I recently discussed the wildfires currently raging in Canada and how, by no fault of our own, the poor air quality and haze created thereby ended up affecting us in America, sometimes severely (worst air quality ever recorded in some cities, etc.), and what a great illustration it is in terms of how the sins […]
I recently discussed the wildfires currently raging in Canada and how, by no fault of our own, the poor air quality and haze created thereby ended up affecting us in America, sometimes severely (worst air quality ever recorded in some cities, etc.). Guess what. It’s baaaaack. Not so severely as last month but back nonetheless, […]
Spiritually speaking… Reading the Bible is like putting on a pair of eyeglasses. Studying the Bible is like getting LASIK eye surgery. Memorizing the Bible is like getting x-ray vision. . Share this post with, well, EVERYONE! .
I don’t think I’ve ever done a “(somewhat) deep dive” on something other than the Bible… but I’m doing so in this case for a song because it’s so full of, so overflowing with biblical truths (as per the Bible verses in parentheses below), not just beautiful music and lyrics… if you haven’t yet listened […]
Children have long sought the attention, audience, and approval of their parents… but like never before in my lifetime, and alarmingly, parents now seek their children’s. And friends literally live for their friends. (Or, in the comparatively new age of all things digital including Facebook, their “friends”.) Students for teachers. Mentees for mentors.

While on a walk just now, I saw the strangest sight: a guy riding bicycle … while smoking a cigarette. And the thought that immediately hit me was “Man, that DOESN’T FIT!” Smoking a cigarette and riding a bike just don’t seem to go together, to put it mildly. Likewise, sin DOESN’T “FIT” in a […]
I’ve mentioned in past posts that one of my favorite activities is taking long, several-mile, multi-hour walks as those have been and continue to be some of my sweetest “alone times” with the Lord, just thinking about and listening and speaking to Him about all sorts of things: His Word, the Bible; praise items and […]
I think that this fourth follow-up post in just the past few weeks alone will be sufficient to properly press the point and bring it home: one never, ever knows for sure when one will cease to exist in this earthly realm and slip into eternity, into one’s eternal destination where he or she will […]
In the two prior “Follow-up” posts published in recent days, I wrote this: “In the previous post I mentioned the thousands of people who simply showed up to their office on September 11, 2001, and four college students in Idaho who simply went to sleep for the night and three in Virginia who simply boarded […]
