I love it when kids are worshipping in large group. When kids are sincere and enthusiastic, it can put the most exuberant grown up worshipper to shame.
But something happens in the pre-teen years. You can always tell when kids start getting self-conscious and are “too cool” to lift their hands, dance and put their heart into worship.
Unfortunately, as we get older, it is more likely we get stuck not worshipping than to get stuck in the act of worshipping.
It’s all how you look at it, right? If you have the type of zombie that sits around all day and moans, then you might just may have found a good listener.
At least hope should spring eternal. It’s essential for quality of life. The old saying goes the only things certain are death and taxes. But there are three things that last beyond those certainties: faith, hope and love.
Since it’s October, my thoughts turn to spooky monsters like giant Frankenstein smartphones and vampires like data-sucking and battery-sucking apps. Fear not! This post delves into the frightening world of Frankenphones and Frankenapps.
Beware of the little monsters lurking within your new smartphone. I have seen many phones also bring the zombie curse to their users. Only a spell would explain the crazy obsession with selfies.

I admire parents who home school their kids. If my parents did it, I would not have been a model student. I am pretty sure I would have been an even worse homeschooling parent. I tip my hat off to friends and family that have had great success at homeschooling.
I have done some illustrations for Apologia Educational Ministries. I have been impressed with the depth and complexity of their text books. There are so many great resources out there today.
