Failing as the spiritual head of my household

5 June 2011

4 Comments

Part of my role as a Christian dad and husband is to be the spiritual head of our household, a role I feel I am failing in. It’s been months since my wife has had the opportunity to sit in the sanctuary and worship on a Sunday morning, and I am so busy running around [...]

An Outward Symbol of Faith

5 January 2011

4 Comments

I used to think that a Muslim woman wearing a hijab was something negative. I saw it as oppressive and demeaning. I saw it as something her religion or male relative/husband made her do, not something she chose of her own free will. Then I met some Muslim women and chatted with them about this [...]

I have a few new years posts in the works, on resolutions, looking forward and back sort of things, but I think this is more important. In 2011 I am going to focus on making Christ central in my life. Now that might sound contrived or cheesy, but it is something I really need to [...]

Things I had been struggling with and stressing about. (I know it’s a longish post, but I didn’t want to split it [...]

Flirting with Catholicism

2 May 2010

20 Comments

I’ve been flirting with the idea of converting to Catholicism. (Converting doesn’t seem like the right word though, since it is still Christianity, just not Protestantism.) The key point holding me back: I want to be a pastor, and the Roman Catholic Church does not allow married men to become priests. (A concept I understand [...]

I wanted to relate my post on Church Fragmentation to being a Dad, since that is the other subject that is always on my mind. Right now, I’m a big fan of the Catholic Church (Which seems weird considering all the shit they are going through right now). My wife wrote about our experience last [...]
