Scattering Seeds

One time Jesus told a story about a farmer. The farmer went out and scattered seeds. Jesus made it clear that we who follow Him are supposed to play the farmer. Most of the time, I don’t play the farmer. I have the opportunity, but I keep my mouth shut. Sometimes, I do actually playContinue reading “Scattering Seeds”

The Vanity of Accomplishments

Over the weekend, I visited my parents’ home for Christmas. Before the big dinner, my dad and I went upstairs to play a game of fooseball, while my wife, daughter, and mom stayed downstairs to talk. Upstairs, I noticed I still had quite a collection of old trophies and plaques. I had noticed them theContinue reading “The Vanity of Accomplishments”

Today, however, I must inform you of aContinue reading “Something New”

Productivity (Addendums)

For fear of being misunderstood, let me add some addendums to my last post on Productivity. First, this type of schedule is for adults, not children. It would be wrong of us to force this schedule at a young age. Second, don’t think that every day has to include this many tasks. Your evening canContinue reading “Productivity (Addendums)”
