What does the end justify?

I ate McDonalds tonight. I know, I know, everybody does at some time or another, and its really not that big of a deal. Well, it is somewhat of a big deal when you are going to compare some folks to McDonald’s in a not so positive way. I actually “enjoyed” my meal; if youContinue reading "What does the end justify?"

Muddy thoughts

I don’t like explaining myself. In fact, I imagine that very few people do. However, if one wants to write and have their writings read publicly you are forced with a decision; the splatter method or the artistic method.I must confess that I have often participated in the splatter method while giving very little thoughtContinue reading "Muddy thoughts"

Lessons From A Football Game: Acting Like a Coach

Lessons from a football game Part 1: Acting Like a Coach Most of the times when I write it is because something about a particular situation has caused me to think. It is my sincere desire that I not necessarily pass judgment, there are many more qualified than I to do such, but rather thatContinue reading "Lessons From A Football Game: Acting Like a Coach"

Who Wants It?

This is my obligatory Georgia Florida post for the year. I must admit that for whatever reason the luster of this game just doesn't quite appeal to me this year as it has in the past.

Why Forwarding – or Reposting – doesn’t work

If you believe in Him there is no need for these stories. It’s true, it might be true, I don’t think it’s true,Continue reading "Why Forwarding – or Reposting – doesn’t work"

Fasting, Legalism, & Grapes.

A lack of relationship with God leads to legalism to lend some feeling to our “Christian” lives. In 1 Samuel 14 we follow the story of Saul as he finds himself needing to prepare for battle with the Philistines. Saul finds himself needing to create an experience and issues a decree that the Israelites shouldContinue reading "Fasting, Legalism, & Grapes."

Football is here!!

Since college football starts this week AND due to the fact that I will be making a foray back into the land of Excuseville (as Central Florida will soon be known absent Spurrier, Meyer, and Tebow) I thought to help folks remember the true spirit of football I would put up an old post. ManyContinue reading "Football is here!!"

Picture book, anyone?

At some point in their life all of our children have loved books. Lilah, our youngest, is no exception and may love them more than any of our other children have at this point in their lives. I was reminded of her love for books while driving in the car with her yesterday and IContinue reading "Picture book, anyone?"
