  • My Take: Dumb Ways to Die

    This catchy and artsy music video will either make you laugh or make you a little creeped out, depending on your sense of humor.  I thought it was hilarious, especially the character who “sold both kidneys on the internet.” Would you believe that this is a public service announcement from the rail Metro in Melbourne,…

  • Free Photo Editing Resource

    If you’re like me, then you know enough about photo editing to use basic programs like iPhoto but other big programs like Photoshop scare the begeebees out of you.  You see, I want the versatility that Photoshop provides with the ease of use that iPhoto provides.  Plus, I don’t need 98% of the bells and…

  • Everyone’s a Kid

    I believe in eternity – that God created us to be in communion with Him forever. From a temporal perspective, our lifespans on earth are essentially a blip compared to eternal life. So humans on earth are all kids. We are simply growing up here on this earth until we die. Kids are full of…

  • The Most Misunderstood Concept about God

    Grace. I often ask groups of children when I teach them, “Will you go to heaven if you’re a good kid?”  And I usually get the same resounding “yes!” from the crowd. Many adults in the Church would answer the same way. This is a big problem in the Church today, and it starts in…

  • Why It Helps for Children’s Church to Be Fun

    Let me be clear: The message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ does not need a circus of pizazz to penetrate the heart of a child (or anyone for that matter).  The love and grace of Jesus stands fine on its own to regenerate the hearts of children. But it sure does help to present…

  • Captivating the Attention of Children

    Anyone can captivate the attention of a child – or a group of children. All it takes is a smile and a little energy in your face.  And those things come from a sincere heart to connect with the child/children. It helps to be able to perform some astonishing feat like a magic trick or…

    Book Release! Incredibly Bad Dad Jokes

    I have been writing down my original Dad jokes for several years now, but recently they dramatically increased.

    A Children’s Ministry Poem

    From the mouths of children come questions galore about heaven and angels and Satan and more. They speak what their hearts say without holding back, so the wonder of God is something they never lack. Oh God, who are you? Who inspires the minds of little ones many, so that they may find this Jesus…
