Last night my husband and I ate at our favorite Mexican restaurant.


We chatted and laughed as the colorful decor listened to our conversation.


When we were done exploring each other’s day over tortilla chips and queso, we walked to the counter to pay our bill. As the waitress took our payment she asked if we were on a date. I said, “Yes, a married date.”


We walked through the doors, full of attentive affection and love. 


Our attributes as a couple shined like the yellow chairs amidst the restaurant.


Godly attributes of a man should majorly impact his wife and others around him. 


Those godly attributes should entail:


  • Love that is found within the gold seams of a bible that is read by a husband under a glistening lamp.
  • Leadership that is drafted into prayer with his family  
  • Guidance that is architected into wise words with his wife and children
  • Protector of souls and warrior of hearts
  • Casting out a safety net for finances, provision, and trials
  • Disciple-like character that practices teaching, preaching, and friendship 
  • Yoke-like help that assists in duties of the mind 


A godly man cherishes his household and leads them like a shepherd towards the pen of peace. 


He is gracefully firm when disciplining his children and graces his wife with value. 


A Godly man besets the path that the family will travel, lightening the load of mental backpacks and clearing limbs of labor.


His attributes will lead his family with strength and glorify God. They will light upon his wife, family, and others around him.

Little Hat

Little Hat   There is a little cowboy hat that hangs in my blue Malibu.   It once hung in my dad’s Ford F-150 and many trucks to come.   It is worn, faded, but still “alive”.   Just like that little hat, my dad came home from many roof jobs; worn, faded, but “alive” with God’s strength.   He was happy to walk through the door to the O’Banion clan.   He was met with “love bombs” of hugs and kisses.   The little cowboy watched through the windshield at this bond.   It nested in the truck waiting for the next journey.   What will the next day bring?   Will it bring work, travel, church, joy, or sorrow?   When you look at a trivial object, that object is part of your “life ride”.   It’s here for a moment, then moths or rust destroy. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.   But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where mo...

  Little boys and little girls around the world can be heard calling for, "Daddy, father, dad!" I must of uttered dad a hundred times a day. “Dad, can you help me with a math problem?", “Dad, can you fix this and fix that?", “Dad! There's a spider in my room!" Dads' are the heads of the household. They are spiritual leaders and advice givers. They are comforters and protectors of clans throughout different villages. My dad was the king of our Irish clan. He was a good ole' southern gentleman, so he always slipped a "hun” in his statements. He was a wonderful Christian man, always giving glory to God. He was a sound and stable oak, never bent or shaken. Fear? He did not know fear. The only fear that was fashioned in his heart, was the fear of God. My dad stood his manly ground each day, battling earthly forces.  My dad was always a detail and knowledge encyclopedia. Many times he would give me advice on how to save money (I was a...
