Answers in Unlikely Places
It’s a fact that haunts me daily. I cannot escape it -- it is there, like a soreness that needs an analgesic rub. Pastors are expected to have all the answers. The simple statement of that fact alleviates some of the soreness, yet doesn’t erase it completely. The...

Signposts is very pleased to be sharing this guest post about Childhood Psoriasis by Megan Ancheta. Megan is a stay at home mom to two little girls (Kylie-7, Abbi-3) who are gluten, dairy, and mostly corn free. Due to psoriatic arthritis, spondylitis, and...
Miracles In the ICU- Defying the Odds Through an Aneurism and Stroke
This week has been a challenging one for some of us in the Signposts family. The following is a letter from my husband about his father, who had a stroke on Wednesday. I think that there are lessons to be learned here. Whether the patient is 57 years old, or 7 years...
Lickety Split Timer App- A Review
Friends, I am not a fan of the overuse of electronic devices. We don't have to have an app for everything. In our house we use timers a lot for various activities, and I never expected to need anything beyond the (extremely versatile) timer I keep in my pocket. In...
Hagar and your Special Needs Child
I’ll be forty next week. No, I’m not pandering after birthday wishes, but I can easily remember when I was a young man thinking that forty was old. Now that forty looms ever nearer, I don’t think that quite so much. I’m in a much different place than I anticipated...

Don’t Worry Mom- Even God’s Cooking Wasn’t Good Enough
I like to cook. I'm a little bit of a food snob. That's why it irks me when my culinary efforts are criticized. Today I found one of my children (who will remain nameless) flinging their dinner into the yard. It was really a very considerate act, because this food was...
Telling Time
My five year old son is learning to tell time. We practice with both digital and conventional clocks. You find mostly digital clocks in our house, because there seems to be a clock on every electric appliance you can think of. There is the microwave clock, the oven...
The Great Pearl
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. Matthew 13:45-46 I am a storyteller in a Godly Play classroom at my church. One of the things I love...
The Wedding Garment
In the book of Matthew, chapter 22, we find the parable of the wedding garment. A certain king prepares a wedding feast for the marriage of his son. While mingling with the guests, he notices a man who is not wearing a wedding garment. In the context of this story,...
Free Audiobook on Adoption
"The gospel of Jesus Christ—the good news that through Jesus we have been adopted as sons and daughters into God’s family—means that Christians ought to be at the forefront of the adoption of orphans in North America and around the world. Moore does not shy away from...
Spring Is Around The Corner
This has been a long winter. I live in a very cold place that has seen record amounts of snow. Before I had children I used to romanticize such winters, dreaming of frosted windows, bright stars, a roaring fire, snuggling with my man under warm covers. Now it feels...
I’m Just Trying To Be Helpful
How many times a day do I hear my 5 year old son say this? "I'm just trying to be helpful." I cringe at this phrase. What did he destroy now? Helpful means using his sister's new shirt to mop the floor after a spaghetti dinner. Helpful means making his siblings...
God has a plan
It'll be alright. The worst is behind you. He'll be OK. God has a plan. Heard those words before? Maybe you've even said them yourself. They are words meant to encourage. Words spoken when there seems to be nothing else to say. Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the...
My Communion Almond
If you have food allergies or intolerance in your family, you know how complicated ordinary events can become. I'm not going to get into the horror of birthday and Christmas parties. You just have to be prepared. I'll leave it at that. However, there was one event...
