Have you ever had one of those evenings out in public that everything you did seemed to be one step more clumsy and embarrassing than the last? That was my story this past weekend. I was at a writers conference in Franklin, TN where a number of fairly well-known writers and speakers would be attending […]
I was sitting with a number of men a few weeks ago discussing a Bible passage from Romans chapter 8. These guys are quite bright and have given this particular section of Scripture a great deal of thought and reflection. Hanging-out primarily on the first few verses of the passage, we were reminded of the […]
‘Uncle, uncle, uncle…help me!’ are the words cried out by the alleged terrorist Hussain as the 15 year old is carried away by authorities. ‘Iraq stops would-be child bomber for ISIS’ was the headline CNN ran a couple weeks ago. “The Story the Media Didn’t Show You” was the article that I saw on my […]
If you live in America and have turned on the news at any point this past year, you’ve probably heard the noise of a national debate over LGBT issues of equality and related social policies. Like so many arguments in life, there seem to be two sides to the battle with both groups believing that […]
Do you remember that car you really loved? It wasn’t brand new…wasn’t particularly impressive…but it just had a vibe you fell in love with.

Anger, Confusion & Compassion Reflections on the Syrian Refugee Crisis Are we all done now? It’s what we might say to a couple of toddlers screaming at each other when they can’t get the other to do what they want. I’d like to scream this from the moral high ground for all to hear. Sadly, […]
So let me just admit it…I really enjoy playing Table Tennis…always have. Some of you may prefer the name ‘Ping Pong’. I can appreciate that. It’s certainly a catchier name and sounds like something that anyone can play. At first mention I think it’s what most of us remember…just knocking the ball around. As a […]
“Do you need Hell to sell Jesus?” It’s a line I’ve heard a good friend of mine share over the past few years when he’s talking to other Christians about evangelism (which is often defined, whether accurately or not, as attempting to convince a non-Christian person to convert towards putting their hope for life in Jesus […]
So I’m thinking of starting a blog. And by ‘thinking’ of starting one what I really mean is that I’m beginning now, but have been scared as skippy of what will become of the whole thing. As they say…all journeys begin with a first step…though occasionally that first step can be a doozy. In the […]
I regularly post articles and podcast episodes engaging issues of Life, God, and Faith…and sometimes just a fun story to brighten your day. If you don’t want to miss a thing, enter your email below.
