When taking a long trip, a lot of people watch DVDs. Well today, Trace Embry of Shepherd’s Hill Academy agrees, kind of…

Nuts or the Beach

You know… I don’t usually suggest that our kids watch DVDs in the car. As a rule, I preach against it.

Nuts or the Beach

But on long trips, the right exception could be a good idea. The other day, my wife and I took our daughter and her friend to the beach. It was about an eight-hour trip. We let the two of them watch a Christian standup comedian. God as my witness… the laughing went on for hours straight. It could have driven me nuts, instead – it got me to the beach.

Just knowing my 16-year-old girl and her friend were having the time of their lives enjoying a vessel of God was a great blessing to me and to them.
