The pro basketball championship series has ended and with it, another season. Two main lessons/takeaways for me from this season-ending, summer-summoning series (one of the many great benefits of Bible memory especially on a regular, systematic basis is that literally EVERYTHING in life reminds one of something in the Bible, EVERY event big or small […]
Packets of taco sauce are a terrible thing to waste. Before I sold my only vehicle in order to finish building this website, I used to visit the Taco Bell drive-thru every week or two and they’d usually give me a few packets of sauce too many so I just got into the habit of […]
This is the first post of a new series called “These are a few of my favorite…” While life and society and culture couldn’t possibly be deemed to have been perfect when that phrase was musically made famous, it was clearly a LOT CLOSER to perfect than today in many, many a way (stronger morals […]
“No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, BUT with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13) “Do not be overcome with […]
This is the first post of a new series. I remember the very first time I attended a certain megachurch, one of the most famous in the nation and indeed world.

And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with […]
I’m certainly not a “neat freak” but do enjoy cleanliness but only spend as little time cleaning as needed (Ephesians 5:16). One such occurrence was the other day, and I noticed that while on one of my marathon, hours-long jog-n-walks (okay, mostly walk) that morning, despite my careful efforts I must’ve stepped in some of […]
As noted in a prior post, three years ago I sold my only car mainly so I could finish building this website but buttressed by the fact that I was sure I wouldn’t mind the extra exercise that “biking it” would bring, that this would be wonderful and a welcome change. (Warning: going carless isn’t […]
[Usual disclaimer for this Series: when it comes to prayer, it’s not about the words, not about one’s mouth but rather one’s heart.
