You’d Better Prepare Yourself for This

“Dad, do you remember when…?” That phrase that comes up at least once anytime we all get together. I hear it often—and it has surprised me. No one told me about this when my kids were younger. Often, when our adult kids get together with us, it feels like confession time. It’s like a bunch of convicts coming clean. They settle in, amused, ready to tell their stories.

The Christmas We Still Have Time to Shape

If your home looks anything like ours right now, you may be feeling the swirl of these final days before Christmas Eve. Decorations that still haven’t made it to their proper places, gifts that need wrapping (or still need buying), a to-do list that feels strangely longer now than it did two weeks ago… I get it.

Bacon, Guardrails, and the Path to True Freedom

Bacon…  How wonderful is bacon?!   One of my favorite TV moments comes from Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. During a debate on a sports show, his co-host Skip Bayless started ranting about how disgusting pork is. Shannon let him go on for a minute, then calmly said, “I eat everything on the pig but the squeal. Mmmmmm!”   Skip, horrified, asked, “You don’t really eat that junk, do you?”  Shannon just grinned and said, “OINK!”  Skip
