The decision earlier this week by the Boy Scouts of America’s National Council to accept openly homosexual boys as Scouts has raised a lot of anger and vitriol across the country. The BSA has been warned to expect a mass exodus of boys and leaders from the troops. I’ve seen Facebook posts from many who […]

God has a funny sense of humour. And a sweet way of hugging me when I need it most. My sons are headed off this weekend, the younger for Boy Scout camp, the older to work for a week with Appalachia Service Project — he will be working in Kentucky this year. So after taking […]

My sons are delightful people. Especially now, as they begin to grow out of childhood and into manhood. It is a joy and a privilege to watch them on their journey to adulthood. It is a terrifying responsibility to guide them on that road. My older son is in the wavering phase, teetering between childhood […]

Some time ago, I began reading Alex Lickerman’s blog. It’s interesting to read about the philosophy and outlook of a man who is actively practising Buddhism. And occasionally (more often than not), I find in his posts a touchstone — one of those universal truths that transcends religious creed and just is true. Today’s post contains one […]

Wow … almost a month of no new posts (though I have been migrating old posts from my Blogit account, so you’ll see some really old stuff back in the archives, as well as my new “Inspirations” page). Lost my groove back there somewhere, and haven’t the time to go back and try to find […]

Continuing the list of lessons I learned from my recent vacation, The second lesson is: Trust your parents. Now, let me say right off that I am certain that some of my readers have parents who should not be trusted. But you’d better make mighty sure before you decide your parents are in that category. […]

The private message on yesterday’s post read: “You’ve got to be kidding ….I mean, if you want to isolate yourself from society and anyone that is just the least slight bit different from you, that’s OK. But why do you want to screw up your kids? Kids develop social skills by being around other kids […]

I was interested to learn of a new book released in 2008, and to discover the author’s blog. I have long been concerned about what schools are doing to our little boys, and much of Peg Tyre’s writing confirms my fears and observations. What Ms. Tyre reports is one reason that I began home-schooling my […]

Boys are delightful creatures. I don’t understand them, but I love them. I have two boys. And from my interactions with them, I can tell you that, for all that is said about how women’s minds work strangely and how incomprehensible women are, boys have got women beat by a country mile. An example. My […]

We are so busy with different things right now that I’m not keeping up too well with blogs and other “extra-curricular” activities. But we are all happy and having fun, so I guess it’s a good trade-off. Karate. Last Friday night, the children and I passed our karate rank tests, and advanced from white belt […]
