A Real Church

by John Bagwell on March 31, 2013 · 0 comments

What do you think of when you hear someone talk about church? I’m sure there are those reading this that will say a local church is a local body of believers and part of the larger church which is the bride of Christ. This is true, but is it really what you think of when [...]

Moms vs Dads

by John Bagwell on March 17, 2013 · 0 comments

I was reminded earlier of the different roles moms and dads have in a child’s life as I thought about a former comedian who noted this particular difference: “A father will take his son out to a baseball field, teach him to hold a bat, teach him to catch with a glove, teach him how [...]

January 22, 1973

I’m taking off work this Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013. You see, my youngest daughter was born on January 22nd, and each year, with each of my daughters, I take them on a day-long father-daughter date. Together we choose where to go, what to do, and I take them shopping for a new dress, a new [...]

The Little Things

by John Bagwell on December 22, 2012 · 0 comments

“Little things.” These words have been used in such phrases as: “It’s the little things that matter”; “Little things mean a lot.” We’ve also heard that “It’s the small details that matter”; and “There are no small/little jobs.” While we understand the meaning behind these words because they ring true, most men want to slay [...]

Understanding the Value of Understanding

by John Bagwell on September 29, 2012 · 0 comments

It’s tough to be a man. Not that women have it easier than men, but that the natural tendencies of men tend to bring out contradictions between intentions and results. For example: a wife comes to her husband in tears about how someone at the office has been treating her, and the husband, wanting to [...]

The Game of Life and a Fork in the Road

by John Bagwell on September 22, 2012 · 0 comments

Last night we had family game night and played the game of LIFE. While not going into all the details of the game itself, there are at least two points in the game where a fork in the road appears. Go one way, and one thing will happen. Go another way, and another thing will [...]

Ask

Our house has recently become a way station for lizards. You know, the small Anole type lizards you see scurrying around outside? Well now we have them in our house. What is more, these little green travelers are here by invitation. You see, my daughter loves catching them, but keeping them healthy and alive can [...]

Run, Jump, Fly, Land, Repeat.

The 30th Olympic Games have finally kicked off, but a single word of the introduction during the opening ceremony reverberated in my mind. Over the coming competitions we will see athletes rise to the top of the podium to claim Olympic gold, while so many others look on in disappointment and defeat. We will hear [...]

The Marking Wall

by John Bagwell on July 14, 2012 · 0 comments

Maybe you have one, and maybe you don’t, but we all know what a marking wall is. A marking wall is a place in some houses where, once a year on their child’s birthday, they line them up and “mark” how tall they are at that age. My wife and I were talking about how [...]

Conversation for Starters

by John Bagwell on June 23, 2012 · 0 comments

Had a conversation with a co-worker on Friday a few hours before the day was over. I simply asked a question and now I’ll ask it to you: Can you name at least 10 separate brands of beer? My coworker immediately launched into a list that within 30 seconds encompassed some names I was familiar [...]
