From Christianity Today’s Family Corner:
Mamma Mia! is rated PG-13 for “some sex-related comments.” By “some” they mean a lot of sexual innuendo, much of it in reference to Donna’s wilder younger days. For example, characters ask each other if they’re “getting any” or suggest a guy could floss his teeth with a pair of women’s [...]

I have had a few times in my life when for one reason or another I had trouble sleeping. One whole month a couple of summers ago I could not sleep and just about went crazy. Many teens are half out of it at school, work, and even worse, when driving.
Sleep deprivation is an epidemic [...]

Step Brothers is rated R for crude and sexual [...]

Our softball team received a total rear-end kicking on Tuesday night. It was a true team effort. We were aweful together. I know there will be great gains of wisdom to come from such humiliation. I am looking forward to knowing them.
There was some excitement in our game. I was pitching and there was a [...]

I have read a couple of books on the history of Starbucks. I have been fascinated by their story and by their ability to create “a third place” . Are you familiar with that term? The third place is where you go and hang out for community besides your home and your work place. They [...]

The Bible teaches us that when we decide to follow Christ, when we become Christians, we are reborn into the Spirit of God and we are able to see and hear things through God’s eyes and ears. The things that are important to God become important to us. When we pray we pray for the [...]

It is always wise to ask a successful person what the secrets are to his success. This week Christianity Today has an article in their Marriage section called What’s The Secret to a Happy Marriage? Author Diane Barker wrote that they asked married couples “what is the secret to your happy marriage?”
I don’t think the answers [...]

Lisa and I went to see “Get Smart” yesterday afternoon…… It was goofy, but I think that was the plan. I had read several pretty bad reviews but it was not all that bad.
If you have an afternoon with nothing to do or you want something to rent when it comes out on DVD….. There [...]
