One of my ultimate favorite movies growing up was "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". What a great idea! Dad builds machine, machine shrinks kids, world gets a bit bigger real quick.
We live out our faith as if Rick Moranis has shrunk us to the size of ghost ants and our big problems, pre-shrink, just got 1000x bigger!
Are you tired of feeling shrunk in the face of growing problems? Well, my daughter was used today to teach me a little lesson on how big our problems really are. Want some perspective? ...
This is our family blog. We want to share with you all God teaches us about parenting by being the "Father2HisChild". We pray that as God leads us in parenting our family, He will also lead us by being the Parent we so desperately need in our family of faith. Enjoy and feel free to comment with your stories, encouragements, and insights into being the Called of God in parenting.

Defeating the Disease
It has been a while since I have written on this site. The busy life of a father of three can attribute to that. Maybe even my staleness of being a father. For the last couple months it has felt as if I have been treading water. Ever feel like that? Well this last week has really put things into perspective for me.
Imagine one day you are told that you can't go home... not even to say good bye. You are told that going home could cause the death of one of your children. Think about that for a minute. What is going through your mind? Maybe your one that says... easy... anything for my children. Maybe your one who is broken and can't take the news. Wherever you fall, the response I imagine would not be one that comes lightly for any loving and caring parent. Well that's what happened to me this last week. The story is a bit shocking for me to tell, but even more shocking is what God revealed to me today in service. Will you join me as I share my struggle with you?
