Posted by: | Comments
Something we as parents don’t like to face is the possibility that our child is overweight. Maybe we struggled with being overweight as a child and we just don’t think it’s that big of a deal.
Maybe your child isn’t classified as obese, but you want to find out if being a little overweight is causing them to be teased at school. You may have also noticed that they’re starting to exhibit a few health issues that could be related. You should bring all your concerns to your pediatrician, but I have a few tips to help you out.

Knowing What You Want — Just A Plain Cup of Coffee, Please!
Posted by: | Comments
Through the years, I have discovered two important facets of husbandship that has stood me in good stead for many years: a vigorous nod of the head and a rhapsodic “Yes, dear.” Flowers don’t hurt either.
When our recent visit in Ohio concluded, we headed for the airport. I do not mind traveling, but my least favorite mode is the airplane. The reason being, of course, is the airport itself.
In my opinion, someone devised the modern airport to intimidate the average traveler. Arriving at the airport, we immediately headed for the ticket counter where we received our boarding passes. Then we surrendered our luggage to the personnel behind the counter, not knowing if we would ever see that same luggage again in our lifetime. Read More→
How to Get Facebook Ads Approved Quickly
Posted by: | Comments
The rules for advertising inside Facebook Ads change regularly and now the common theme seems to be that people are struggling to get their ads approved.

● First of all, make sure you are advertising in line with the Facebook Terms of Service. You’d be surprised at how often a simple change of wording or an image can make the difference. All of a sudden, your ad is approved! If your image is too bold, you may run into trouble. Read my post “Too much skin for Facebook Ads” for tips. Read More→
A Question to Really Bug Us!
Posted by: | Comments
The other day I listened to an audio CD and the publisher of Success Magazine asked this question which really bugged me and might bug you too. So before I share it with you may I with as much British politeness as I can muster ask you to stop what you are doing and give me your full attention for about 2 minutes. Would that be ok – I mean your full attention – don’t plan the kids lunch for tomorrow, what you are going to say to the church committee tonight, or how you are going to deal with the pressure your mother-in-law is exerting on your spouse right now!! No I mean your full attention – thank you! Read More→My Mother Was Wrong About Spinach
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the great joys of getting older, and there is at least one joy involved in this grueling process, is discovering that you were right all the time. I try not to boast here because, well, that’s just the kind of person I am. And, I’m not going to make a list of all of the things I was “right” about. No sense in boasting, but I just can’t resist one.
Some of these things centered on my relationship with my mother. One advantage a mother has over her children is that sense of authority and being right all the time. Looking back, I can see that she was not right all the time.
As a young person, my mother told me things I have since learned not to be true. For example:
- It takes more than clean underwear to survive an accident.
- The boogieman under my bed does not exist… any more.
- None of my friends wants to jump off a bridge.
- I will grow up even if I don’t clean up my plate.
- And, it’s almost impossible to behave yourself and have a good time simultaneously. Read More→
Facebook Targeting by Connections
Posted by: | CommentsConnection targeting on Facebook allows you to advertise directly to those connected to your page, group, app or event. Connection targeting even allows you to target those connected to one type of content (e.g. your app) but not another (e.g. your page). This allows for highly-targeted, individualized advertising.
When choosing an external url for your ad, you only have the option of targeting users who are connected to your page, app or event, or who are not connected.
However if your landing page is your fan page, you have some additional options: Read More→
How Much Do Facebook Ads cost?
Posted by: | CommentsLots of people are afraid that Facebook ads will cost way too much. They think paid advertising on Facebook will blow their budget. But, that doesn’t have to be the case. You can advertise on Facebook for $2 a day if you set it up right.
You get to choose how much you want to pay for your ads each day. Some of our clients spend $5000 per day. Others spend $20 per day. Most are somewhere in between. Read More→
A Muse on Music
Posted by: | CommentsIt was an Easter Sunday morning and I sat in church. The church was packed, hundreds had come out and as I sat there I listened to the 10 piece brass band, 20 bell ringers and 50 choir members giving it “their all”. I had many thoughts that morning. I thought of those I loved far away on this Easter morning. I thought how Easter week was a reflection of the journey of our lives from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the pain of the cross and the soaring sensation of the resurrection. Read More→
My Wing-Ding-A-Do at the Wing House
Posted by: | CommentsIt is not that ignorance is so bad; it is just so inconvenient. Case in point. A while back, I found in the mail coupons for two free nights in Daytona Beach.
“Look, my dear,” I squealed, with delight to my wife, “We have two free nights in Daytona Beach.” Immediately we checked our calendars and selected a time when we could take advantage of our windfall, without running into all those spring-breakers at the beach.
Personally, I am not too crazy about Daytona Beach. I am crazy about free. Consulting the parsonage exchequer, we could afford free. Upon leaving the house, all I could do was hum a tune, “Two Whole Nights at the Beach …” Before I finished, my wife suggested I quit humming.
Of course, with her suggestions always comes the phrase, “And if you don’t I’ll …” Well, you know the rest. I took her suggestion, but I was humming on the inside. Read More→
