Our Tattooed Hero!

A few weeks ago we were discussing our favorite scritpures and why they were our favorities. The one I offered up is Revelation 19:11-16. I really love all of Revelation, but this section and chapter 19 as in whole is really awesome.
It’s the view of Christ that we get of the next time we will see Him. [...]

Happy Birthday Kathy!!!

Today is the birthday of my beautiful bride, Kathy.
She is an awesome lady who is insipration for so many people, especially for me and the kids.
I thought I’d put up a fitting tribute for her.

Tolerating Intolerance

With all the discussion about tolerance and apeasement, I thought it comforting to see that this has become an issue in this years election as well. We could all do well to follow the example of some of our candidates.

Ok, so this is the ultimate strawman… tolerance. I [...]

To Park or not to Park…

So Kathy brought up the issue of handicap spots in my last post. Well… since she opened the door.
We have handicap plates on our Van. We only park in a handicap spot when Kathy is having a flareup (MS). Now when she’s feeling well, we gladly park at the back end of the lot and [...]

Flexing Ones Backbone

Been gone a few days… been pretty busy. Wow, leave for just a bit and everyone scatters…
After reading a recent article at SharpIron, I’ve been contemplating the issue of dealing with all sorts of people; not just in the blog world but in general. It’s easy dealing with those with whom we agree and with [...]

An Enigma Wrapped in a Mystery

I enjoy reading Brian McClaren. He writes in a way that challenges the status quo and stimulates great conversation and thought. There’s quite a bit of his stuff that I appreciate and agree with and, of course, some that I don’t.  However, after every book I’ve read by him I am incredibly frustrated. You finish [...]

All Steps are Forward

Kathy and I were talking in the car today about our progression in faith. We were discussing some people we know who are going through a dark period in their walk. You know, everyone has had them, the times when God seems silent, when our relationship with him is a bit stale. Are these times [...]

Weblog of Jesus Stirs Controversy Among Faithful

Did you hear?? Jesus has now entered the blog world!!
Here’s some of my favorite quotes from the article, they are both funny and poignant:
Pastor Kendrick Villa, well-respected conservative evangelical blogger, believes that Jesus is going too far. In a press release he wrote: “I appreciate what Jesus has done for us. His death is essential [...]

Why is Church Full of Fat Slobs?

OK, forgive the title, I’m just trying a ’shocking’ title to see if it improves my google hits…ÂÂ
I have a friend who is a Seventh Day Adventist. I don’t know a whole lot about them except that they are an of shoot of the Methodist church and they place a huge emphasis on living a [...]

Who’s Poor?

Ok, we’re talking about wealth how about poverty?
Most often in ‘Christian Circles’ poverty is defined subjectively. Peoples level of poverty is determined in relationship to the mean level of existence in the particular society in which they live. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it this way:

The state of being poor; lack of the means of [...]
