the recipe, yet I would add a twist. You are not only…
A Quarantine Wedding
There are so many ripple effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. One of them is that it has become the very unwelcome wedding guest as couples have to scrap their plans, can’t honeymoon and are unable to get a wedding license. Saturday, April 18th was the date Dale and Megan set long ago. It was…

30 is the Next decade!
XXX is a turkey in bowling. It is the number of days in most months. It is the age that Jesus started his public ministry. Abraham Lincoln said that a man should not make any serious decisions until he is 30. Well, Connor, it is too late for that philosophy, since you have already chosen…
Mohler Christmas 2019
By the time you read this it will be a Happy New Year card! I don’t know about you but it feels like I just wrote a review of 2018 and sent out Christmas Cards. Where did the year go?! 2019 is nearly history. It was a good and busy year. Some things are fairly…

Remember 2019
The heart of thankfulness is about remembering. So this season for my annual gratitude list, I will share a few things that I never want to forget. 11/1 Ps. 105:5 says to remember the wonderful works God has done. There is no way I could list them all, but today I am grateful for the…
