I’m a total geekhead and have the athletic abilities of a slug, but I have a circle of friends that I got involved with a couple of years ago that gets together every once in a while for some fun and games. Today we spent several hours in the glorious afternoon sunshine playing softball. Skill [...]
Have you seen those old Looney Tunes cartoons where someone, probably Bugs Bunny, says in a panicked and breathless voice: “Is there a doctor in the house? Is there a doctor in the house?” (My favorite joke is when a fake person in the theater stands up and replies “I’m a doctor” to which Bugs [...]
Can we take a moment to reflect on the significance of these latest world events? (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, ooo boy. Google it.) Things are looking mighty bleak in that part of the world right now. With the Iranian people subjected to humiliation and hardship due to harsh autocratic rule and [...]
Well folks, I’m still alive, God is still good, and I did launch the Web site today (Friday, although I’m posting this at midnight on Saturday). Praise God! We’re still tweaking some things here and there, still getting our blogging team together, but the basics of it are DONE, and I’m just so excited to [...]

I just read this story about the brouhaha surrounding a German zoo’s handling of a polar bear cub, and all I could do is shake my head in dismay. Some animal rights activists think the cub would be better off dead than raised by humans apart from its mother! Yes, you read right: it’s better [...]
I was recently listening to a sermon by Britt Merrick called “Getting Through the Impossible”. Britt’s a great guy and an old friend of the family (he’s not old, but our family’s friendship is old), and I always enjoy hearing his passionate exposition of Old Testament stories and how they have prophetic impact on our [...]
We Christians don’t just have a physical earth to deal with now, we have to deal with virtual planets that exist only in people’s minds and on servers’ hard drives. Preaching the Gospel and sharing the Love of Christ isn’t just something we can expect will take place in physical buildings. Of course people have [...]
I got back from Vancouver, B.C. a few days ago, and I’ve been super-busy working on a welcome video spot for my church’s upcoming Web site. Since we’re on a shoestring budget (i.e., $0), and I’m crazy, I’ve been doing the sound, the shooting, the editing, and the music (and the Web site for that [...]
