The phone rang. On the other end was a daughter’s desperate plea. “Dad is dying. And he’s backslidden.” His parents had been pastors. And they were gone. (“To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”) They had been praying for their son a long, long time. And can you just […]
On a Dragon, a Boy, Sinners and Forgiveness
January 6, 2012 by
“Sleeping on a dragon’s hoard with greedy, dragonish thoughts in his heart, he had become a dragon himself.” In the Narnia series book, The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader by C. S.

2012, the Mayans, the Media and Collapse of the Planet

Listen
December 9, 2011 by
“‘A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.’” (John 10:5) I was 15 when I started learning guitar. And what I would do is I would listen. You might think that odd. “Listen? To play guitar? That doesn’t make sense.” Yes, it […]
