Blindsided By Autism- A Father’s Journey.

October 31, 2012

This is a guest post from my good friend, Bruce Humphrey. He serves as the High School Pastor at Mount Pleasant Christian Church in Greenwood, Indiana.

Being “Those People!”

October 17, 2012

I wake up early, head to the laundry room, and pull my son’s football pants from the dryer. Through grogginess and semi-sleep deprivation I place each pad in its respective pocket.

October 15, 2012

Distracted? Consumed with work? Attached to your phone? Locked into email? Fully engaged in conversations on Facebook or Twitter? You may be sacrificing more than you think. That’s the realization I’ve come to and the hard lesson I continue to learn….
