In 2020 – the year most will say has been the worst of their lives, the year when my greatest accomplishment some days is taking a shower – Taylor Swift released not one, but two, full-length studio albums. Several years back, I blogged about why I hate Taylor Swift, which, spoiler alert, I don’t really. …
Yes, hate is a strong word. And, no, I don’t really mean it. It’s sort of like when you’re young and you have your first crush, and you think this must be love. Then the guy turns out to be a big jerk so you decide to hate him even though you love him, and …
I’ve been concerned lately about respecting the privacy of my kids. I don’t mean privacy as in knowing what’s in their rooms or checking my daughter’s text message history.

I heard a song on the radio today for the first time but I don’t think it’s new. It’s called “Little Girl” by John Michael Montgomery. Listen/watch here. It may or may not make you cry, but it will definitely make you think.
I’ve said it before but this is one of the best worship songs, in my opinion. Have a listen: Hillsong’s “Mighty To Save”. Praise God!
Last night I met some old high school friends for dinner. I hadn’t seen a couple of them in a decade probably. I knew it had been quite awhile but to tally up the years is quite daunting. While driving to the restaurant, I was surfing radio stations and stopped on one that fit my …
