This was a post from a friend of mine, Barry Steger, on Facebook this morning and I thought it expressed so well what a privilege it is to be a dad and a grandfather, especially during the Christmas season when we get to see those we love but not near! Arrived late, but safe, to […]
Dad’s Todo Today – On Your Knees, Soldier
Prayer is one of the most difficult areas for men to embrace as part of their faith. I also realize that some of you reading this might not be Christians and so prayer doesn't make sense. I get that. But, as a Christian man, I can't deny the power of prayer and it's rightful place […]
$%#* My Dad Says: Funny Yes But Innocent Fun?
[tweetmeme source= ‘dadpad’ only_single=false] I love social media. I love the potential it has to connect, inform, extend and expand relationships and influence in business, personal and ministry realms. In fact, I’ve spent a lot of time reading, watching and learning about it while I help others try to use it for more than sharing […]
No, We Haven’t Stopped Writing for the DadPad
I was recently asked if we stopped writing for the DadPad. We apologize for the “hoards” ***snicker*** of you that follow our little blog. I (Jeff) take full responsibility. It is the death knell of any blog to leave it dormant for nearly two months. Shame on us. Our apologies. OK…now that I’ve gotten that […]
Tears of a Warrior
[tweetmeme source= ‘dadpad’ only_single=false] It’s the rainy season. It may look warm and dry where you are, but take a closer look at the faces of parents with college-aged children and you’ll see what I mean.

Father not Fat-ter
[tweetmeme source= ‘dadpad’ only_single=false] I ran across another dad who recently lost 50 lbs and commented on a blog post that I wrote about why it’s important for dads to take care of themselves physically (see my post, The Weight of a Father). He found that post and shared with me how he had lost […]

When I was in Albany, GA last week, I had the chance to see a lot of great people who have a heart for the Lord and for reaching men/fathers. One of those is the father of the largest (that I know of anyway) family in America–the Duggar family, and one of the stars of […]

DadPad: Baseball, Board Games and Facebook
[tweetmeme source= ‘dadpad’ only_single=false] Ahhh, it’s baseball season. I love baseball. I don’t follow it nearly as much as I used to. When I was a kid, I used to play a game called Sports Illustrated baseball. A friend of mine from down the block would come over and we would play all weekend during […]
