An Unpopular Paradox

The level of my personal outrage at the suggestion that I may be capable of any given sin or atrocity, is directly proportionate to the level at which I continue to justify myself - and consider myself acceptable before God.

The Da Vinci LOAD!

Worried about folks seeing the Da Vinci Code? Don’t. They won’t be able to make it all the way through. And if they could, they’d be so mind-numbed by the end, they’d be begging for an exciting chance to watch water seep into brick!

My review of this yawn-inspiring film is just a click away.

Mother’s Day - 2006

Every year, I write a Mother’s Day poem for my Mom. Sometimes they are humorous, other times they are more serious or sentimental.

This year, I went more serious.

I had the extraordinary privilege of being raised in a Christian home. Like Timothy, I can say that the faith which dwelt in my Grandmother and my Mother, I can say dwells in me as well.

Love you Mom!

The Secret Message of Jesus

I was going to write a review of this book, but I was too saddened. And, conflicted over how to approach such a clear departure from the faith. The review/response would have to be larger then the book. And to what end?

As I pondered, a friend of mine, Ben Askins, sent me the following quote from C. S. Lewis on an unrelated subject. As I reflected upon it, I realized, it IS the review of this sad book. Why try to improve upon it?

“All theology of the liberal type involves at some point… the claim that
the real behavior and purpose and teaching of Christ came very rapidly to
be misunderstood and misrepresented by his followers, and has been
recovered or exhumed only by modern scholars.”

Pray for Brian.

I’ve fallen - and I want back up!
