Saving Our Daughters and Granddaughters

Strong Fathers and Deep Abiding Faith Antidote to Troubled Girls

We are losing our daughters and granddaughters, to immorality, sexually transmitted diseases (STD), drugs, alcohol and eating disorders at an astronomical rate and the women’s movement, corporate greed and absent, ineffectual fathers are to blame. This is the premise for Dr. Meg Meeker’s recent book Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters (Regency Publishing, Inc.; 2006).

About Face

John C. Capune — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 03:24:27 +0000

about face—in dismounted drill, a pivoting turn to the rear executed by an individual in formation when halted.

Yes, I am on FaceBook, but not very good at it. I also don’t have time anymore. People send me all kinds of goofy stuff to do... ways to get involved—to interact... but I just don’t get it. I have tried to participate but honestly, I really don’t care—not about the people, just about the dumb stuff—the silly activities.

Dreams of Our Fathers

John C. Capune — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 04:17:07 +0000

I slept fitfully in the grip of a dream...no a nightmare that I could not escape. I was walking through a world that was not so much gray as a devoid of all color. It was the future I sensed, not the present...although there was nothing to indicate that it was so.

Walking across a deserted hospital parking lot the sounds of a song from my youth, America by Simon and Garfunkel played through my head... 

Kathy, Im lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America

Spiritual Poverty

Understanding What It Means to Have a Biblical Worldview

This was an article I wrote back in 2007 that I think rings true today. Developing a Christian world view and maintaining that perspective are challenges all Christians face.

More and more the subject of a having or acquiring a “Biblical worldview” is being raised in books, articles, Internet blogs and the pulpit. Barna Research Groups statistics (2003 national survey of 2033 adults) discovered that only 4% of adults and 9% of adults who call themselves “Born Again Christians” have a Biblical worldview. These statistics are bandied about to catch our attention and they do capture our attention because if they are true it means that most of us don’t have this Biblical worldview.

Fakin' It

John C. Capune — Tue, 26 May 2009 03:05:06 +0000

It’s 1:52 AM Monday morning and another sleepless night. A friend at work says it is because I am getting old and my internal clock is screwed up, but I am not so sure.

Sunday’s sermon about why we do not share our faith has stuck in my head and will not go away. I been a Christian for almost seven years and you could fill a small closet with the folks I have shared Christ with.

Jesus has placed people in my life for the purpose of sharing my faith. For some I have, but for many others I have remained silent.

I do not live in a world with a lot of lost and lonely people and have not chosen to seek out those kinds of people. My wife and I have a small circle of acquaintances and just a few close friends, all of whom are Christians in some form or another. I work from home for a company I have been with for over twenty years. Many of the people I work with knew me in the old days when I use to be a heavy drinker. Many of them are waiting for me to come to my senses—to rejoin the party.

The Letter

John C. Capune — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:56:46 +0000

Looking out the front window through a curtain of rain, I watched the last of the guests all dressed in black get into their cars and drive away. Turning back, I walked from the living room to the dining room and stopped by the heavy oak table. I looked at the stacks of photo albums, their corners carefully trimmed in black ribbon.

Don’t Miss Cursebreaker by Nancy Wentz

The first novel in the “The Order of the Scrolls Series”

A great novel by Nancy Wentz published by Whitaker House that sizzles with action. A fast paced, page turner, filled with larger than life characters and a pulsing story line that races at break-neck speed to an explosive finished. Don’t start reading this book until Friday night, because once you start, you wont be able to put it down.
