If you had to write a fantastic story about a fascinating character who has superhero powers, which details would you include? The idea of this project started a few years ago on Facebook when people would engage in a 30 Days of Thanks project starting in November and carrying on thru Thanksgiving. They’d post something once per day that they were thankful for, like their family or their friends or their job or even their car. Normally, they'd quit after a couple days. Obviously, I didn't. One of my ideas was “30 Days of Dad”; an entire month filled with stories about my father, a former Navy SEAL in Vietnam who raised his family in Texas in peace, far from the riverbanks of the s ...

Education can only be understood from the perspective of worldviews. God’s Mandate for Biblical Education briefly examines the components of worldviews (particularly epistemology), and then presents the Biblical worldview of education.

This is followed by six necessary components of Christian education, i.e., Biblically directed: teachers, content, goals, standard, method, and motivations. Foundational presuppositions fo ...

Raising a child takes many things, patience, love, a kind heart, but most of all a sense of humor. Now multiply by 5 boys and you get a small idea of what went on in the Rutherford household in the early days of kid wrangling. Whether it is someone in a superhero cape trying to fly from high places, an epic butter battle spreading across the entire 1st level, or as the title suggests… a chance of rain in the kitchen, D.L. Rutherford has probably seen it all. The author insists that raising 5 boys, or rather, keeping them alive, was one of his greatest accomplishments. With the help of a very resourceful and patient wife, this family has weathered the many storms of sports injuries, re ...
