I was at a friend’s house recently (actually in his yard), admiring the yard lights he had dotting his driveway and sidewalk. When I found out they were solar powered I became more interested. After he told me how inexpensive they were, I went into full purchase mode. A few days later there was aContinue reading “Looking For The Light”

Living As Part Two People
Death and resurrection are looked upon by most of us from purely a Plan B perspective—a fallback position if/when Plan A is no longer available. We are quite certain we want no part of them until there is absolutely no other option. There’s very little of the “to live is Christ and to die is gain,” mindsetContinue reading “Living As Part Two People”
Lions And Tigers And Bears (2)
Before HDTV there was BBTV (Big Bulky) television. Like most people, we don’t have any sets that fall into this category anymore. We got rid of most of most of them, but one I’m thinking of died in a surge of electricity when our house was struck by lightning. This happened years ago and evenContinue reading “Lions And Tigers And Bears (2)”
Lions And Tigers And Bears (1)
1939 was a great year for movies. Jimmy Stewart was in a couple of popular ones: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Destry Rides Again. Some guy named John Wayne was in picture called Stagecoach. Then there was a ridiculously long movie—so much so that it had an intermission in it. It was based on Margaret Mitchell’s story setContinue reading “Lions And Tigers And Bears (1)”
Light Shining In Darkness
Steve and Lindsey Justice met in college, married, and have two daughters, Hannah and Hope. They wanted another child but Lindsey was having trouble getting pregnant. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)—a disorder that complicates conception. They began looking into adoption and Lindsey started receiving fertility treatments. She found out she was pregnantContinue reading “Light Shining In Darkness”
Life In The Right Lane
Someone had this inscribed on their tombstone: Pause dear friend as you pass by, As you are now so once was I. As I am now, you soon will be. Prepare yourself to follow me. Below it, another person had added the following: To follow you I’m not content, Until I know which way youContinue reading “Life In The Right Lane”
Learning To Live With Our Assumptions
Ned and Ed are brothers. There were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year to the same mother. They are not twins. How can that be? It’s my privilege to be teaching a group of young men about teaching. The class essentially has two parts: having something to sayContinue reading “Learning To Live With Our Assumptions”
In Support Of Diversity In Marriage
The effort to institutionalize same sex relationships is just one of the latest chapters in our culture’s push back against God in regard to His gift of sexuality. The sexualization of just about everything that moves (including children), promiscuity (and the glamorization of it), pornography (we now have mommy porn like Fifty Shades of Gray), abortion (muchContinue reading “In Support Of Diversity In Marriage”
Inflating Or Inspiring?
No one is sure exactly where the word hype comes from. Some think it came about by shortening the word hyperbole. Others think it has something to do with illicit drug use and the hypodermic needle—getting “hyped up.” Then there’s the thought that it simply comes from the prefix hyper. I suppose one explanation is as good as another or maybeContinue reading “Inflating Or Inspiring?”
I Am So Angry!
Jonah was one angry guy! He gave an eight word sermon, had an entire city respond to it, and it only made him angrier! We don’t know for certain exactly why he was angry with the Ninevites (maybe someone in his family had been killed or suffered at the hands of the Assyrians), but it’s obvious that this destructiveContinue reading “I Am So Angry!”
