Talking to kids about sex – Part IV
I think I started the third talk about sex with an old story/legend about a man in the early 1900’s whose Model “T” had died on the side of the road. A stranger pulled alongside and offered some advice. The stuck driver was reluctant and argued, claiming to know a lot about cars. The good…Continue reading Talking to kids about sex – Part IV
Talking with kids about sex – Part III
Year 2 of the training The second year was the Human Sex ed. Class as we normally think of it. I actually drew out the diagrams of the male and female sex organs and talked first about the way they accomplish the reproduction part of sex. (as they used to say in “Silver Streak”… “What…Continue reading Talking with kids about sex – Part III

If you have not read part 1 yet, I recommend https://chrismlegg.com/2011/07/03/talking-to-kids-about-sex-part-i/ I really think that somewhere around age 11ish is the perfect age to tell our kids about sex. At this point, I think they are likely to be prepared to have the conversation somewhat and…Continue reading Talking with Kids about Sex Part II

Talking to Kids about Sex Part I
Talking to Kids About Sex Part I I married a girl who grew up in the city… with no guns in the house. Naturally, she was concerned about us having guns in our house, especially when we began to have children. So, I called my father and asked him about it. It’s ok, don’t worry……Continue reading Talking to Kids about Sex Part I
Marriage and Family Counseling in Tyler, Texas
I tend to think that most of us need, or could at least really be helped by, counseling at some point. And though I imagine that it did not exist in just the same form as we think of it now, the most common “counsel” that wise King Solomon gave was actually to seek counsel! …Continue reading Marriage and Family Counseling in Tyler, Texas
The Story of the "8 Cow Wife"
Once I heard a story preached that I think makes some great points about our roles as men in our families, and especially our marriages. Honestly, I am dubious as to its veracity, accuracy, or at least its specifics, but whether based on history or not, it preaches well even as a parable. Here it…Continue reading The Story of the "8 Cow Wife"
The Lonely Dragon – Part II
Living in the cave seemed a little safer. But it wasn’t really as safe as she thought. Over the next few years, she had suitors, knights, kings, and princes, come find her in her cave. Though she was intrigued by some of them, she also didn’t understand them and something in her didn’t believe any…Continue reading The Lonely Dragon – Part II
The Lonely Dragon – the story of a woman who fights against what she really wants (part I)
The Lonely Dragon The story of a woman who fights against what she really wants. Note: this is my first shot and it is almost stream-of-consciousness with very little filtering. Please offer your feedback. Once upon a time there was a beautiful little princess. She was very sweet and gentle and very clever. She was…Continue reading The Lonely Dragon – the story of a woman who fights against what she really wants (part I)

In order to afford missing counseling during that…Continue reading Summer Study 2011
Parenting is Discipleship – short article
“The most important thing that a father can do for his children is to love their mother.” Rev. Theodore Hesburgh Parenting is fundamentally discipleship… intense, daily, unrelenting, often unappreciated discipleship. They relate to one another in the same way that an ultra-marathon is a type of footrace. Discipleship, then, is fundamentally about replicating oneself. Paul…Continue reading Parenting is Discipleship – short article
Two Kinds of Men
I used to love to read Westerns when I was a young man and I still do. Now, I realize that part of the reason is that there is a representation of life, purpose, right and wrong, and especially masculinity that is simple (meaning “not unnecessarily complex” rather than “foolish”) and straightforward. Not a lot…Continue reading Two Kinds of Men
Great Woman Speaker!
This is one of my favorite speakers (and people) ever. You need to book her to come speak to your people before she becomes too famous and expensive for you to afford her. I’m not kidding. Ginger, can we write a book together soon? http://www.gingerciminello.com/

A website for our Wives
http://www.time-warp-wife.blogspot.com/ This is a blog for women that I was introduced to while teaching at a MOPS (Mothers Of PreSchoolers) group this morning. Just as the Phalanx is a biblical and not -politically correct perspective on men coming alongside one another and honestly learning to be servent leaders and MEN, this website seems to take…Continue reading A website for our Wives
