I came up with a new app for smartphones, and maybe even as a standalone device. I want to call it iAYE, but there may be complications. I believe it will revolutionize the way people pray. All you do is speak or type your prayer request, and you get an instantaneous “YES!” Imagine, do matter […]
We know the story of the Nativity quite well, that Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem. What about the events that surrounded and led up to His birth? What occurred then? That is where Asher of Bethlehem takes up the story. The book is prefaced with an introduction that explains it being […]
I tried to read The Pleasures of God by John Piper on several different occasions. I had read one of his books before, but this one, I just couldn’t get into. I have no problem with the topic, and what I read seemed right, all I can figure is that it is not written in […]
I just finished another book (please hold your applause) that held a deeper message than I originally thought. Anytime I read a book by an author that I haven’t heard of, I tend to put a wall up of cynicism so that I don’t get misled. Not that this wall is always effective, but it […]
Time for an unscheduled conundrum. With recent events that have been going on, I was thinking a bit about when is the right time to let someone or something go? How long do you chase someone (not like a nerdy kid trying to date a cheerleader chase) before you back off? How long are you […]

There are two cats in our house. We feed them and take care of them, but they have their own routines, so I’m not sure that I can say we own them. If you have any cat experience, you know what I mean. One is a plain black cat, the other is a mackerel tabby […]
What would happen if we once more realized that the Church is not a place, or activity, or a group made up of experts? What changes would that bring about? What is stopping us? Those question make up the focus point in David Platt’s book, A Radical Idea. What if we saw the Church, and […]
Many of the fancier gadgets sold on TV come with a lifetime warranty. Many times, they promise coverage even if you do something dumb and mess it up. Though I haven’t looked at all the warranties, nearly all of them that I have looked at have some limitations. I wonder what it would be like […]
When I eat a salad, I often find myself in a quandary. Which do I put on first, the bacon bits or the dressing? It gets worse when I have both imitation bacon bits and real bacon bits to put on. The simple matter will cause me to stand and think about which choice to […]
