A Post Mother's Day Message for Dads - JackieBledsoe.com - Growing Family Leaders

Yesterday, the word of the day was “mother.”  And rightfully so, as the one day each year dedicated to loving on, and sharing appreciation for mom, mother, ma, momma, big mama grandma, and so on, was celebrated.

A quick scan of my Facebook news feed was filled with Mother’s Day love and messages.  It probably trended on Twitter, dominated pins on Pinterest, and was captured on Instagram.  Now it is the day after.  Will all that love end?  It shouldn’t, and I have a call to dads to keep it going.

Why you should have life and family goals - JackieBledsoe.com - Growing Family Leaders

One of my favorite bible verses says “where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV).  What that verse says is without being able to see where you are going, you will have no life.  Your life and family goals are the vision for your life and family.  Families who set life goals will be full of life, those who don’t will not.« Continue »

What is Married Life Really Like? - JackieBledsoe.com - Growing Family Leaders

With nearly 12 years of marriage life, I have a real appreciation of marriage.  Although, before marrying my wife, I never dreamed I would get married.  I am happy to be living this married life and enjoying all of it’s benefits.« Continue »

After playing and witnessing my share of at-home newlywed games, I know it is not that easy.  The newlywed game brings plenty of fun and laughter.  But it is a humbling reality check of how well you know your spouse.« Continue »

Love can make you do things you never thought you would do.  It can drive you to accomplish things you never thought possible. It can also convince you to do some really dumb stuff.  Some say, “Love makes the world go round.”« Continue »
