Continuing the series from the last week of July, we’ll been taking a trip down Memory Lane each Thursday in August! I will be posting some of my favorite stories ever published here. Some were taken from books (like today’s) and others have only been published online thus far. There are some funny, some sad,…

Misdiagnoses [Memory Lane]
This week we’ve been taking a trip down Memory Lane! Each day this week I’ve been posting one of five of my favorite stories ever published here. Some are taken from books I’ve published and others (like today’s) have only been published online thus far. These are some funny, some sad, some heart-warming moments from…
Messes
It’s funny… I’m really not OK with messes. But, I have kids. Several. (And they are all really good at making messes!) Sometimes—after I am able to calm myself down a bit—it makes me smile just to think what a sense of humor God has. He, being all-knowing, must know that I am fairly particular…
Our Experience at the Hill Cumorah Pageant
“You’re all sinners! You are an abomination to God!!” These words were angrily spit at the thousands of people peacefully passing through the entrance to the Hill Cumorah Pageant’s last showing for 2013—an event which was attended by this writer and his wife. Friends of ours participated in the Pageant this year. They played various…
Jen
Yesterday was not a great day. There was not any one particular reason for it being “not great”; or maybe there are too many to bother with detailed listing. After all the children were in their beds, I grabbed a book and collapsed in my own bed, allowing the story to distract my mind and…
House-i-versary: Ten!
April 25th is the day that we became home owners. The year was precisely one decade ago: 2003. Ten years of mortgage payments, tax payments, home owner’s insurance payments, home improvement and maintenance projects and cost… Yippee! 🙂 But, it is still a fun day to celebrate. This home is the only one that four…
The Case of the Missing iPhone
The phone rang Sunday afternoon. As soon as it did, I remembered that I had left the handset somewhere other than where it was supposed to be. After a brief search, I located it and saw the call was from my parents home, so I clicked the TALK button. “Hello!” I said with sing-songy happiness….
Growing Up
We here at the Campbell home are experiencing the winds of change. I think perhaps we have been for quite a while now, but I’ve been noticing it again lately. Life moves quickly. In some ways, too quickly. For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. —Ecclesiastes 3:1 Yeah. That’s…
Christianity, or Jesus? (Aren’t They the Same?)
Our family is currently making our way through the book of Luke together. We’re taking our time, but I do enjoy reading in larger chunks, so we will often read what might be the subject of an entire series of sermons in one sitting. Tonight, we read through the fifteenth chapter: the three stories of…
Please and Thank You
One thing that our son Cameron is good at is common courtesies. He’s very good at remembering to say “please”, and he’s nearly flawless with “thank you”, and he’s famous for his, “Wehcm.” (That’s his version of “you’re welcome”, said quickly with an emphasis on the harder “m” sound to end the word.) Not sure…
