The Holy Family. I’m talking about none other than the Virgin named Mary, Joseph her husband and the Child called Christ. And I guess the fourth important lesson the Holy Family affords us (the first lesson in A ‘God’ Thing, the second lesson in Marriage Made in Heaven and the third lesson in The Least […]
Test Your Knowledge of Christmas
Sing with me: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingle belling, And everyone telling you, ‘Be of good cheer,’ It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” (Hey, you did that good!) And I just can’t help but sing, my friends. The Christmas spirit’s got a hold of me and […]
Swept Away by the Dawn Treader
If you’ve had the chance to read any of The Chronicles of Narnia books by C. S. Lewis (there are seven in all), you’ll know there are many different ways to enter that magical land. In The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, it’s the latter (a closet of coats) that’s the entry point. In […]
The Least Likely Place (redux)
The Holy Family. I’m talking about none other than the Virgin named Mary, Joseph her husband and the Child called Christ. And I guess the third important lesson the Holy Family affords us (the first lesson in A ‘God’ Thing and the second lesson in Marriage Made in Heaven) is this: Let’s not overlook what […]
They Didn’t Care

A “God” Thing (redux)
The Holy Family. I’m talking about none other than the Virgin named Mary, Joseph her husband and the Child called Christ. And I guess the first important lesson the Holy Family affords us is this: Be careful. That thing you’re being critical of just might be a “God” thing. And when you really think about […]
When We Lose Ourselves (Identity Theft)
I had a dream the other night. I didn’t remember it until I went out jogging later in the morning. That’s when God brought it back to me. I was in the house of a former friend from my school days. I was young (like I was back then). And the thing that happened is […]
Let There Be Nothing Left – Today
“And [Jesus] answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.’” (Luke 10:27) I want to talk about leaving it all on the field ~ leaving it all on the field today. […]
