My wife is really good at challenging me. Sometimes, it takes awhile to digest, but it’s always good for me, and it always helps me grow. Lately, she has shared some things with me that are helping me more than I realize…and I need it!
Yesterday I was browsing through my Facebook news feed when I came across a video with radio talk show host, Dave Ramsey. In the clip he explains, very candidly, his view on teenagers and their use of social media. Watch the entire clip now:
Sometimes, as a parent, I want to jump in and give my kids advice when things are going wrong. I bet some of you understand this feeling. But, lately, I’ve discovered there’s a better solution…
This is an open and honest post by my wife Kristin. In the post, she chronicles our struggles with our oldest son, who suffers from mental illness. Our hope is that any parent reading this, who deals with this with their own child, will find hope and comfort, and a voice.
My wife and I have been in the parenting business for nearly 12 years now. To say that it’s been an adventure would be quite the understatement. It’s been more than an adventure. It’s been an adventure, doctorate study, Mount Everest climb, parachute jump, and journey to Middle Earth all wrapped into one! (I’m not really sure how Middle Earth made it into that list :-)).

Back in 2005 I heard about blogging for the first time from a friend and I shook my head. “Why would anyone want to read someone’s open thoughts?” I said to myself. “Seems like a silly means to get attention!” Those were really my thoughts. I’m not kidding.
As an adoptive parent, I have been asked some majorly ridiculous questions about my children and adoption. If you don’t believe that we get asked crazy things, check out my post on proper adoption terminology or the video I posted last year on the stupid things people say to transracial families…
