Random Thoughts
I recently passed by a Speedway gas station and saw a sign for shockwave extra caffeinated coffee. I can’t help but wonder when the first American’s heart is going to explode from these “energy” drinks, if it hasn’t happened already. And while we are talking about signs, I pass a church every day that has…

Through The Bible: Far Behind
As I said before I have fallen behind with the addition of our new little girl and my own lack of discipline, but I am determined to continue to read. I am almost exactly one month behind the schedule so I am starting in on the April 8th reading of 1 Samuel.

Arrogance on My Part
I had something of an interesting revelation the other day about my pride. I am sure we are all familiar with the shame we feel after a particular sin or ‘spritiual bad day’ where we just don’t want to face our father. It is just like report card day when I was in school.

Tax Day
Well again I don’t like to be all political but this is the only time of the year it seems you can get people to pay attention. There will be news stories of Post Offices being open late so people can file. There may even be a few stories about how much the squeeze is…

Suburban Missionary
“You feel called to Africa but you haven’t gone across the street” — Many Pastors across America. I have heard the above quote many a times in my life from a preacher who is trying to convince people to witness to their neighbors.
