I read about a car that is factory produced, has over 700 horsepower, will go from zero to 60 in about 3.5 seconds, and still averages 23 miles per gallon on the highway. I have seen cars from the 60s and 70s that could get 40-50 miles per gallon. Why does it take a hybrid […]
I am not a fire fighter. but I have watched TV shows and read labels on fire extinguishers enough to know the proper way to put a fire out. Essentially, you have to remove one of the 3 things necessary for a fire to burn: fuel, oxygen, or heat. Something that has been picking at […]
I spend a great deal of time thinking. I am quiet by nature, and only talk a lot when I am in my comfort zone. I am not always able to get engrossed in reading, and I can only twiddle my thumbs for a fixed amount of time, so I think. This isn’t unique to […]
Though I do not have kids of my own, I interact with them at my church, and they need to know answers to tough questions. Explaining sin, death, disasters, and other theologically deep concepts can be hard, especially if you aren’t sure what words to use. Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson hope to help with […]

Imagine taking the trip you’ve been looking forward to for years. You have everything planned out, and are sure you will get through it without a hitch, well, no major ones.

On commercials that involve someone eating a sandwich, they seem to always keep it upright. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten that way. I always turn it upside down. Why? I don’t know and no one cares. On top of that, the food in the commercials does not look like that when you order it. […]

He hopes to earn enough money to pay off a loan, but he ends up in a tangle of mystery while searching for a historical artifact, love, and forgiveness in Cheryl Colwell’s The Proof. Most people will be able […]
Most people have heard of C. S. Lewis. Even if they have never read any of his books, they have heard a quote or reference to him. I had read Mere Christianity several years ago, but never took any time to consider what went into the book. I never thought about the life and circumstances […]
A somewhat ambiguous post title. Don’t be surprised if this isn’t what you thought it was going to be. It is not odd for us to question God, why He does this but not that, or vice versa. We don’t understand His reasons for everything. We think we do, but I don’t believe we are […]
