A set of siblings have a unique understanding of how they operate and are able to get away with certain things because of what they can communicate between each other and then to the outside world. It’s so fascinating getting insight into their thinking and their dynamic. I was watching a set […]
Read More Contrition, Confession, Repentance and Thanks For NovemberThere is a look of exasperation that appears on your face as you become the recipient of the umpteenth act of misfortune. You know, you drag all the bags of shopping into the room and discover that you forgot the flour that you were told quite clearly you had to buy. It was a tough day anyway and the store […]

Read More The Ongoing Quest for Authentic Christian FellowshipUndercover Christians are an interesting breed. There are certain areas where Christianity faces severe persecution.

Read More He Must EmergeI am reliably informed that across the pond folks be celebrating something with a Turkey. I came across this video by John Green who I enjoy which fits in so superbly with the theme. So I am giving thanks for John Green and for also knowing that the basics are covered.

Read More For Those Who Have The Basics CoveredPrayer. I find it fascinating. I learn something about it and there’s more to learn about it.
