Why Vine 'n Shoots?

Greetings and welcome to this new blog.

I will be learning along the way so if you are an experienced blogger, please bear with me patiently.

The focus of this blog is to share information and thoughts from a biblical perspective on topics that relate to marriage and parenting. 

God's Word has a great deal to say concerning both of these areas of life. One such place is Psalm 128:3, "Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table." The title of this blog, "Vine 'n Shoots," is drawn from this passage.

Periodically, insights and information on either/both of these topics come across my desk. When these seem generally helpful, I will share them. At times, a particular Scripture passage and application will arise in reading, conversation, or study. When that happens I will share them.

I also welcome your thoughts, reactions, contributions to the conversation. Please pass them along.
