The Legal Distinctions Between “Sole Custody” Versus “Shared Parenting”

For many parents contemplating a divorce or dissolution of their marriage, a primary concern is which parent shall have “custody” of the child or children of the marriage.  I shall begin the article by addressing the differences between the two parenting systems in Ohio – “sole custody” and “shared parenting”. The parents have different names or titles:  In a situation where one parent has “sole custody” of the child/children, that parent is designated as the “residential parent and legal cus

Whale Watching On Freedom III

After much deliberation, we decided to go on our whale watching tour with Freedom III , a reasonably new vessel that is already fast gaining a reputation as the best in the fleet of whale watching tours on offer. We were attracted by the extra time they offered out with the whales, the more personalised, smaller group they take and the great reviews we’d heard about the food! And we were not disappointed. I’ve always wanted to go whale watching so this was quite an exciting day for me.  A

Truths That Has Given Me Passion, Comfort and Joy

In the years after my conversion I had the tremendous privilege of being taught early the great doctrines of the faith. Doctrines, precepts and Bible truth that an average church goer today would not know until, by God’s providence, learns of it late in life.These truths have been a great comfort to me. I have learned early on that promises of Scripture can do little if those promises are not realized to be found on the foundation of the truth of Scripture, the nature of God, the eternal holine

Group Rules, Walking Off, Suffering, and Your Career

When I was growing up I lived a few doors down from a very observant Catholic family that had strong opinions about what is right and what is wrong.  There was a son around my age, who I liked to play with now and then, but his parents eventually banned me from fraternizing with him.  The reason was that, after being warned by his parents a few times not to do so, I forgot and shouted “Jesus Christ!” during some play episode.  The first time I had done this, I had received a very stern lecture a

Did President Obama Play the God Card?

The continual scorched earth policy used on President Obama continues.  In a phone conference with multi-denominational  religious leaders Mr. Obama told listeners: “I know there’s been a lot of misinformation in this debate, and there are some folks out there who are frankly bearing false witness … [F]abrications…have been put out there to stop people from meeting a core moral and ethical obligation that we look out for one another … that I am my brother’s keeper, my sister’s keeper, an

“Reading the Bible Missionally”: Interacting with Michael J. Gorman, Joel B. Green, Christopher J. Wright, and the GOCN projects thoughts on…

Lately I’ve been really engaged by a few people who’ve been working out what a missional hermeneutic (ie reading the bible through the lens of mission) would look like. They are: Michael J. Gorman in his recent series of posts on “ Missional Hermeneutics ” at his blogsite; Joel Greens thoughts in his book “ Seized by Truth: Reading the Bible as Scripture ” regarding the connection of the formation of the church with her reading of Scripture; Christopher J Wright’s thoughts in his book “The Miss

40 Minutes of Religion

“this call from many different denominations and faiths” “bearing false witness” “I want to repeat it so that every member of your congregations understands” “core ethical and moral obligation” “I am my brother’s keeper and my sister’s keeper” “speak the truth”. “Time and again, men and women of faith have helped to show us what’s possible when we’re guided by our hopes and not our fears” “the way that our religious faith instructs us” “God bless you.” These are phrases you might expect to hear in a church service, however these were the troubling words spoken by President Obama in his address ” 40 Minutes for Health Reform .” They are troubling not because a US President spoke them, nor because they were used to push for health care reform. What troubles me is the US President who spoke them when speaking to a group of Christians for health care reform
