Monday, April 28th, 2008Andrew, my oldest of 4 children, who by the way is getting married in a week, was in 7th grade. As with so many boys that age he decided that home work was an option. Despite the best attempts of teachers his mother and even his educator father, Andy continued to have missing homework assignments [...]
The Importance of Grandparents
Sunday, April 20th, 2008It was another busy morning in the life of the Strohm family. At that time in our lives my wife, four children and I moved out of our three bedroom home into a 5 bedroom one and added my wife Ellen’s parents and grandmother to the household.
This particular daybreak the house was filled with bodies [...]
The Three Legged Stool
Monday, March 31st, 2008I have been reading the book Prude by Carol Platt Liebau. It has been a real eye opener for me. As the father of three girls I have been angered at how a large portion of our culture has bombarded our girls with message after message telling them that only sad, unintelligent, ugly people keep [...]
Some things God Does Not Want Us To Know
Monday, March 24th, 2008Years ago when I would study a subject I would gather as many Scriptures on the subject as I could. I would then read and re-read those Scriptures until I could see a clear pattern or a clear Biblical instruction.
Here are some Scriptures on what God does not want us (or our children) to know.

Parenting Isn’t For Cowards
Sunday, November 4th, 2007As a school principal, I meet with parents weekly who talk to me about their difficulties in parenting. Boys getting into punching matches while dad is away on business, girls sneaking online to post swear words on their friend’s sites, children stealing items from stores, and the list goes on. I listen to parents of [...]
School and Routines
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007In counseling with parents whose families are suffering from lack of routines, I have observed that they often believe the circumstances that lead to the chaos are outside of their control. While life’s circumstances occasionally force us to put aside routines for a time, typically those circumstances are temporary. It is often within our power [...]
Non Punitive Parenting?
Saturday, September 8th, 2007I have noticed a rise in websites and discussion groups where it appears young parents are proclaiming they have come up with a superior way of raising their children. The difference between this group and a very similar group from the 60’s - this group is using a few Scriptures and the “grace” theology as [...]
