At a recent visit of my parents’ house, I grabbed three boxes of “forgotten” items from my old bedroom closet (which is now my mother’s office) and decided to take them home and go through them. Of course, it’s not that I NEED more stuff at my house or have […]

“The Final Countdown” by John DiBiase
Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of taking part in the conspiracy that was a surprise baby shower for my wife, Amy – marking shower #3 (the first was in Nashville with our friends there and the second was with my family in NJ since my grandmother can’t travel […]
“Christian indie rock rawks!” by Adam Dawson
Over the years my music tastes have skewed away from CCM (contemporary Christian music) and mainstream music, and delved more into the realm of indie rock. It’s a pity really, because now I just think that radio singles are (with the exception of a few really good songs) rubbish. As […]
“You Don’t Have To Be Afraid” by J.M. Farro
When I was outside tending to my ducks, Lily and Larry, the other day, a hawk suddenly flew over our heads. The terror in my ducks’ eyes was apparent, and they stiffened and became paralyzed with fear. I happened to be standing right next to them at the time, so […]
“Cribs and Hospital Beds” by John DiBiase
The world of the pregnant woman is an ever-interesting world to be a part of. This past week, my parents had plans to come over and assist in assembling a brand new crib for our forthcoming bouncing baby boy. They arrived on time that evening, pizza in hand, about half […]
“The Boarding of the U14JFH” by John DiBiase
I know I’m not big on change. It’s obvious and I realize it’s something I’ve struggled with since the dawn of my own personal “time.” As we get closer and closer (and closer and closer) to pending parenthood — Amy may pop in about a month, actually — preparations are […]
“Jesus Freak” VS “Supernatural”
OK, so this won’t be the conventional blog you normally see here, but it’s one I’m curious what you old school CCM fans would say about. While at Purple Door Festival over the weekend, some friends and I got into a late night diner discussion over which dc Talk album was truly […]
Sanctus Real Gives Advice on Parenting
John DiBiase: Any advice for new fathers? Pete Provost: You gotta tell me! I can’t answer that one yet. Dan Gartley: Me neither. Matt Hammitt: Hold on! Two words. Nah, I’m just kidding. Goodness gracious! It’s so weird how self-taught parenthood is. It’s so crazy. Even with our first and second, it’s […]
“Think Like Jesus” by J.M. Farro
Before I began devoting myself to regularly studying the Scriptures, I believed that I had to accept every thought that popped into my head. I didn’t realize that I could reject wrong thoughts, and refuse to let them take root in my mind and heart. One of the Scriptures that […]
“Let There Be Wheat!” by Michael Weaver
Well, this is my first post here. I will start by saying that being a parent is a tough thing. It’s rewarding, but there’s a new challenge every day. My daughter, Avery, is 3 years old; a few weeks ago, it seemed she had gotten sick and no matter how […]
