Sunday, October 14th, 2007Sometimes life has a habit of kicking the snot right out of us. Of course, not in a way that relieves congestion, (lately my allergies would welcome the relief) but the kind that knocks you to the floor, wondering how you got there, how you’re going to get up, where God went, when he’ll return, [...]
The Things of This World
Thursday, October 11th, 2007Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." – Luke 12:15
I’ve revealed quite a bit about myself in these little writings, mostly nothing a person would want to brag about. I’m a cheesy movie lovin’, [...]
Christian Violence
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Something strange has happened in this post 9-11 world. After every Islamic attack anywhere on this planet, our American media clarifies, once again, the poor peace loving Islam religion has been hijacked. The same media blasts Christians. I rarely watch TV. The little I see constantly bashes the Christian Right, the very few sitcoms I [...]
Something fun…
Monday, October 8th, 2007We thought we’d try something a little different for today. Marc rediscovered his love for SCTV, something Julie had never heard of. He went on a Youtube.com binge for this old comedy series. He laughed and laughed. Julie laughed. We thought we’d share a clip with you. (If you like it, try your own youtub.com [...]
Those Who Oppose You
Sunday, October 7th, 2007 "So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
"All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish." – [...]
A few kind words
Thursday, October 4th, 2007The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
but the speech of the upright rescues them.
Proverbs 12:6
We all make mistakes. I’ve made a lot more than I’d like to confess to. But the more I read the Bible, the more the principles within it keep me from making some, every now and then. I [...]
Movie Review: Strange Brew
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007When I was a kid, I used to stay up all night on weekends. I was at an age when that gave me no ill effects and could function fairly well the following day. It was such a thrill to say that I “beat the night”, and sometimes I wish that my late 30’s body [...]
And it came to pass…
Monday, October 1st, 2007When I was in high school my mom took my sister, my three younger brothers, and me on a two hour drive. We ended up in some relatively small town, because every town near us was a relatively small town. We spent the next hour or two laughing, deep from our guts ’til they hurt. My younger [...]
