“I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but have already passed from death into life.”Jesus Christ, John 5:24 NLTRead Devotions from Dad
This website is focused on the two things that I want to do well in life: First, to be a great husband and second, to be a great dad. I have often wondered what or where I would be today if I was alone. Being a husband and father is the calling of my life and I want to do it well. Twenty years ago I had no idea what a godly marriage looked like. I was a follower of Christ, but I was also very immature and selfish. Yet God was faithful and He begin to do a work in my life that is still in process today. This website is a poor attempt to chronicle what some of those lessons were about. The pages on marriage are a condensed version of an essay that lays out God’s expectation. I hope that if you stumble upon it that God will somehow use my feeble words to encourage you in your marriage and family adventure.
The page entitled Devotions from Dad is an ongoing conversation with my wife and children. For many years I have read a chapter of Proverbs each day, writing down my thoughts on napkins and scraps of paper. Well the paper notes are stacking up and I don’t do a great job of saving them, but I would like to leave them for posterity sake. Read them for what they are; the ramblings of a husband and father that screws up way too much.
In Christ,
Dad

What makes a family special? The answer to this question will be different for every person. For me, family was a place of acceptance and security; a confidence that no matter what life threw at me, the family would be there. The concept of family took on a much broader definition with the life, death,…
