Ancestry Continues...

Dad, Tell Me Your Story: The Unwritten Legacy in Your Living Room
It hits you at the oddest moments. Maybe you’re watching him fiddle with the grill, a man perfectly comfortable in the silent ritual of cooking. Or perhaps you see an old, faded photograph of a young man with a different hairstyle and a glint in his eye you don’t quite recognize. In that moment, a simple, powerful thought emerges: I don't really know him.

The Old Swing in the Backyard
The swing in our backyard wasn’t just an old piece of wood hanging from a rope; it was the heart of our family’s summer evenings. I remember how Dad had installed it decades ago, when he and Mom were newly married. Over the years, it had seen every kind of laughter, tears, and secret shared among our family members. The wood was worn, the rope frayed, yet it stood resilient, much like our family itself.

The Night We All Stayed Up
It started as an ordinary Friday evening, quiet and uneventful. We had finished dinner, the dishes were stacked, and my parents were preparing for a movie night. But my little sister had an idea that changed the entire evening: a sleepover in the living room. She begged us, pleaded even, until finally, my parents agreed. That was the beginning of one of the most unforgettable nights in our family history.

Mile Marker
# Mile Markers Once upon a Time couldn't come fast enough, I thought as the big gray four door pickup with my entire bedroom strapped into a Uhaul trailer backed out of my childhood driveway and entered the streets of adulthood. I silently counted my blessings as each mile marker passed as we furthered away from the 710 freeway onto open road tree divided patches of land as we trailed up Pacific Coast Highway.

The Old Music Box That Saved a Family:
Families are like stories, full of ups and downs, laughter and tears. Sometimes, it’s not big events that change everything, but small moments. A smile, a kind word, or a forgotten treasure can remind us of what truly matters.

Do Your Adult Children Like Spending Time With You?
Many parents, who have otherwise healthy relationships with their adult children, complain that their children get snippy and irritable when they spend significant amounts of time together.

Why the SOAP Bible Study Method Is the Key to a Deeper Walk with God
I remember the first time I sat down with my Bible and a blank notebook. I had the desire to grow in my faith, but I wasn’t sure where to begin. I opened the Scriptures, read a few verses, and then stared at the page wondering, “What do I do with this?”

Dogs as Family: Why the West Chooses Pets Over Parenthood
Introduction In many Western countries, a quiet but powerful cultural shift is taking place. Fewer people are choosing to have children, and in their place, dogs are becoming the emotional center of family life. While once considered loyal companions or guardians of the home, dogs today are being treated as “fur babies,” complete with birthday celebrations, designer outfits, and premium healthcare. This trend raises an important question: why are Western societies increasingly choosing pets over parenthood?
