Stirring the proverbial pot

So I’m really stirring the proverbial pot with these questions, but what the heck, we’ve got to begin the conversation somewhere, right?! Here are a few questions that I’ve been pondering lately. What do you think?

Is it possible to develop an authentic relationship with God without having heard about or being connected to Jesus first?

Are [...]

Whose House is it?

So, I was watching “House” yesterday, and I must admit that it’s by far one of the best shows on TV. I love the dialog, but I especially love the controversial, ethical, and moral questions that every episode seem to raise. Other than the fact that Dr. House is an egotistical, megalomaniac with a Messiah [...]

Today is a special day!!!

Today is a really special day! I’m sure you can think of lots of reasons why it’s special, but for me it’s special because my son, Demi, turns eighteen today. Why is that so earth shattering? Well you’re probably asking that question because it’s been so long since you turned eighteen that you’ve forgotten what [...]

Can you say Okada?!

I cannot begin to describe to you what emotions this picture elicits in me. No doubt the bikers head is as vacuous as the ‘helmet’ he’s wearing, but in a strangely poetic sort of way, I can really understand why he’s doing it. You see, this photo was taken in the country of my birth, [...]

Sunrise, Sunset…!!!

“Here’s what’s happening in your world even as we speak.” I don’t know if they are original to him, but these words were made famous by Willard Scott, the former ‘weatherman’ on NBC’s Today show. Today (no pun intended), I thought I should give you a synopsis of what’s really happening in our world (other [...]

One Incredible Journey!

It’s truly amazing how quickly time goes by when you’re living life to the fullest. The last three years have been an amazing season for my family and I. We’ve ‘fallen’ deeper in love with Central Florida and the people we are called to serve. We’ve, surprisingly, developed somewhat of an aversion to really cold [...]

Thankyou!!!

It’s Thanksgiving Day in the USA! Many people are gathering with loved ones today to ‘endure’ turkey and tryptophan, while others are grateful for the day off from work so that they can indulge in a lazy day of vicariously living through professional football players, as they watch the traditional Thanksgiving Day games. Of course, [...]

Nostalgia!!!

I’m a little nostalgic today! My ‘boy’ is growing up and slowly becoming a man (well maybe not so slowly any more) and I just realized, during a conversation last night, that he will be going away to college in July next year. If all goes according to plan, he should spend four years in [...]

Raging Fires

I highly recommend the movie Fireproof. Sola and I went to see it on Tuesday. In my estimation it’s the best made and best written Christian themed movie out there (besides the Passion of The Christ). The dialog was powerful, witty, thought provoking… it had just the right amount of humor to break the tension [...]

Liberalism/ Radical Islam Roulette???

Partisan politics is all the rage right now, with the average black man lining up behind Obama and the average white man lining up behind McCain (or is it Palin?). Whatever the case, we are discovering that we are a united nation only with regard to our geographical borders, as we are completely polarized when [...]
