On Becoming Real
In the book The Velveteen Rabbit, a little stuffed bunny is given as a Christmas present to The Boy (as he’s called in the story). During his time in the nursery, he is befriended by another toy, The Skin Horse. The Skin Horse instructs the toy bunny about what all the toys of the nursery…

No More Mr. Nice Christian
A few months ago I was asked to speak at a camp in March and I was excited! It’s not everyday I get asked to speak somewhere (as a matter of fact the youth at my church are glad I only speak once a month!) so I was up for the challenge. I was then…

Sacrifice Simplified
In the dark days of Israel before the time of Christ, the law called for a sacrifice to atone for ones sins. I get the idea from scripture that the right thing to do was with a good and giving heart bring God your best and offer it to Him at the Temple in Jerusalem.…

Is There Music on a Printed Page?
The band Pieces of the Wreck is going to play a little “mini-show” on December 31st (New Year’s Eve). We’ll have our Burning House service, and then roll right in to a Sounds of Thunder/Pieces of the Wreck concert. It’s sort of funny though, because they are almost the same band with the exception of…

Ride For Africa | Pre Ride
A lot is happening in Africa. Some would say we have enough problems here in America to deal with and that attitude would be perfectly fine if Jesus had died for Americans, but He didn’t. He died for humans, that includes Africans, Frenchies, and Iraqi’s. His love wasn’t bound by masses of water and his…

Mac vs PC parody, Part Two
I don’t know…this may be right along the lines of “us versus them”…but there still needs to be room for parody and self deprication, which the PC “Christian” really is.

On Purpose
We are coming to the end of a study I have been participating in centered on the book, The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. It really is a great book and has some wonderful insights into the journey a follower of Jesus is on. There have been a few things that I find myself…

The Christmas Junkie
I’ll admit it right off the bat…I’m a Christmas Junkie. I love Christmas. At 45 years of age, I still slow down to look at cool displays of exterior holiday lighting, and run through the house in my pajamas at random moments shouting “It’s almost Christmas!”. I think my love for this holiday is two-fold. For…

Rocky Gets Saved?
Hollywood has been pimping people for a hundred years. They have chewed up and spit out hundreds of thousands of wanna be actors and actresses and then wiped the corners of their collective mouths and let slip a satisfying burp. Now they are ready to pimp the church. You see it’s the job of film…
