want my Ur
Today, the day before I turn 48, sitting in the Motor Vehicles Administration, I realized it’s been over four long years since I moved to Southern Oregon. A serendipitous calling brought me here and a painful incident a couple of years later had me yearning to go back home, to Maryland. And yet I’m still Read more

gotta have it by Gregory Jantz (David C. Cook)
The title (the subtitle and the cover art too, for that matter) led me to believe the book was an expose´on the evils of materialism. Well aware of these evils and having never been tempted to keep up with the Jones, I set out to read the book for no other reason but an obligation Read more

Tithing by Douglas Leblanc (Thomas Nelson)
Kudos to Thomas Nelson for championing the basic disciplines of faith. Far too many Christians today have swung so far left that the warm fuzzies of God’s grace entwining with man’s heart have obfuscated the everyday responsibilities of Christian life and service. The Cross and God’s grace give us salvation; but the life of the Read more

An incredible performance–every act is orchestrated to perfection, and all synchronized with the repeated proclamation–“Let there be . . .” God Read more

what is it about this picture?
WordPress sent me this summary of the 2010 traffic on my blog, particularly about one picture–“A Boeing 747-400 passenger jet can hold 416 passengers. This blog was viewed about 2,200 times in 2010. That’s about 5 full 747s.” There continues to be at least one person checking this picture out every day. I don’t get Read more

when God winks
God overlooks it as long as you don’t know any better. Acts 17:30 I’ve heard it since I was little. It’s something that has kept away the guilt and grown my hope–That God, in His infinite love and mercy, overlooks sins committed in innocence, that there’s no penalty for bad deeds born outside of malice Read more
