Dads, Faith
God definitely has a great sense of humor as well as a penchant for practical jokery. In this episode, I look at one of His best jokes related to parenthood.

The human design flaw of married-with-children sex

Dads, Observations
It's an uncomfortable topic, but one that needs to be addressed, I think. The process of having children simply affects men and women differently — no matter how tight you are with your soul mate — and no greater is this difference than where it applies to shmex, as my 19-year-old son calls it.

Kid’s Electronics Christmas Contract

Children, Christmas, Dads, Observations

The Tooth Fairy: What the Heck Were We Thinking?

Children, Dads
There are several culturally sanctioned lies we tell our children. Y’know, things that are clearly made-up and not true. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, “We'll take a vacation to Disney World one summer soon,” are all examples. These fibs are fun and well-meaning, but untruths nonetheless. Don’t worry, I’m not judging. I’m all for them and participate enthusiastically. Of the Tooth Fairy, however, I’m not a huge fan. The concept that a supernatural being — perhaps a tiny, sparkly woman with wings — flutters into a child’s bedroom late at night, collects the still-bloody, newly extracted tooth from directly underneath the kid’s head, and replaces it with quite real currency…well... It’s just weird.
