The Things You Learn in the Strangest Places

By Jeff | Published: June 8, 2010

My daughter Kathleen loves foxes. Until last Friday she had never owned one. We bought her one that afternoon. Not a real one of course. As Dr. Desoto rightly observes in William Steig’s excellent story, foxes are “wicked, wicked creatures.” Instead we bought her a small, hard, painted plastic fox that she picked out specially. [...]

What Does the Bible Say about Divorce and Remarriage? (Part 2)

By Jeff | Published: December 4, 2009

Last time I listed the main biblical passages dealing with divorce and remarriage. I also previewed some of the conclusions I had come to when studying these passages.

What Does the Bible Say about Divorce and Remarriage? (Part 1)

By Jeff | Published: December 1, 2009

The passages we studied reopened my eyes to the Bible’s surprising—and oft-ignored—teaching on these crucial and difficult topics.

The Gemstone Game

By Jeff | Published: November 30, 2008

One rainy Sunday when the kids had too little to do and I didn’t have the energy to chase them around the house, we came up with a game that they enjoyed but allowed me to relax. We call it the Gemstone Game, and it has become one of our favorites.

Sculpture Garden

By Jeff | Published: May 28, 2008

Our family invented a new game this weekend. It’s fun and cheap so we thought we’d share it with you. We call it “Sculpture Garden.” It’s good for any number of players. Our 3-year old found it boring, but our 5- and 9-year olds loved it. It would probably work for 4s too, but we [...]
