  • Get Your “But” Off the Thanksgiving Table

    I must confess… I haven’t always been unconditionally thankful. You know, the kind of thankful that Paul mentions several times where I’m supposed to “in everything give thanks.”  And to complete this extra serving of honesty, I must say that even now I’m not always unconditionally thankful. That’s kind of why I don’t do the “Today…

  • Two Choices?

    Today, Americans will cast their ballots and the next President will be chosen. This election season has been filled with more turmoil and uncertainty than at any other time in history. Our nation is definitely at a crisis point, and many are in great fear of the future of our nation.  We believers have two…

  • Rethinking Life & Death

    How much do you have to love someone before you will die for them? There’s a philosophical principle which says that innate to our humanity is a sense of compassion for others, and that in the face of a crisis, the instinct that drives us to protect others becomes greater than that which drives us…

  • Mystery

    I’ve been listening to a lot of Christmas music the past few months. Yep, I know it’s early- and I know that some people would say it’s a borderline travesty to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. Don’t care! What have you been listening to…? Political debates?! I ran across this song, and it has…

  • Lonely Roads

    Recently, life has seemed to consist of one really long, lonely road and I don’t like this turn of events at all.

  • I’ve got my eye on you

    This is my friend and co-worker Adam.  Basically, he’s a good guy. He’s smart. I think he’s good at his job. He’s considerate. He does great sound effects.  He’s a good friend. But.  Adam is notorious for taking pictures of unsuspecting people. He’s good at this, y’all. Too good. He’s gotten me at least once that…

  • This Road Home

    When I first started writing my blog, it was mostly for the purpose of providing a variety of perspectives on concepts that were being taught in Sunday School and Bible studies at the church where I was serving. Since I’m no longer serving in a ministry career, my blog has kind of transformed as life…

  • He Knows Me

    Do you ever have those days when you feel like with the right make-up you could totally be one of the zombies on The Walking Dead? You know, those days when your brain is obviously infected by something other than the intelligence virus? When you wonder when your “walking around” sense walked off and left…

  • To the Grave

    My blog this week is rather substantial and is on the topic of the Jonestown Massacre that occurred in 1978. Though I have vivid memories of the event as a young adolescent, this is the first time I’ve revisited it as an adult, and boy, did it open my eyes. Feel free to comment with…

  • He Reminds Me

    Sometimes, when you least expect it, but when you most need it, God will do something absolutely amazing in your life- just to remind you how much He loves you.
