Rise From The Ashes of the Mind’s Eye
I feel like this bog post is about three years late, yet the timing is probably best. I was raised in the Church. It was practically in my DNA. At no time did I ever doubt there was a God. Jesus was the answer to the questions of life. I … Continue Reading Rise From The Ashes of the Mind’s Eye
No One Else Is To Blame
Over the weekend, I saw an episode of some show on the ID Disovery Channel. The tragic story (as with every show on the channel) was as follows: A woman decided to give a shot at online dating. She joined a dating website. She met a guy and hit it … Continue Reading No One Else Is To Blame
In Another Time
I am making a confession here. When I was growing up, I have some opinions on things that are not reflective of my views today. In high school and well into my early twenties, I believed in the perversion of homosexuality. What I mean by that is, I believed homosexuality … Continue Reading In Another Time
Lack of Understanding Is Not Rightness
It seems fairly common for people that when they cannot understand how a person feels, they see the problem as being with the other person. I am not speaking about differences of opinions on politics. I am talking about life choices. Big ones. For many of us, the decisions and … Continue Reading Lack of Understanding Is Not Rightness
So…Um, Sorry
About the lack of presence here on the blog. Life has had some big upsets and changes, none really things one wants to discuss, but I may share for folks who are finding their life hitting the same areas. It could certainly be worse, but life is not without it’s … Continue Reading So…Um, Sorry
Things You Do Not Lie About
So, I watched a guy get in trouble for solicitation in a store tonight. What was he soliciting? His Christian Ministry. He was showing brochures that were prominently sticking out of his shirt pocket. He was told not to do so once…and then he did it a second time. He … Continue Reading Things You Do Not Lie About
Nothing Witty To Say
I will be honest…if I were to write a book about the worst parts of Christian music? Carman would probably be the penultimate chapter. I am not a fan (though in my pre-teens I was). Among the host of problems? The weird presentation of Jesus as an ass kicking hero … Continue Reading Nothing Witty To Say

Culture Is Vacuous-And By Culture, I Mean…
Maybe it is just my age…but I am genuinely tierd of listening to people go on about how vacuous our culture is and how it ties to societal ills. Not because our culture has no facets that are vacuous. It certainly does. But usually when people are making that criticism, … Continue Reading Culture Is Vacuous-And By Culture, I Mean…
And In the Beginning…
You might have not noticed…but I was silent much of December. The year ended very poorly. I took an unexpected financial hit, had all sorts of projects, work was not going well…it all came together to make one of my lousiest Decembers ever. So, here we are, 2013. Still a … Continue Reading And In the Beginning…
War Weary World
So…yeah. Friday pretty much is…well…on our minds. One of the worst mass shootings in our national history…and some of the youngest victims. I could really only think of the families and my own nephews. Both are to young for school…but as my oldest nephew creeps towards his second birthday next … Continue Reading War Weary World
Introspective Travels
A sort of repost from almost a decade ago. I watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles early this morning, per my Thanksgiving tradition. I still love this movie, one of John Hughes’ finest moments. The reason it really resonates for me is the two central characters. Candy plays Dell Griffiths so … Continue Reading Introspective Travels
