Boredom

Good morning, Five Minute Families. We are going to do a two-part series about boredom. That’s right. Boredom. Boring. Bored. Now, we aren’t talking about the eight-year-old who isn’t allowed to be on his devices for the day so he goes around saying he is bored. We are going to talk about a bored family,… Continue Reading

Individual Serving

Good morning, Five Minute Families. Our church just had a missions Sunday. Kim and I were blessed to come share about God’s work here at Clear View Retreat.

Coaching Parents

Good morning, Five Minute Families! Our household has now had someone sick for over ten days. Unfortunately, a couple of us were worse than the others and recovery has been slow. Healing takes time.

Whether the Weather

Good morning, Five Minute Families! The sun is shining as we plan out what to share with you today. The sun streaming in my windows makes me smile. It doesn’t have to be warm outside, and I don’t have to have the sun on me to feel better. Simply seeing it improves my mood. You… Continue Reading
