My friend John is a business owner and fellow Christian. Both his parents are righteous devoted missionaries traveling the world spreading God’s word. John is not only bible savvy, he’s a solid witness himself. Earlier this week during a conversation, John said something that struck me. “God blesses me with skills so I can make […]

God blessed Elizabeth and I with a most wonderful summer weekend even though we were both witnesses to pure hatred brought on by the devil. Early Saturday morning after parking the minivan at Hyde Park I was victim of unbelievable slander. A man driving a shinny new Ford Expedition SUV asked me to move my […]

I’ve read that by the time our life on earth is over, we will have spent close to one year waiting at stop lights, two years stuck in traffic or sitting in public transit and three years waiting in line for one thing or another. Why not spend that time with God? Turning life’s most […]

Our close friend Stephan is a financial advisor. Twice a year when I become eligible to participate in my 401K, he lists at least a dozen reasons why I should open the account.

The bible is a collection of unverifiable stories assembled by religious fanatical leaders who were simply trying to keep people in line and fill the minds of the population […]

“This man should be ashamed of himself” I exclaimed as a shiny new Hummer drove up in the Calvary Chapel parking lot this Sunday shortly before the service. I immediately asked my friend Will what he thought about such obvious excess, his response continues to trouble me… It turns out Will would love to own […]

Gracie has been running a fever for two days now and it looks like Elizabeth and I will be spending Memorial Day at the pediatrician. Being parents sure has changed our lives… One of the biggest changes involves our desire to care for our child and answer her every need. We think much less about […]

“Do you think Christ will come back in your lifetime?” To this age old question, most people I ask answer “yes”.
