A finger had to be cut, to save the hand. -Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed You will realize the elders in the room Learned the alphabet of hurting and falling apart differently For you, healing looks like talking and transparency For them, it is silence and burying And both are probably valid -Koleka Putuma, Collective Amnesia The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.

The last time I published something personal was November of 2016. It's safe to say I'm back, thanks in large part to my baby, my bae, my cat, Baby Taffets. You know he's a remarkable cat given that he's all that's successfully pulled me out of my writing funk. That being said, this is officially a mommy blog. There's going to be numerous pictures and videos of me and the cat doing benign things that are amplified in awesomeness because they're being done by my cat. [ 669 more words ]

Real Family Values: Leading Your Family into the 21st Century with Clarity and Conviction by Robert Lewis NonFiction

This re-release of the popular original edition continues to speak to parents in a society where "family values" no longer seem to exist. If anything, today's community standards threaten the family. Airwaves and movie theaters are drenched with obscenities; perversion is glorified; divorce is cheap and easy; "safe s*x" is promoted instead of abstinence; parental authority is undermined; s*x roles are confused. For children, such cultural chaos is crippling. But in Real Family Values, parents will learn how to sort through today's moral confusion, remove it from their homes, and change the world by zeroing in on the part they love most: their families.

Romancing Your Child's Heart by Monte Swan

Parents can have awesome relationships with their children, but it is not enough to fill them with Bible facts, verses, and demand of them certain desired behaviors - you must first capture their hearts. When a child is young, parents can impose their will. When the child is older, however, if the parent hasn't won his heart, all the force in the world will only serve to drive him farther and farther away. How can parents win the hearts of their children? It all starts with romance - exactly as God woos us. Not just another parenting book, Monte Swan takes an entirely new approach to reaching the heart of a child . . . the way of romance. Desiring to lead their children to a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, parents will learn the very best approach to open the hearts of their children. Swan teaches parents how they can enter into the world of their children and give them not only what they long for, but what they need . . . an environment of total love and security from which they can conquer the challenges life has to offer. He demonstrates how any parent can turn the tables on the world and romance the hearts of their children to the love of God. With practical advice in real-life parenting situations, Swan equips parents first with the enthusiasm for the challenge ahead and then with concrete ways to win the heart of any child.
