Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

My children have influenced me to watch Dr. Who. This goes to show that you must be careful who your children are—they will influence you to do things you would never have done otherwise. Actually, I remember Dr. Who from my childhood. I ate, drank, and slept science fiction while growing up in the 60’s […]

My fourth son, Jory, stole the family show this week. Jory is twelve-years-old, almost 13. He is in the clear, fresh, beautiful autumn of childhood before the winter years of his “teenagedom” hit.

Yesterday three of my kids were with me at the BYU library. I was there to read a book I couldn’t find anywhere else. I had to read it there because, not being a student, I don’t have check-out privileges. I wondered how long my kids would let me read before they overwhelmed me with […]

Her father—picture the farmer in the painting “American Gothic”—must have grunted in disappointment at the birth of each child because he needed boys to help run his farm. Being an innovative man Grandpa learned […]

This means I want them to be honest (even when no one is looking), responsible, kind, intelligent, courageous, and sexually pure. In this blog post I will be concentrating on sexual purity […]

I am a man who is attracted to women. It’s a fact. I admit it. All day, every day I am aware of the female forms around me. I may be driving down Main street and see someone walking on the sidewalk. Without even thinking I become aware if the figure is feminine or not. […]

I am the father of eight children. By today’s standards that is a lot. When people hear how many children I have they often ask me how I do it. That isn’t an easy question to answer. What I don’t tell them is I don’t know how I do it. I didn’t plan on having […]
