Examples of Christians Parenting

John Dickerson – competent and yes, a Christian, and yes, also a wise parent it seems

I was struck by John Dickerson's wisdom and competency on Face the Nation. I heard others praised him for his handling of the Democratic debate – joking that he is who they wanted to vote for. Sure enough, he's a Christian–attends Mass on Saturday night since his job is to host a Sunday morning Sunday show. I thought he was also on target in his comments about trying to parent and guide your children during the everyday stuff of life.

Conversion

Leaving Westboro – an example of a conversion story

This is an interesting story about how a woman came to doubt a hateful, withdrawn version of Christianity. It is a sad story from the beginning of how she grew up all the way and including her current place. But it is interesting to see how people's minds and hearts are changed by love and compassion.

With Floodplain, Sara Groves continues to articulate feelings we all should feel

We went to the record release concert for Sara Grove's album Floodplain and now I have had a chance to listen to it. 

 

  1. As usual, @grovesroad has her heart to the ground feeling things the rest of us should be too. Listen & read words to new album Floodplain.
