What Is The Real Battle?

March 5, 2015 by Jared Buckley 4 Comments

What Is The Real Battle

I have realized recently parenting children with special needs is like standing in the water at the beach with a major undertow. Growing up in southern California, we frequently took trips to the beach. The days when the undertow was strong, we had to be very careful. They can be dangerous if you are not paying attention. They love to sweep your legs out from underneath you. I have come to the … [Read more...]

Happy ReNew Year

Happy Renew Year

Honestly, I am not one for New Year’s resolution, but I still love seeing the opportunity of what new beginnings bring. A new year sets off the societal signal to reset your {fill the blank}. However, it is interesting to look at what the big deal is about New Years. Today is not much different than yesterday. We have the same sun, same moon, same earth, same God, and same Savior. But there is … [Read more...]

Touched By An Angel

It has been a long and hard last 9 months for me personally. After we closed our church plant 9 months ago, I wrestled with God on many different topics. However, most of the time I tend to tune it out and ignore the real issues. That is until last week. For the past week, my eyes have been opened to how hurt I was over the loss. Dealing With My Heart First off, I would like to say, I am … [Read more...]

New Baby Brother Brings New Excitement

This past Saturday on August 30th, we welcomed our 3rd child into the world. Noah Dean Buckley joined the dynamic duo and turned it into the three amigos. It should be fun. However, we were not sure how Fayth and Stephen were going to act. Fayth, our oldest daughter with Down syndrome, was not very welcoming to her first brother, Stephen, 18 months ago. When Stephen was born, she ignored … [Read more...]

Listening Takes Time

Tears were flowing. The frustration of our daughter Fayth not listening was overwhelming my wife, Stephanie. Not to mention she is 8 months pregnant might have something to do with the water works. Stephanie was in one of her spells of exhaustion and frustration. This happens every now and again. We were about to learn a lesson one listening takes time. The Lord is not slow in keeping his … [Read more...]

DUMB…The Power of Words Rooting

July 3, 2014 by Jared Buckley 1 Comment

Power of Words

“…will she always look DUMB...” Those words were like nails running down a chalk board. We were shocked. Before I proceed, you need to understand the background. Fayth, our daughter with Down syndrome, was just 6 months old at the time. We had traveled out to California for Christmas to be with my family. Fayth was also only 3 months out of her open-heart surgery. To put it lightly, my wife … [Read more...]
