No Easy Way Out.

Gray hair is a sign of age and wisdom.
Loss of hair is a sign of child rearing


Our children are a true gift and miracle from God. We have been given the distinct honor and duty of raising them to be godly people in the Kingdom of God. Though our culture thrives on finding shortcuts and more efficient ways of performing certain tasks, there is no offer for this one. The mission of raising our kids is not about efficiency, and there are no shortcuts. It’s minimum 18-year commitment of praying, guiding, persevering, listening, disciplining, and seeing them trained to be heroes in the faith.
The cost is huge, decades of time, thousands of dollars, personal time and opportunities, and of course some hair. However, the cost of the alternative is greater. We are mandated to multiply and fill the earth with righteous seeds. The great news is we are all in it together. I’m glad I can help you who have teens. I know when my time comes that I will not stand-alone. God bless you all.

Let Your Light Shine!

There is a popular saying that goes "The light that shines the farthest shines the brightest at home." If you have heard that saying you probably have also heard it's intended meaning: if you want to make a huge difference in the world first take good care of the people and the things that are around you.

That is a very catchy saying and it conveys a message essential for all leaders: Great leadership begins at the home. You have a greater chance of posing a false image of who you really to those who are far from your personal life. However, if you want to really test the depth of your character, value the opinions of those who are always around you.

I am a leader of great character when those who are closest to me love me the most.

My First Blog

Hello everyone,

This blog site should prove to be a hot one. I hope that through it both my readers and myself will learn a lot. My blog will seek to look into the culture and what goes on, and hopefully shed some light into what is going on in the unseen. Apologetics is one of my strong areas so at times I will attempt to tear down some of the hard questions that are thrown at us as Christians I invite you to read through some of these thoughts that I will put up, and I am open to any questions.

Thank you very much fellow fan.

Jean
