I was reading an article today that made me wonder why it is so hard to break out of the cycle of activities that so many think define us as Christians. The article commented on a mother who would read a chapter of Proverbs to her kids at breakfast and their family would always attend…

Galatians [3:10-14]
Galatians 3:10-14 But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all these commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.” Consequently, it is clear that no one can ever be right…
Many Books…
“Of making many books there is no end.” – Ecc 12:12 Every once in a while I am overwhelmed as a writer by the sheer volume of written material available to the reader. Everywhere you go, especially now with the internet, there is an enormous amount of information and opinion available on any given subject….
The Macintosh Computer
This is an interesting link I found a while ago. If you are at all a Mac enthusiast (like us) then you might be interested. It’s an hour long TV show about the Mac from TWENTY years ago! The clothing and hair-dos alone are worth clicking the link… š But, besides that, it’s pretty fascinating…
More Oversight?
Argh!!! These people make me so crazy! Why do some people think we can solve all the world’s problems through more regulations and oversight? Yes, the story of the little boy who died on a Disney ride is sad, but it does not mean that we need to slap lots of legal requirements on all…
The Colorado Effect
A few years back, we were planning a return trip to Colorado. We loved our first visit out there, it was just way too short! We pounded out more gigs than we had days there if I recall. Crazy! But every one of them was great, and we met some great people along the way…
Steal From The Poor, Give To The Rich
Don’t you think that it’s interesting that there are late fees charged by services and creditors? And that banks charge fees for “insufficient funds”? Shouldn’t they actually cut you some slack, maybe even give you money instead of taking it if you have “insufficient funds”? Makes sense to me… š I have just been finding…
Galatians [3:5-9]
Continuing with my study of and comments on the book of Galatians… Galatians 3:5-9 I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law of Moses? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ. In the same way,…
Beautiful Scandalous Night
“At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree On that beautiful, scandalous night you and me Were atoned by his blood, and forever washed white On that beautiful, scandalous night” Lyrics from a popular worship song some years back now. We heard the song again this past weekend at an event where we were also singing. So, this morning, I…
Mowing
I mowed the lawn today. I actually really, really enjoy that. It’s a definite change from what I normally do. It’s solitude. I usually listen to an audio book on the iPod as I do it, so my mind is engaged. (or, at times, silence is preferred, and that too is a wonderful break.) And…
