New Television Show “V”: Aliens Among Us

Every now and then I like to take a brief detour.  There is a new show on television titled “V” which I have begun watching.  Christianity Today has done an interesting interview with the executive producer.  Are there secret messages the show is seeking to spread?  Is this show attacking religion?  I find that science [...]

Here Is What A Miracle Looks Like

Our former Pastor is Oden Fong.  He and his wife Sam have three young boys.  Their youngest is Seth and he is six months old.  He has been in the hospital a lot as he has had a liver transplant.  He’s been through tough times.  God has allowed him to start recovering.  Please pray this [...]

International Visitors

What do you do when folks aren’t posting?  You put up this article just because you can!    As I check statistics for this blog daily I have always been surprised by the number of international visitors that drop by.  I have seen where some have converted the entire blog into their native language [...]

Saturday Night Live – Singers & Songwriters

I’ve been wanting to do another week of songs from my youth as so many of them deeply influenced me.  I wrote an article some time back about how I believe God used this music to soften my heart and have it play a role in my coming to Christ.  Mary Travers of Peter, Paul, [...]

Captive: Streams In The Desert, September 13th 2009

“As I was among the captives by the river of
Chebar, the heavens were opened and I saw visions
of God . . . and the hand of the Lord was there
upon me” (Ezekiel 1:1,3).
 
There is no commentator of the Scriptures half so
valuable as a captivity. The old Psalms have
quavered for us with a new pathos as [...]

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

Haven’t sat down to ramble for some time so since the thought came to me hours ago I’m ready to spout whatever comes to mind.
If Pedro, Cliff Lee, and Cole Hamels pitch well the Phillies may just repeat.  It would be cool to see someone like the Dodgers or Angels do it though.  I don’t [...]

Prayer Requests & Praise Reports September 4th

“Do we realize that there is nothing the devil dreads so much as prayer? His great concern is to keep us from praying. He loves to see us “up to our eyes” in work—provided we do not pray. He does not fear because we are eager and earnest Bible students—provided we are [...]

Take The Time To Be Amazed

Our oldest son sent this to me.  I could watch it again and again.  What a powerful medium art can be.  I do hope you give it a look.  I also added a second video.  Allan

Our Son And New Daughter

I just love this picture of our son Stephen and his bride Christina.  I thought since I run this blog I can post the picture! 
Proverbs 18:22  He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.

Ripples- Life Events That Harm The Ones We Love

I have been to perfectly calm lakes in the past where the surroundings seem perfect.  Away from work.  Away from the city.
Away from traffic.  You get the idea.  Something many of us have done when we happen upon a calm place of water is  search out flat, smooth, rocks.  You take those rocks and skip [...]
