Success
Marty (SBC Outpost) has written a short critique of this article that laments the immaturity of young pastors. One sentence from Dr. Caner’s lamentation caught my attention: I shudder when I read blogs of men who have never grown a single church, or accomplished anything to deserve to have an opinion, criticize those who have [...]
Co-Parenting Software
In a perfect world divorced parents would be able to talk calmly and reasonably and arrive at joint decisions in their child’s best interest. (I guess I should say in an almost-perfect-world… in a perfect world the parents wouldn’t be divorced.) Unfortunately that doesn’t always happen. Some ex’s just can’t tolerate being in the same [...]
They Always Get Caught
This article just made me laugh: ROME (Reuters) – A man who took his mistress to the beach made the mistake of waving to a film crew on a helicopter covering Italy’s bicycle race and was discovered by his wife. According to media reports, the man was with his younger mistress on a beach in [...]

An angry, bitter, contested divorce plus alcohol and unlimited cell phone minutes is a bad combination.

In it a skeptic asks several questions about the nature of Christianity; the last question is Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate [...]
Finals Week
I teach an Intro to Psych class at Tulsa Community College. I told my students at the beginning of the semester I could practically guarantee they would pass my class if they would just show up. On the first day of the course we had a frank discussion about what it takes to make a [...]
Jonah: 3
From Jonah’s Mom: Now the good news…he got out of bed yesterday! Since he didn’t have the epidural line anymore we were able to get him up and put him in a wagon. Across the hall from our room is an outdoor courtyard where they have balls, cars, trikes, and a playground. Jeremy handed him [...]
