I was in high school when I first saw the movie It’s a Wonderful Life. I watched it with my girlfriend, and we just watched it again with our children last night. A local theater had a showing, so we got to enjoy this masterpiece on the big screen. I’ve identified with George Bailey sinceContinue reading “It’s a Wonderful Life”

A Man Skilled in His Work
“Do you see a man skilled in his work?He will stand before kings;He will not stand before obscure men.” Proverbs 22:29 I got frustrated with myself this week. Consider this post as bread, fresh from the oven. I learn things in real time, too. I’ve been infatuated with the idea of being a pastor sinceContinue reading “A Man Skilled in His Work”
An Apologetic for Thanksgiving
“Let’s go around the table and say what we’re thankful for.” At no other time in the whole year will a secular person utter these words. Thanksgiving is a special time, not something to be overlooked! Here’s the beauty of it all: WHO are they thankful TO? You have to be thankful TO SOMEONE forContinue reading “An Apologetic for Thanksgiving”
On the Sabbath
I don’t want to get into the nitty gritty on what’s allowed or not allowed on the Sabbath. I do believe there IS a sabbath however, and that’s what I’d like to type about this week. I became convinced of the existence of the Sabbath about a decade ago. At the time, I was treatingContinue reading “On the Sabbath”
Live Like It’s True
I spent 18 years as a non-Christian. My formative years were spent in darkness, though I did have much light. I was taught to work hard, to treat others with respect, and to do many things myself. I am very grateful for the upbringing I had under my parents. They weren’t perfect, and they stillContinue reading “Live Like It’s True”
On Roles
I made a chart a while back for New Year’s resolutions. (I no longer do New Year’s resolutions; instead, if I find something to improve, I just do it whenever.) Twas a simple chart. I listed all the roles I had on the left, then a way to get better on the right. I wonderContinue reading “On Roles”
Consuming vs. Creating
I owe quite a lot to podcasts. Pretty much all of any perceived wisdom I have came from listening to godly men talk about the Bible, right from the comfort of my phone. I learned about exegesis, hermeneutics, science, economics, fathering, being a husband, apologetics; you get the ideas. I owe so much to theContinue reading “Consuming vs. Creating”
Potluck Philosophy
Christians should be the best at potlucks. Well, we should be the best at everything. No one else has the Spirit like we do, and the motivation to honor the one true God like we do. But guys, potlucks are in the Christian wheelhouse! And it’s not only because we practice this particular skill quiteContinue reading “Potluck Philosophy”
Blind Mind’s Eye
Guys, apparently, I have a blind mind’s eye. The internet (and maybe even scientists) calls it Aphantasia. With a name that cool, you’re expecting something really cool. Even blind mind’s eye sounds cool. Here’s what it means: I can’t picture things in my head. Specifically, it is really hard for me to read fiction andContinue reading “Blind Mind’s Eye”
Dumb Obedience
The wife coined a term about a year ago. She was asked by a friend, “How come you and Kyle seem so mature though your parents weren’t Christians?” Obviously humbled by the question, the wife simply stated, “It was really just dumb obedience.” [A quick note on our parents. We pray regularly for their salvation;Continue reading “Dumb Obedience”
