This past weekend we watched the Disney movie, Frozen. Twice, actually. (I know, we’re a bit behind.) Both times as the end credits were rolling (even knowing what was coming the second time) I felt impressed. Not by any technology or effects, though the animation was flawless. It was the story. The princesses are beautiful…
I’m Just A Bus Driver
Well, not just… But, as of today, I’m officially authorized by the State of New York to transport students in large, yellow vehicles. Again. (I previously drove school busses for two different school districts more than fifteen years ago now!) Last fall, as I contemplated ways that I could feasibly bring in a little more…
2014: The Year of Fun Numbers
We are rounding out the two weeks on the calendar that we call “Birthday Season” here. All three of our girls were born within two weeks of each other. (Two weeks and a day during leap years.) Strangely, they also fall chronologically in age order: Kirstie’s first, then Julia, then Emma. It’s a fun, full,…
Infallible Trustworthiness
Yesterday, after reading a couple more chapters of the book of Hebrews with our two oldest boys, I was recounting to Jen some of what we had read and discussed. Julia, our seven-year-old was also in the room. From what we are reading, a common theme the author of Hebrews seems to be conveying is…
Content Creator
So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27 (AMP) In my life so far, I’ve always enjoyed creating. Whether it was a song, or a blog post here, or a book of those posts, or even a…
Tappin’ Time!
It’s almost time to start tapping our maple trees! March is just around the figurative corner. The days are getting a bit longer, the weather a bit warmer—right? It is, isn’t it?—and with all of that comes maple sugaring season! Last year was our first attempt at the art of maple syrup making. Much was…
Winter Olympics
The Winter Olympics are a big deal in the Campbell home. So much of a big deal that we even called up Time Warner Cable and purchased a television package so that we wouldn’t miss any part of it.1 Each of us has a different favorite, but we do watch pretty much every event. (Even…
Who’s Your Favorite President?
With today being Presidents’ Day, there has been some presidential talk in the Campbell home recently. Last night at dinner, in fact, one question asked of the children was, “Who is your favorite president?” The responses, which I clarified again this morning, were as follows: Cam, age 4 George Washington! (Said with staggering confidence!) Emma,…
Clearance Sale Event – “Church Book” for $4.99!
UPDATE: This sale has ended, but if you’d like to purchase the book, you can find it at Amazon.com Yesterday’s post, along with the several conversations about the church which I referenced having been party to in the recent past, have me thinking about the book I published on this subject.

Thoughts on Church Attendance
I’m not sure why, but it’s curious to me that the topic of church attendance has popped up a time or two in recent conversations. It’s sort of different every time, but all of the occasions have been cordial, courteous, and even understanding and affirming of the thoughts we have on how we are part…
