My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out. Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc. Great guy, I'm happy for him. But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness. What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could. Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe. Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach. Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act. Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts. Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides. Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra. ----------------- When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers. Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

One of the many blessings of a large family is that my older daughters (who used to LOVE playing with dolls), now get to dress up their own little sister! They literally can't get enough of it!

MEN ONLY - would you rather be: 6' tall with $6K in the bank OR 5' 6" tall with $6M in the bank?

The Bible has the answer: A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools. Proverbs 26:3

They aren't protestors. They aren't demonstrators. They aren't even activists. They're 3rd world criminal thugs (mostly Islamic) who must be swiftly dealt with. Any media outlet who calls them anything else is complicit in their crimes.

I'd really appreciate it if the West could go ahead and get this world war with Islam over with by the time my kids grow up. Send them back 1,000 years while we build a future worth living in.

One of the cool things about social media is that it 100% confirms the Bible.

True statement.

When you start worrying about their picky eating at age 3, you're 2 ½ years too late.

These are the same kind of people that support open borders, who when presented with an immigrant to house in their own home, refuse 100% of the time.

Sorry, but Somalians DO NOT add to the social fabric of America. They literally come here with no intentions of assimilating into American society and culture in any meaningful way. They don't share our values, our ethics, our heritage, our culture, our law... nothing!

Little boys love BIG toys! The men operating these mighty machines probably started out like my 4-yr old, who LOVES digging and "moving earth" in our sand box.

As Christians, our security rests not in WHAT is going on around us, but rather WHO is reigning over us. The peace of Christ is not rooted in earthly things and circumstances.

when was the last time you heard a news story about a shooting at a homeschool? hint: they don't exist kids are all around safer at home, where they belong.

The comeback story for this child is going to be amazing! "My life literally started in a dumpster..."

Who else is old enough to remember square dancing in PE class back in elementary school? Those were the good ol' days!

Our Christian, homeschool life looks absolutely NOTHING like this dystopian family. Apple should have taken a page out of @chevrolet's Christmas commercial book. Why are most corporations so out of touch with good, wholesome family dynamics?
