How do You Fight Your Goliaths?

Even if you’ve never cracked a Bible you probably know the story of David and Goliath, the little shepherd boy who slays a giant with a slingshot. I’m excited for the animated version of this story in the not-too-distant future. If you want to see the trailer of that movie click <here>. You can watch […]

God is my penpal

My assignment was to write a letter from God to me following the format of the letters written to the seven churches in the book of Revelation, chapters two and three. I love these letters. You can click those hyperlinks back there and read them yourself if you like. If you have never read the […]

Should This Be Chapter One?

Feb 2014 Copied from my Facebook post on my church’s page: I had an interesting day. It took me twice as long as it should have to detail the bike and take the seat off to install my new bags, so I was aggravated. Halfway through it my new neighbor came to ask if I […]

Does God Have Feelings?

That question is a direct quote from today’s pages in THE GOD OF YOUR STORY, by  Brian Hardin.  I purchased the book for my sister, for Christmas last year. Then I decided to get one for myself. Published in 2019, it is his commentary at the end of each day’s readings from the Old and […]

My Reason for Being Here

This little book I started reading a while ago was co-authored by three seasoned and knowledgeable Christians. The creator of the multi-season, crowd-funded series called THE CHOSEN is one of those authors. The book coincides with season one of the series and is jam-packed with lines that give me pause. The passage I will reference […]
