I didn’t get serious about my relationship with God until I was almost 40 years old. By then, my children were 12 and 15. There are times when I look back and desperately wish that I had raised my sons—from the time they were little–on Christian music, Christian books and […]

“The Strap-On Black Pillow” by Amy DiBiase
One of the scariest parts of coming to the realization that I am actually “with-child” … is how my once ballet-physique is beginning to dramatically change. Okay, so the truth is, it has been quite some time since I sported a ballet costume and wore my toe-shoes … but I […]
“You Can Make a Difference” by J.M. Farro
Just the other night, I was watching one of the greatest evangelists of our time talking about his intense desire to win souls for Christ, and how it inspired him to lead millions into the Kingdom of God. As I listened to this man’s testimony, I began feeling woefully inadequate […]
“Great-Grammy Pauline” by Amy DiBiase
Today, will be quite an exciting day I think … not just to be able to get together with my parents, brother, John, and my grandmother Pauline – but to be able to share the surprising news with my Grammy that she is going to be a great-grammy!!! Honestly, this […]
“A Life Forever Changed” by J.M. Farro
I can still remember the first time I heard the Lord speak to me through His Word, even though it was many years ago. My heart was in turmoil at the time—over troubling world events, and over the unsettling situations in my own household. As I thought about the future […]

I’m a bit new to the concept of frequent blogging, but as I’m venturing into these previously personally uncharted waters of pending parenthood, I’m finding there’s plenty to ponder and reflect on when it comes to this topic. (And while Amy continues to fall victim to nausea and an intense […]
“Attack of the Tickle-Toes Duck” by John DiBiase
If I might be completely honest, if you were to ask me if I would like to have children or would like to continue as just a duo with Amy for now (or trio if you count our darling guinea pig – and resident glutton – Indy), I would have […]
We Recommend: Falling Up, “Captiva”
What does Nevertheless, Capital Lights, Delirious?, and Peter Furler all have in common? They all exited the music scene in 2009. However, while all of those losses were significant, the news that Falling Up (one of my most favorite bands) had disbanded was truly demoralizing. Their all-time best album will always be […]
“More To This Life” by Amy DiBiase
It is amazing how we can go through our lives, that mainly consist of repetitious acts of work, eating, sleep, and relaxation with our spouse … With the occasional addition of a ”moment” from God that breaks through all the mundane monotony and reminds us what this life is all […]
“It’s His Fault!” by John DiBiase
Tonight was my first experience accompanying my wife… maternity clothes shopping! What’s kind of funny to note is, I was supposed to be her sole accompaniment for this task. Luckily for both of us, another couple was able to join us, so the ladies went off on a quest to find […]
