Spring Already Sprung, But the Job’s Not Done
We are moving toward spring on the calendar and the signs of it are around us even here in the frozen north. There is a small stream flowing alongside the curb that says the temperatures are just warm enough to allow snow to melt. There are daily flood updates from the Fargo and Devils Lake [...]
Grace for the Journey and Wisdom from the Battles – A Review of Surviving Sexual Brokenness by Thom Hunter
Since getting reacquainted and in the loop at SBC Voices, I have come to appreciate each time Thom Hunter shares a new post. His writing is always penetrating and frequently takes a tack that few will ever ponder or dare to do, usually because it is born of personal and often painful experience of the [...]
It’s Only Natural
We are a couple of weeks beyond the initial tragedy in Japan from the earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear issues (which are still ongoing), but that means that multiple stories about “why did this happen?” are everywhere now. FoxNews reported a poll that shows that nearly 4 in 10 Americans believe that natural disasters are [...]
My Kidneys Were Right All Along
Every once in a while, I see one of those helpful bits of health advice about drinking a lot of water. I even tried it once as part of a health challenge at work a few years ago, because I didn’t want to hurt my team. Turns out that the “water quota” is a misunderstanding. [...]
King for a Day, Thanks to My Little Princess!
Sunday morning as I was getting ready for church, I realized that I didn’t have the shirt or even the pants that I wanted upstairs; so I put on the bathrobe, that I rarely ever wear, and trudged down the stairs to collect the desired attire. Upon seeing me, my daughter shrieked with glee and [...]
Unapologetic Overprotective Dad on the Loose
Maybe it is because my little girl turns 7 tomorrow, or maybe it is the fact that my oldest boy is less than a year shy of teenager status; either way, I am putting up fences in the best sense of the word with a lot more intentionality and speed than I ever did before. [...]
Thomas Jefferson – Heretic? Yes. Atheist? Think Again.
Interesting story from over the weekend that fits within the stream of recent posts on this blog. One of Thomas Jefferson’s self made “bibles” is going on display in the Smithsonian soon. In many ways this is hardly unique. A lot of people do their own “cut and paste” version of Scripture, but very few [...]
When the Queen Kills the King – Check Please
From the title you might be guessing that this is a post about chess. Sorry, but no. It is a title about bad sermons with an attempt at a witty headline, but it got you this far so you might as well keep reading. It is said that theology is the “Queen of the sciences,” [...]
Elementary, My Dear Watson
In other funny news for the week, there is a “scientific” study that has concluded that religion will go extinct in as many as 9 countries. There is a much more biting critique of this study available at Vox’s blog, but I wanted to throw in a couple of extra nuggets for fun. First thing [...]
Fun Stuff for Friday
I have a couple of funny things to toss in for the weekend ahead. You can be the judge of whether or not it is funny sad or haha funny. I tend to have a dark sense of humor at times. First is the amazing luminescence of our fellow citizens in the US. Apparently it [...]
