My backyard is a winter wonderland. We’ve made the best of this cold blast. The kids have been playing in the snow and sledding. But as most things, we’re about ready for it to go. We’ll enjoy the beauty while it lasts…
My cousin send out a youth ministry survey to several youth pastors asking about philosophy and ideals in many different areas of youth ministry. This is my answer…
And I know this is bound to spark misunderstanding, arguments, and bouts of indigestion, but, hey, why else do I have a blog…
We were talking with James, my six year old, about the controversy they’ve had in the Washington State legislative building over the display of the nativity and the subsequent sign placed next to it by the Freedom From Religion [atheist] Foundation.
As James read the above sign from the FfRF he said something so articulate and true, it blows my mind that he’s only six.
“If there’s no reason for us to be here, and nothing happens when we die, what do we live for?”
We were eating dinner yesterday and it was snowing. James turns to me and says, “We should put on our bathing suits and go and roll in the snow.” The other kids laughed because it sounded absurd. Then I replied, “sure.” There was a moment of silence at the table as the kids eyeballed each other. The Aida asked me, “Are you serious!?!”
To see if they went through with the challenge. Check out this video:
