Recently I wrote an article in which I suggested that, if we had any idea as to where we’d be and what we’d be doing in the future, it would inform the choices and decisions we make today. I don’t know about you, but sadly, as a pastor I’ve had the unfortunate ‘task’ of having [...]

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, [...]

I’m ticked! I know, I know, it seems as if I’ve been ticked for a while now, right? Any way, this time I’m waxing philosophical on a completely different issue than politics or faith. One of the drawbacks of living in a country where everyone gets to excercise their ‘free-will’ freely, is that you have [...]

I have to admit to being stupefied by this photo! It was posted on ragamuffinsoul.com (Carlos Whittaker’s blog), and I couldn’t help copying the photo and pasting it here. I admit that I was pretty rankled when I read it. And we wonder why church attendance and the perceived relevance of Christianity is on the [...]

Do you know where Myanmar is? Are you even aware that Myanmar is the name of the country that used to be known as Burma? I didn’t think so. In case you’re wondering what this is about, let me assure you that I’m not remotely interested in giving you a geography lesson this morning (National [...]

The two figurines in this photo have pride of place on the mantlepiece in my study. They represent my favorite character in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It never ceases to amaze me how we can be so divergent in our personalities depending on the day. There is a constant battle going on in [...]

I was hoping I’d get your attention with the title of my post. I know that a number of you read my post and watched the inspiring video of Charlene Hornsby’s testimony about her faith in God through this incredibly difficult season of cancer she’s battling. I also suspect that the majority of the people [...]

Yesterday I flew to New Hampshire and my connecting flight went through Charlotte, NC. As we approached Charlotte International Airport on the descent, the pilot’s voice came over the public address system to explain that the weather conditions in Charlotte were “extremely foggy.” (How’s that for a professional weather report?) I’ve flown often enough that [...]

Sagarmatha (which means “Mother of the sky”) Is the best known of the Himalyan mountain range lying between the countries of Tibet and Nepal. It is more commonly known in the West as Mount Everest! The first westerner on record to have scaled its lofty heights was a British explorer named Sir Edmund Hillary. For [...]
