As some of you know, I was out of the church for 25 years before coming back. Having grown up in 12 different homes one of the things I saw was a lot of different Christian denominations. One home was Assembly of God. Another was Catholic. Another was Baptist. I attended a Four-Square youth group…

Hey everyone! So, I’ve been trying to write this blog for several weeks and just couldn’t come up with the right tone. First drafts were ranting. Second drafts were preachy. Third drafts were whiny. Fourth drafts were dull. Perhaps this will be the one that works! I’m going to talk about equivocation. That’s a great…

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Now that we all are preparing for the New Year I wanted to share one of my favorite scripture verses and how I think it may help all of us in 2014. Psalms 46:10 says, “Be still and know I am God.” It’s a simple little verse that…

Yes it’s true; I talk to myself. My wife gives me a hard time because I’ll be in the shower or just sitting around talking quietly to myself about stuff. Sometimes it’s practicing something I’ll say to someone, making sure my responses are appropriate. Other times I’m just chewing on a problem. I think that…

I’ve had my first Blog request! This from a friend of mine today: Do you take requests? Blog topic: The Book of Job. I was listening to NPR today and they were talking about people’s search for meaning across time and circumstance in this old testament book. It got me to thinking what YOU would…
