Last weekend contained my son’s big day, his third birthday, so as part of his celebration we took him to a movie. There aren’t a lot of kid movies out right now, but he’d been captured by the images of The Tale of Despereaux he’d seen, so we thought we’d check it out.
I thought it [...]

So this is a little different than my average column for this series, but this story is definitely making the rounds and the different angles I hear make it an interesting story on pop culture.
So what do you think about the girls’ basketball game where Covenant beat Dallas Academy 100-0?
Is this another example of a [...]

It seems there’s always a lot of controversy surrounding Christian artists who “cross over” or who record secular music.
I recently ran across a couple of intersting music videos by Christian artists. In this video, Reliant K, sings the popular Christmas song, Sleigh Ride. It’s kind of a fun video, but what’s your reaction? What do [...]

As our technology continues to expand we have been connected in ways never before imagined. We have at our fingertips new people and information. Along with all these new possibilities come things that scare the bejeezers out of parents.
Yes my child can view tons of great stuff for school reports online, but they may also [...]
Reality television isn’t a new phenomenon. That’s obvious. Big families aren’t new either. In fact, sometimes they seems like a relic of the past.
What’s interesting though is seeing the two combined. “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” is a popular series on TLC and apparently it was popular enough that they decided to add another to [...]
I probably shouldn’t post on something I haven’t seen yet, but with it coming out this Friday, I thought I’d take advantage of the moment. Fireproof is the latest offering by the makers of Facing the Giants, and also the latest in a trend I’ve noticed- high quality Christian media and movies.
