Fathers in all family situations, whether intact homes or homes that have suffered the damaging blows of divorce, need to step up as the positive influence and guide God has purposed them to be. No child should have to suffer the verbal attack and humiliation that was dished out by Mr. Baldwin. Unfortunately, however, this rant is far too common in far too many of our homes in America. Flicka http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=30 It is hard to find a good movie. This last week was our family's "Spring Break" from school and we've had a wonderful time breathing the clean air of a warm Spring day. We've been able to spend time together creating callouses. Some of my brothers and sisters built a fully functional fire pit and we roasted hotdogs over all the branches we had trimmed earlier in the day. We are all looking forward to having our own back yard campfire cook outs all summer with friends and family! Mmmm...S'mores! Review by Andrea Graham http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=29 A good friend of mine, Andrea Graham, recently read <i>Fathers and Daughters: Raising Polished Cornerstones </i>and posted a review on her site. Stewarding our Families this Season http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=28 As I was sitting at a stoplight – in a long line of cars -- waiting for it to turn green yesterday, I was reminded of how "busy" the Holiday season becomes every year. Places to go, presents to buy, meals to plan, trips to take, cards to write, programs and plays, baking to finish…the list seems endless. Dr. Dobson on Fathers and Daughters http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=27 A friend e-mailed me this link of Dr. Dobson's comments on Father-Daughter relationships. I appreciate what he said and the fact that he clearly explained the great responsiblity a father has in shaping his daughter's beliefs, future relationships, and espeically her perception of men. Father-Daughter Interview on Faith and Reason http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=26 Just now had a chance to post our radio interview on Faith and Reason from last week. It was a great show. We even got to touch on singleness a little bit -- one of my favorite topics to discuss. I Joy Over You http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=25 I have been very busy lately, but I have not been neglecting to read Father-Daughter (and related topic) books. I hope to post some reviews of them soon. Another Radio Interview http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=24 Dad and I were interviewed last night by our great friend, Matt Slick, director of <i>CARM (Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry)</i> and host of the show <i>Faith and Reason</i>. He is the father of three daughters. We were barely able to scrape the surface, and we are excited to be invited back next Tuesday, September 12th to continue our discussion of Father-Daughter relationships. We will tackle some of the challenging issues faced in the Christian Church today, like....what about girls without a father, or with an absent father? Listen to David and Elysse Barrett http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=23 Yesterday we were interviewed by Chuck Crismier on Viewpoint Radio out of Virginia. Thank you, Chuck, for this wonderful opportunity to have this conversation with you. We were blessed and honored. The Dollar http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=22 I don't regularly listen to Country music. In fact, I've never heard this song myself, but my Dad happened to hear it and said I should look up the lyrics. These lyrics apply to the relationship between a Daddy and his girl just as much as his boy! Book Review: Handmaidens of the Lord http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=21 Handmaidens of the Lord by Crystal Paine is a delightful little book designed for young ladies just like me! The best words I can use to describe this book are: Refreshing, Encouraging, and Practical. Since it is small, it is not too overwhelming for even a young teenage daughter to read and gain encouragement. Book Review: Wisdom of our Fathers http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=20 My father's life would not make chapter one of anyone's book, but he taught me how to live by the way he lived. Rev. RV Brown http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=19 Just about a month ago, my mom was listening to Family Life Today and told me to tune in and check it out. Communication and Revival http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=18 Recently I have been finally listening to the teachings from the Rocky Mountain Biblical Worldview Conference sponsored by the Biblical Worldview Learning Center in April, 2006. Thank You, Fathers http://www.polishedcornerstones.com/blog.asp?id=17 Most of us get used to taking things for granted. It is so important that we don't take the relationships the Lord gives us for granted -- especially our family relationships.
