Relationship With God
“3000 Miles Wide And 3 Inches Deep”
According to this article on FoxNews.com, the Pew Forum has some new survey results out, and the statistics are sobering…
You can read the article for yourself, but bottom line: 57% of evangelical church attenders believe that many religions lead to eternal life, even if that conflicts with their traditional evangelical teaching.
In addition, 70% of “religious” […]
Satisfaction
I have to confess that sometimes I get jealous. Of other people. Specifically, the “other” people that have more money than I do.
And it usually happens (of course) when I’m watching television.
After all, isn’t that the holy grail of advertising? To convince someone that they really need something they don’t have? And they do it […]
Thoughts On Suffering
You’ll be reading many thoughts in the blogosphere asking “Why”? It happens every time there’s a senseless death, massive tragedy…something that we deem “just isn’t right”.
One of the bizarre by-products of what we call “celebrity”…regardless if it’s musicians or actors, ’secular’ or ’sacred’…the nature of what they do, and how we view them, inserts them […]
Human Nature? Sinful Nature? Just Plain Selfish?
I put Strong Bad up here because he’s pretty much the epitome of selfish. And because I haven’t got a cartoon of myself. Because I run a close second.

In The World…
I’m thinking about this a lot lately. Politics, entertainment, social issues…how deep do we go in as believers? How much do we make our presence known? And in what way?
The web is already buzzing about this movie coming out called “The Golden Compass”. Written by an avowed atheist, who has stated in interviews how much […]

Who am I?
I’m a sinner, husband, father, artist, disappointment, leader, warrior, man, child, believer, doubter, success, failure, eternal soul, skeptic, teacher, fool, dreamer, lover, adulterer, liar, poet, godly, godless, growing, dying fragment of humanity…
What am I doing here?
I’m here to worship.
I’m here to reflect the grace and love of the One Who rescued me from […]
Mother Teresa’s Crisis Of Faith
Much is being said about the cover story of Time Magazine this week. A new book of Mother Teresa’s letters, “Come Be My Light“, is causing quite a stir due to the content of many of the letters.
The letters show a side of her that many would never have expected…a believer who doubted her call, […]
