Practicing Parents

Raising Kids in the Christian Faith

Posted on June 7, 2017 by practicingfamilies2013 • Leave a comment

by Keeva Kase I am often amazed at the spiritual insight of my nearly four-year-old son. On a recent trip to the store, Ketch asked me, “Dad, what is most important in life?” This is not like the indefatigable “why?” after each level of explanation of reasons that a car needs gas or the sky … Continue reading →

Do You Know Him?

When we moved into our house this past July, just four months ago, the previous owners left us so many surprises…like REALLY GOOD surprises.  A lawn mower.  A wheelbarrow.  Stand alone storage cabinets.  Mid-century modern shelves.  A cozy vintage chair and footrest.  Tools and a work bench in the garage.  Even a Star Wars collectible … Continue reading →

Knowing God

I think I am parenting “the mayoar” (spelling used by my first grader).  Whenever we find ourselves in public settings, he feels the need to work the room, greet folks, share information and schmooze.  Sometimes these tendencies are endearing and “cute”.  Other moments, I feel my cheeks turning a strong shade of pink wishing I … Continue reading →

From the backseat, my five-year-old asked, slowly, “Mommy, is ‘T’ the first number for God?” It took me a minute, but I figured out he was trying to spell. “No, baby,” I told him, “the letters for God are g-o-d.” He was fidgeting with his hands, I could tell, but I was driving and didn’t … Continue reading →

Bible Study, Preschool Style

One day, I saw my son pick up a rock and hurl it in the direction of a neighbor friend. Horrified, I called him over and asked him what he was doing. He replied, “I was being David.” You see, there’s this problem I have with the Bible and children. Most of it’s not for … Continue reading →

Ask Your Kids About Resurrection

Posted on April 1, 2013 by practicingfamilies2013 • Leave a comment

This year’s Easter sermon was harder than usual to write. Besides the normal self-imposed pressure to write the best sermon ever for the biggest church holiday of the year, I really had to examine the meaning of the resurrection again. Does this happen to you, parents? There are some years when the major concepts of … Continue reading →
