College-Bound Vulnerabilities

I am once again [2008, 2009] in Pine Mountain, Georgia, teaching the students at Impact 360, a 9-month, gap-year program that takes top-notch Christian high school graduates and prepares them to be impact leaders for Christ in the university and life.
I love being around these young students. They are bright, energetic, love the Lord, and [...]

Tomato Soup As Far As the Eye Can See!

When our kids were little, I had the responsibility of putting them to bed.
One of the stories that I used to read to them was “McBroom’s Zoo”. If you’ve never read it, it would be impossible to explain. However, a piece of it has to do with a tornado that ripped through the McBroom’s [...]

Fiery Trials

The last two weeks have been filled with a lot of issues. I don’t know if they rise to the level of Peter’s “fiery trials” or not (1 Peter 4:12), but they have been close to overwhelming at times.

This is a photo from my recent “hunting” trip to the mountains. I am posting it with [...]

Blessing and Curses: Response to Gus

Gus wrote this:
I am troubled by the premise of your new show that in stories filled with pain and pathology—things just aren’t working very well—it is most likely because of defying God’s design and when things are going well it is most likely because of an alignment “with” God’s design. In my understanding this is [...]

The Scars of Life

It wasn’t a very happy Christmas. At least as far as Michael was concerned. How could he be just a teenager and already dread Christmas so much? All of his friends seemed to find this time of year exciting. Mainly, he supposed, because of all the stuff they would find to be theirs on Christmas [...]

It’s the Dog’s Fault & Other Potpourri

***Speaking of Global Warming…
I recall my good friend, Grant, pointing me to a book with a catchy title: “Time to Eat the Dog”. The New Zealand authors are “sustainable living” experts at Victoria University and they calculated the “carbon foot print” of owning and feeding the average-sized pet pooch. They published the results and it [...]

How Quickly We Atrophy & Need “Discipline”

“Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews [...]

How I Need My Gastrocnemius!

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1
Okay, I know what you will say. And I probably shouldn’t even tell you. But, it’s [...]

An Appeal to the President and Congress

To the President and the Congress of the United States of America: An Appeal
As Christians and those who base our beliefs upon the truth claims in the Old and New Testaments, we present this appeal before you today.
We believe that life is sacred and just as the Declaration states that all men are created [...]

Go To Bed Blue?

“This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118: 24
Did you go to bed blue? Did you go to bed sad?
That was yesterday.
This is today.
There is something grand about a new day. There is something refreshing in the first rays of the sun [...]
