I have just returned from a week in North Carolina with Curtis Pixler and the Union Baptist Church. We had a great revival! About Tuesday night it seemed that God began to break hearts and call people to repentance. Publicly and privately people were confessing their sin and distance from God. It was a beautiful thing to see. One man who was called upon to pray over the offering began to confess sins and ask God, his family and his Church to forgive him. What a humbling thing that was to hear.
Key Dates that Changed my Life

My creative children figured out a way around my stinginess.
Follow up on Question about Parenting
Following our recent series on the “Incredible Family” we recieved several questions about dealing with rebellion in the hearts of young children.

Q and A – How much X-Box is too much? (Seriously)
That is totally your call. Teens many times don’t think they feel. That is why they become addicted to things rather easily. They need you to think sensibly for them at times. That is the role of the parent.
