It seems to me that Christians have become so worried about what will be thought of them if they stand up for what the bible actually says, that we have started to not only represent the Gospel so very poorly, but have become a horrible caricature of what a Christian ought to be.
If the truth matters, and I believe it does, then shouldn’t the transformational truth-claims about God be quite evident in the way our lives are lived out and how we treat others — even devout atheists? One needs only to take a quick glance at the words of two of today’s most well-known atheists to prove the old adage, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
In today’s NFL, with all the Free Agency and Salary Caps, wouldn’t you have to agree that Bill Belichick ranks up there with the all-time greatest coaches? He completely dismantled what is likely one of the highest-powered offenses ever in the Indianapolis Colts. Went into Heinz Field this …

I’m still waiting for that new “Star Trek” technology. You know, where we don’t have to drive anymore, but will be able to go anywhere we want in the blink of an eye simply by being “beamed up” or “over” or “down” or whatever? But, I guess until …

I hate “Mondays.” Even the sound of the name……sounds too much like mundane. I wish I could have a portable caffeine IV Drip with which to wheel around the office. I wonder if the company would spring for that?
Of course, it was great to see …

It is, obviously, sad and difficult to lose a loved one. People we love leave us behind and we don’t have them here to love or to love us any longer. A part of us says, “We will never see them again.” Of course, this is not …

Well, I guess they FINALLY certified the presidential election. Did you hear about how some of the Senators and Congressmen protested the Ohio electoral vote? Guess who? Barbara Boxer (D) of California with Ted Kennedy’s (D – MA) support and all the Black Caucus delayed the certification process and caused …

Why is it so hard to get up at 5:30 am when it is dark? But then, when Spring and Summer roll in, that same 5:30 is much easier to handle….I am coming to the realization that there are some bad psychological and physiological forces at work on us. …

I hate the “post-Christmas/New Year” feeling. It’s a little depressing, though I don’t know why. Maybe it is the weather…..but, actually it warmed up here. I suppose we all get sucked into celebrating Christmas for the wrong reasons…..I enjoy my family…even my “in-laws.” It was great to get to spend …
