“Dad, I liked it better when you didn’t have an IPhone.” Heard these words from my oldest son several years ago. It was a wake up call and a reminder that everything I do as a parent is about teaching and proclaiming a message of what is valuable. And so much about faith and life is more CAUGHT than TAUGHT, so we must be ENGAGED. I loved this list that Carey Long shared with our church today.
