It’s not that difficult, really. You hear enough people saying it, you see someone preach up a storm about it, someone even sings a song with the concept in it and it must be true. You don’t really have the time to check it out for yourself. Over time it sinks in enough for you […]
Read More Assuming The BibleCertain episodes in scripture bug me. They don’t bug me because I don’t understand them. They bug me exactly because I do understand them. Jesus mentions that the world will know we are His followers by the way we love each other. That is to say in as much as people might observe glorious singing, […]
Read More Being With Perfectly Pleasant StrangersA thesaurus might say that another description of ‘tired’ is weary. I can understand why they would do something like that. This blog entry is not to pick a fight with the thesaurus. Be that as it may, I would suggest, from experience, a key difference between the two terms. Tired is something you feel […]

Read More Joy Worth Shouting AboutHe did a good job. I applauded him. The word came across strong and clearly. There was enough in it for me to take something and think it through afterwards and I was already thinking of how I could converse about it with others afterwards. Yet it was the afterwards that really made the difference. […]
Read More What Happened AfterwardsSoon I hope to post a review of a book I have just fininshed reading. What made this experience particularly unique for me was that I got to engage with the author as I was reading it. I would read a section and then message him to ask for some insight about the chapter I […]
Read More Talking To The AuthorAs I sit and watch I see characters completely devoted to their own cause. Not flexible at all to the thought of working with others especially if it comes to sacrificing their own platform. This is where I long to see a Christian alternative.
