When I was in training as a Marine, I remember one particularly grueling exercise where we were deposited in the center of Dartmoor, England. We were told to make our way on foot to a certain point on the map more than fifty rugged miles away. As we had done a similar journey the previous day,

I remember once while I was visiting on a Saturday, it was around noon and I had been at it for about three hours. I decided to stop at a trailer that sat back from the Highway a good distance. When I knocked at the door of the home, a man in his late thirties came to the door and said come in. I

As I was preparing for Sunday School, I caught a few minutes of a talk show that was honouring fathers. A young woman was struggling to explain what she thought a father’s job was: meeting needs around the home, doing things, fixing things. The commentator summarized her fuzzy thoughts in one word:

As a kid, I loved this Gilligan’s Island! I would jump off of the school bus, race across the yard, bolt through the door and down the hall to dump my books off on my bed, get back to the living room just in time to plop on the floor 12 inches away from the screen (yes mom, I know I’ll hurt my

I remember Deb and I going on a cruise and there we slot machines on the entertainment deck. She had always wanted to try one. So, having seen some of the devastation a gambling addition can cause I said, “Take $2 (I know I”m a huge spender) and play until you run out.” So, she did and about her

As I prepared for my sunday sermon and I struggled with my own hardships and how to describe the security that we have in Christ, I began to observe the spider. Every week I would faithfully rid the house of cobwebs. And every week I would find more. And I felt in my heart that as Christains we

If I plant some zucchini seeds, I will eventually, Lord willing, get a plant that flowers. Some people batter and fry the flowers. But if the flowers are left alone, then will produce zucchinis. And inside each zucching are many, many seeds. So the mature Christian flowers, but also reproduces.

I’M NOT GENTLE, I’M ANGRY
"Of the seven deadly sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and

When I was in the media, I spent a week in Culion, Palawan. In fact, it was a holy week. Yes, that’s part of Palawan. But I don’t think you would like to go there. Culion was a leper colony. That’s where we quarantine or exile people afflicted with leprosy or Hansen’s disease in the past.
When I
