No More Jellyfish, Chickens, or Wimps: Raising Secure, Assertive Kids in a Tough World by Paul Coughlin Steve wasn't prepared for adult life. This fact has been driven
into him in part through his own troubled conscience; it's been
driven in even more by his wife of eighteen years, fed up with being
the only proactive adult in the home. <more...>
Rethinking
"Evangelism" by Brian Jones During graduate school I worked each summer in the maintenance
department of a large financial services company helping to maintain
its landscaping and beautiful rolling lawn. Early on I could tell
that the guys on the maintenance crew weren’t real thrilled with
having a “pastor-in-training” on their team, but their
misgivings only strengthened my resolve to reach out to them <more...>
50 Things That Really Do Matter by Lee Wise In my opinion, these things matter...
1. Listening enough to care and caring enough to listen.
2. Being a dreamer but not living in a dream world. <more...>
Your Not-So-Empty Nest by Karen Wolff So the day has finally come.....your last child has gone to
college or moved out of your home. Here you are, alone with your
husband for the first time in many years. So now what? <more...>
The Importance of Friendships by Dionna Sanchez No one quite understands our emotions and feelings like a
girlfriend. And once we're married with families, we lose that
valuable "friendship time". It may be that it's that sense
of loss sometimes that makes us feel lonely on an otherwise cheery
day. <more...>
Reflections of the Cross By Chris
Surber When I was a kid growing up in Northern California, one of
my favorite places to visit was Mirror Lake in Yosemite Valley.
Mirror Lake gets its name from the fact that from the right
perspective and during the right time of year, it proudly displays a
spectacular reflection of Mt. Watkins. The mountain is flawlessly
reflected in the lake! In the Gospel of Mathew, Jesus admonishes us
to let the light of the love of God which is inside of us shine so
that others will see it and give glory to God. <more...>
The Driving Force of Prayer by Ted Schroder Corrie ten Boom once asked, “Is prayer your steering wheel or
your spare tire?” In other words, is prayer automatically a
central part of your life, that enables you to get through each day,
or only called upon when you are in trouble, when you have an
occasional accident, or an emergency? We clutch the steering wheel
as though life depends on it – and it does! If we neglect the
steering wheel when we drive, we will end up in the ditch or worse.
We rarely give the spare tire a thought. It is there only when we
need it, if ever. Are you a steering wheel pray-er or a spare tire
pray-er? <more...>
It's Not About Time by Nan S. Russell
With mounting to-do lists, big projects with short delivery dates, consuming workloads, growing obligations and festering unfinished tasks, it's no wonder in this what-have-you-done-for-me-today world we often feel time deprived. Work-life flows to home-life, balance becomes imbalance, and goals and dreams get relegated to a closet shelf.

How to Give
Your Child A Priceless Legacy By Dad David In today’s world of microwave speed, channel surfing and
drive-through everything’s (including weddings), words like
“traditions”, “family roots”, and “legacy” seem to
fit more comfortably in a discussion of times <more...>
A Father's Value by Mark Brandenburg MA, CPCC It happened when I least expected it. During an afternoon in
which I had been lamenting my role as a “janitor” with my
family, my seven-year-old daughter put things back into perspective
for me. “You’re the best daddy in the world,” she
whispered to me as she gave me a big hug. <more...>
Building “Hedges” around
Your Marriage by Lisa M. Hendey I typically "blur over" when reading books related to
relationships, but Avoiding the Greener Grass Syndrome
by Nancy C. Anderson grabbed me from page one. This is probably due
to the fact that Anderson takes time to share her own experience and
marriage prior to jumping into suggestions for how you can improve
yours. <more...>
The Kids are Coming, the Kids are Coming.... 10 Tips for Staying Sane this Summer
by Tracy Lyn Moland
The countdown is on – only 42 more days of school. The kids are ecstatic and the parents in fear. We all have different summer memories – great times, boring times, and traveling. Summer is a wonderful time but it can certainly come with some challenges. Our children are out of school and that can mean some interesting scheduling. Unfortunately, the working world does not generally allow for holidays that mirror the local school systems. However, with a bit of advance planning parents can ensure that they avoid bored kids and maintain their own sanity.

Finding True Christian
Fellowship by Glen Williams We've all heard the popular Christian lament, "Why can't we
be more like the early churches?" It seems the further we get
from the ascension of Christ, the more we look like the Scribes and
Pharisees He criticized, with our rules, rituals, pomp, ceremony and
upper class of privileged and educated rulers who cannot be <more...>
