Sayid Abdul Karim

This is Sayid Abdul Karim and his 9-year-old grandaughter. Sayid is 80! In case you’re wondering, I am not personally acquainted with him or his grandaughter. I have said a prayer for them today though, and I’m truly burdened for their plight. What you don’t see in the photograph (you’d have to see the full [...]

An irrefutable truth

I’m going to conclude this series of posts on spiritual warfare, today. It is my sincere prayer that, more than anything else that I’ve written, this series will make a difference in the lives of the readers. I say that because it appears to me as if many of the current generation of Christian leaders [...]

Hmmm! I wonder if…

Some of the most compelling parts of the book, Adam, were the questions posed at the end of the story. Skillfully crafted as a discussion between Daniel the story’s hero, his estranged wife Heather and the priest who performed the deliverance (exorcism) on Alex Price, they consider the following questions:

How had they been blinded to [...]

A Film Student’s Vision of ADAM on a $100 dollar budget

Admittedly, this video doesn’t really do justice to the story at all, but with a $100.00 budget, it certainly attempts to capture the idea that the subject is dealing with a phenomena outside the realm of the ordinary. The premise of the story is that a recognized FBI behavioral psychologist, who [...]

Adam and Eve

In my opinion, one of the most creative and spiritually astute Christian fiction writers to come along in over a decade is Ted Dekker. I must admit that he is one of the people I would most love to meet. His subject matter is the stuff psychological thrillers are made of, and if you doubt [...]

What if…?

Recently I’ve been pondering the idea of “What if…?” There are so many “what ifs” that could have changed the course of human history for good or for bad. For example; What would humanity look like today if Jesus had chosen not to die on the cross? What if I had chosen not to eat [...]

Gollum or Smeagol… who are you?

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 [...]

Banal Banter!

Wow! My white twin!! That’s what Byron Bledsoe appears to be. We had dinner with Byron and Angie on Friday night. I tell you what… wow! We really connected with them. He and I have so much in common. She, is fit to be tied… she is such a scream. Their honesty, transparency and passion [...]

Treasure hunting

I really enjoyed watching National Treasure – Book of Secrets. It was fun, light-hearted, and witty. All the hi-tech stuff that happened from inside a toilet stall was way beyond me (I’m at a loss to see how you can control video cameras, fire alarms, locking security gates, and other such security measures simply by [...]

South Africa or bust!

I thought I’d share this image with you today. There is no clearer universal language than a language that is spoken by all races. Football (or soccer as it is called in countries that don’t know any better ) is a universal game. More people on the planet play or watch football than any [...]
