Read More 20 for 20 #13 DadI love history a lot. It’s one of the reasons I love the Bible so much because of its expression of the story in the past as well as the future. It’s great. At the same time, I appreciate that I don’t live in history. Every day is a new day with new opportunities to […]
Read More 20 for 20 #12 Into the NewJesus. I learn more and more that if life is not about Him, then it’s not living at all.

Read More 20 for 20 #8 WorshipPolitics. Few people respond enthusiastically to exploring politics who are not already involved in observing, studying, and participating in the political process.

Read More 20 for 20 #7 Dryden on PoliticsThis is my blog. It’s got my name on it. I’m not the only person who has written on this blog, though.

Read More 20 for 20 #6 FriendsI like some of the writing I did in an autobiographical vein. I know – this blog is by me and meant to be about me, but actually it’s mostly around my thoughts about things of great interest to me, but not necessarily about me.
