Greatest Intros Ever. Every rare once in a while, I like to write about something totally trivial. Ironically, those are the ones that usually get the most responses. I really like lists of “best” things. Years ago, I used to try to use two VCRs to create one great movie tape of, for example, the…Continue reading Greatest Musical Intro's of All Time – Part I

A Parable of Saying "No" – Part II
The Parable of Saying NO. The setting is some rocks by the sea of Galilee. (I don’t know why we always think of Jesus sitting on rocks – they had chairs back then, but I know that I do, and seriously, google “Jesus sitting on rocks”… apparently I am not alone.) Jesus has been sitting…Continue reading A Parable of Saying "No" – Part II
A Parable of Saying "No" – Part I
On Saying No Over the last few years, one of my great passions has been the topic of rest. Someday, I will write an article made up of my notes from a year of research on rest… As I have spoken recently on various topics, it keeps coming up! It doesn’t seem to matter what…Continue reading A Parable of Saying "No" – Part I
Spiritual Parenting – Part II
In fact, if we examine the lists of what a parent is/does, it seems clear that the main role of a parent is to be an example of God’s love and devotion to us. Parents are essentially shepherds, disciple-ers, and ministers in the order of Christ: Sacrificial, intentional, and all the rest. From this perspective,…Continue reading Spiritual Parenting – Part II
Perfectionism – Part 2
I am sure there are some arguments in defense of not mixing the colors, but they are all ridiculous when you are talking about a “toy” that will have to be replaced in any case soon, and that is outrageously cheap! He couldn’t think of a good reason, so he let them mix the colors.…Continue reading Perfectionism – Part 2

The Power of Fathers – Part II
Because it is what my dad chose… And I knew he could do whatever he wanted. Choose what he wanted. And that is what he chose. His choices were limitless (from a child’s perspective), so, naturally what he chose must be the best. To this day, if I were offered many choices of candy bars,…Continue reading The Power of Fathers – Part II
The Power of Fathers Part I
I am preaching today (or depending on when you read this, I preached…) on “everlasting Father” from Isaiah’s prophetic description of Jesus. One of the topics that i mention about fathers is the power they/we have… So often children’s engagement with reality is impacted by the father… Moreover, a child’s first and most intuitive belief…Continue reading The Power of Fathers Part I

My regular computer is in the E.R. with a dying Hard Drive, so I will have to take a short break in the articles I have been writing.

For years I have talked to mostly men, and a few women, about issues connected to the temptations particular to pornography.

A story about Hell (aka I remember the story I was going to end the Womenary semester with)

Halloween and a New Trend
I recently read (and posted) Tim Challies’ article about Halloween. As is often the case, sometimes when we, who are Christians, respond to something, we respond to the wrong problem… and Tim has brought attention to what the real problem may be now… The Harry Potter books are one of my favorite example of this… Years…Continue reading Halloween and a New Trend
