little princess1. “Family” (11 February) What questions should we ask about watching movies with our children? Far and away this post resonated with parents via social media. This post became part of the chapter on “Heartwarming” in my latest book When the Lights Go Down.

15th Annual Warner Bros and InStyle Golden Globe Awards After Party2. “Bump” (21 January) I am unabashedly pro-life. My post during the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision pointed out Hollywood’s hypocrisy celebrating actresses’ “baby bumps” while maintaining a pro-abortion stand.

keeping house4. “Housework” (4 November) Families everywhere seemed grateful for this post saying that chores in the home are important. The essay was the basis for a post at Emerging Scholars Network as well as a session in my adult Sunday school series “Vocation IS Ministry.”

gleaners5. “Vocation” (30 September) We rejoice with workers in their work, another in the series “Vocation IS Ministry.”

freddy-krueger6. “Horror” (13, 20 May) I was pleasantly surprised by the positive response folks had to a Christian view of the horror genre. The essay was written toward my latest book When the Lights Go Down and has been a foundation for my teaching of Gothic horror literature.

questions-contract7. “Questions” (4 March) “You can never be wrong asking a question.” The statement has been a mantra through throughout my teaching days. Questions prompt discussion rather than division.

oneness-brian8. “Oneness” (5, 12, 19 August) Before Ferguson, Brian Green and I planned/wrote a 3-part series on biblical racial reconciliation. The whole series generated well over 100 hits altogether not to mention responses from Brian’s church members at his website Cells of Life.

horsesoldier9. “Veterans” (11 November) I love the military as do many who read my posts. Memorial Day, July 4th, and Veterans Day will find my writing directed toward those who have and do sacrifice for American freedom.

Arthur F. Holmes10. “Holmes” (29 April) Arthur Holmes’ death prompted this essay celebrating the life of a Christian academic who influenced many–including this writer–in the field of faith-learning integration.
