Purpose: There are a lot of things that come to my mind, things which seem to have some importance. But when considered in light of the Eternal, all of a sudden those same things become much less important or even empty, vain. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. So...
I recently received an email from an old friend. Here’s it what it said: In a way we all have similar decisions to make in life. We want security and in our culture financial security is at the top of the list. But we also find reason to risk our...
I’m not one to use words or concepts lightly. Some people will say it’s a “miracle” when they got a certain job or when their team won a game. It may well have been a miracle, but the term is used too lightly, too recklessly. Creation is a miracle. It’s...

Here’s the scoop: I’ve moved my blog website a couple of times and the databases have not been compatible so I cut-and-paste my posts into this new site. I also looked around for some articles that I’ve written and I’ve posted them here as well. Thus the date of each...
There have only been a few significant events in my life. I don’t remember the day I was born yet that would be one of them. But I vividly remember the day I was born again. And I remember my wedding day. There’s one other significant event that like to...
Improving Your Love Life: Read First Corinthians 13, seriously, read it every day for a week and it will improve your love life. It’s only 13 verses and you can read it in less than one minute, but don’t try to rush through it. Give it a chance to sink...
