the luck of the pea
Sandy, my neighbor, called me, Neal and I would like your family over for black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day, she said. She must be as bad a cook as she has always claimed to be, I thought to myself. Black-eyed peas certainly doesn’t get me salivating. My unintentional heavy pause sent her on an explanation Read more

post-a-day 2011
I need some discipline so I think I’m going to try posting something here every day in 2011. It might also be fun and inspiring. Might pick up momentum or just fizzle. Let’s see.

dinner with Jesus, new year’s eve, 2010
How fortunate the one who gets to eat dinner in God’s kingdom. Luke 14:15 I’m a home body, relieved rather than offended when left out of the guest list.

In His Image Devotional Bible (Tyndale)
When it comes to Bibles, I’m not a purist. I have 15 different kinds by my bedside right now, and even more shelved away. I love the poetic grandness of the King James just as much as the gritty earthiness of the Message. I use the ones with the theological annotations just as much as Read more

Grace of God, by Andy Stanley
I’ll be honest. I really didn’t want to read this book. First of all, I have a quirky aversion to people with, what sounds like, two first names. And then there’s the fact that I’m partial to Lucado, Swindoll, Yancey and Barclay when it comes to the topic of grace. But in spite of these Read more
