Last week I posed a couple of questions that stimulated some discussion on whether or not one can experience an authentic relationship with God without having ever heard of, or knowing Jesus, and if indeed we are saved by believing the dogma of a church or the direction of our lives,by both or by neither. [...]

Can I be honest with you? Before I woke up this morning I’d never even heard of Clarence, NY. Before a little bit past 10.00pm last night, I would put money on the fact that possibly you and most other people hadn’t either. The spotlight is often a good thing. Drawing attention to your small [...]

I recently read a news article regarding President-elect Obama, which stated:
“Just two months ago, the future president seemed a cross between Superman and Merlin the magician, now he himself admits he won’t be able to keep all his promises, and who knows? Maybe someone will ask for his impeachment by the end of next week.”(Massimo [...]

If the first blog of the year (besides a happy New Year blog) is expected to be profound and life transforming, then I’m under tremendous pressure to ‘perform.’ However, if it’s simply meant to convey a profound truth that I’m learning, then that’s a relatively easy task since I’m learning new things every single day. [...]

A while back I posted a blog explaining how I was in a season of “Holy discontent” and was so dissatisfied with where I was in my Christian experience. I’d love to tell you that I’ve moved on from that but it just wouldn’t be true. I’m more discontented than ever! You see, lately I’ve [...]

I’m taking a break from my ‘Presidential Quotes’ today to post a video that a friend of mine shot while he was in Sudan this past September. While it tugs at the heartstrings and begs for sympathy, the more overarching idea here is that we all get involved. If just a couple of people who [...]

Evidently I’m not the only one going through ’seasons of change’. Our world is evolving and changing daily. Heightened security awareness is marked by color coded levels of danger at our airports. Private jet ownership has never seemed more appealing when you consider the ‘harassment’ and ‘humiliation’ you have to contend with when flying commercially [...]

Sola and I went out on a well deserved movie date last night and I even threw in a chinese dinner which we ordered take-out (Hey, I know how to show my wife a good time). We went to see Tyler Perry’s The Family that Preys . I’ve got to tell you, it was an [...]

I know, I know, you’re wondering if I’m schizophrenic or something. I mean, my last post was titled “Contented” and in the space of a couple of days I’m posting another blog titled “Discontented”? I can assure you that it has nothing to do with the water or with being on two different continents over [...]

I know John Lennon popularized this imagine “ideology” with his song of the same title. I admit it’s an incredibly catchy tune, but today I’m inclined to think more about the words than I am the music. I imagine (pun intended) that Lennon saw this idealistic picture of a world that he believed could be. [...]
