Love Notes

My beloved Kathilynn, It’s been twenty years now since God had mercy on me and showed me how much I was loved, forever changing the path I would walk the rest of my days.  I still remember the moment my eyes rested upon you.  That first smile that sill makes my heart race.  The amazing smile that makes the butterflies...

Survive Subtlety with Simplicity

Jul 18, 10 Survive Subtlety with Simplicity

Posted by Jaime Buckley in Point of View

All of us have ‘low’ moments in our lives. The times when you may feel that all is lost, or perhaps you have failed someone you love or care for deeply. It can be a damning experience if we aren’t careful, because it seems to be human nature to brand ourselves through a clouded filter of life and...

What Crazy Clips Have You Caught?

I love talking with my little children, especially Simon.  In fact, most people we know love talking with our 3 year old, because it’s always a treat, it’s always off the wall and unexpected and it’s always funny. Truth be known, I have wanted to start making movies of Simon for work, mainly because he’s so...

Mothers Day

What did you do for your mother on Mothers Day? I know I should try and say something profound, maybe something pithy, but I’m at a loss. My mom died in 2006 in a car accident. My mother in law gets bombarded with cards made from my children.  Kathi doesn’t give a fat jockey about the holiday (she can’t stand most...

Dear Children, The world is filled with people who have different views than you do. Yes, you may know this, but it’s wise to stop and ponder this subject in depth. I promise you that a close examination will prevent many heartaches and help you understand yourself as well as those around you. Friends, family, a love, a...

Holy Hannah My 3 Yr Old Can WHINE!

Feb 22, 10 Holy Hannah My 3 Yr Old Can WHINE!

Posted by Jaime Buckley in Family, Fatherhood, Parenting

Anyone who knows my three year old Simon adores him. There’s no reason not to. He’s funny, wired and dangerously smart. His recall and comprehension levels are off the charts. Good thing is, he has a great heart: loves his family, loves people, obeys his father. Any parent knows God has a marvelous sense of humor. We get...

Your mother, my beloved.

Dear Children, I’m a strict parent. I know it’s not a secret and that will not change. Each family member has duties, responsibilities and rules to follow so we can achieve and maintain our happy little home. Doesn’t always work, I know, but you have all seen that it works far more than not. Your mother and I love...

Rights of a Child: Unconditional Love

I have been talking about love as a right a child should expect from a parent. In the previous article, principle based love was mentioned, to which a reader connected to ‘unconditional love’. I agree. What conflicts in my mind however (and this is only my  opinion here, BTW) is the misunderstood application of...

Rights of a Child: Love (Part 2)

Yesterday I talked about different types of love and about confronting my own children and Sunday School class about my feelings towards them. In all cases, they knew without doubt that I loved them. Not just my own children, but the kids I teach. I believe Love is the foundation of being a parent. Yet we have bad examples around us...

Rights of a Child: Love

The basic foundation principle of a parent, at least in my own mind, should be love. Now love is actually a big subject, especially when the world has distorted, misused, chopped up, mutilated and all but destroyed the definition of the word. From a loving mother, holding her new child in her arms after birth, whispering it for the...
