How to Escape Materialism and Find Happiness I struggle with materialism but these are some good tips I often employ. I don’t think finding happiness should really be the goal of life, but I still like this post.

I Don’t Want My Children To Be Happy This pretty much explains EXACTLY how I feel about why happiness is not the goal, not for me and not for my kids.

From a Father’s Perspective This is our worship pastor, who recently decided to adopt.  Praise God.  Adoption is ON my heart, y’all.  And the heart of God.

The Email I Don’t Know How To Answer As usual, Kristen’s posts know right where to poke me.  How can we live with so many blessings, knowing there are people starving and suffering?

Embrace Your Authenticity While I do believe we ought to live for God and not for ourselves, He has made us unique and embracing our uniqueness absolutely leads to good things. 

Is It Unbiblical for Moms to Work Full-time Outside The Home? I love John Piper, but he says this should be discouraged and I don’t agree with him.  I don’t always agree with Matthew Paul Turner but on this one I think his post is pretty much right.  It pains me greatly to see the guilt-heaping and divisivness this discussion causes in the body of Christ. (I’m not endorsing the commenters, only the post.)

$50/Week x 45 Years = $1Million Never thought you could really be a millionaire? Check out the math on investing for retirement and why you should be doing it. I may be wanting to use my money for the Lord to help others, but I’m still in favor of managing it wisely.
