Life has a way of throwing us into storms when we least expect it. As a husband, father of twins, and professional, I've come to realize that preparation isn't just a survival skill—it's a lifeline. Much like Noah building his ark in anticipation of the flood, I've faced moments where foresight and planning made all the difference.

A Storm on the Horizon

It was a few years ago when my wife and I were expecting our twins. Our lives were already a delicate balancing act, managing careers while...

It was 3 AM last Tuesday. One twin was finally asleep after a lengthy battle, while the other had just unleashed what I can only describe as a biohazard in her crib. Standing there in the dim glow of the nightlight, I found myself staring at the aftermath—a diaper blowout of biblical proportions that had somehow scaled the walls of her sleeper and was threatening to contaminate the entire crib.

When I started reading Genesis and Job, I wasn’t looking to write a book. I was looking for answers. Life had thrown me into a whirlwind. My wife and I had just moved into a new house—an exciting but chaotic transition—and shortly after, we became parents to twins. Suddenly, the days were filled with sleepless nights, unpacked boxes, and the constant juggling act of caring for two newborns. It was beautiful, yes, but it was also overwhelming.
