When my children were much younger I developed a habit that I soon jettisoned because, well, it was stupid. Whenever I went on a trip I would bring them back a candy bar or some junk food like twinkies. Not a great way to lead your children to appreciate a healthy diet!Children love junk food. […]
This week three days appear on the calendar worth noting. I am generally not one for special days, since the very practice of recognizing them as special again and again make them, well, less special. But this week I remember three days I hope you will pause to reflect on as well. The first was […]
Whew. What a week. Hannah finished her season last weekend. Her team went on a tear and ended up # 2 in the entire state in volleyball. She is 13th in the whole state in service aces. Not bad for a sophomore. Then we went to nationals and faced fierce teams from all over. The […]

Already looking forward to doing their camp next summer as I met a lot of wonderful students the […]
A few years ago a student from another seminary attended I conference where I spoke. During a break he asked me a question: “Dr. Reid, how do you deal with the fact that professors of theology or Greek/Hebrew look down on professors of missions or evangelism?” I kindly replied that he obviously did not attend […]
A few years ago I started the practice of meeting with a small group of students beyond my classes. I refused to do that for years because of a really dumb reason: there were far more students I wanted in a group than I could have, or it would no longer be a “small” […]
