We seem to live in a generation that is once again taking hold of the idea of having a creative mind. I know living in New Zealand, this society wants all people, especially the young, to learn to think for themselves and to see that nothing is impossible with a little imagination. Children have a … More Imagine The Unimagined
My family has been away for 3 weeks. I need them in my life. They make me smile and laugh. They bring joy in my life to a whole new level. When they are gone I miss them and all I can think is “come home soon” and then I count the days till they … More Come Home Soon
Is it just me or does God and Jesus always seem like they show up late to things in the Bible? He was late helping a couple have a baby (they were like 100 & 90). I mean he was late saving his people from Egyptian slavery. He was late helping the man with a … More JEJIT (Just Enough Just In Time)
Pretty soon she will be all grown up. She has no idea what affect she will have on people. She has no idea what affect she has on me. I wonder how she will use her beauty? I wonder how she will use her influence? Will I have taught her enough? Will I have shown … More The Age of Innocence
I don’t remember all the details of my wedding day. But not for the reasons you might think. My memory has faded out some details because I was so focused on not messing or not fainting.

I mean a big ole’ plop of poop right there on his skateboard in a tightly formed ball. His clothes were still on! How did he do that?!? … More Skateboards, Poop & A Handful of Patience
Now in the midst of Jesus revolutionary message about a new kind of kingdom, he also brings a message to his own people. The people of God, the people of Israel, the Jews. If Jesus’ political message was about a kingdom that will rule forever, then his message to the Jews was about a kingdom … More Spiritual Vertigo: Jesus vs. Jew
No, this is not a blog about little fury foxes that some find to be really cute, especially when they make friends with hound dogs. This is about relationships and the little things that can creep in and ruin them if we are not careful. In the book of Song of Songs, Solomon says this: … More Little Foxes
Growing up I heard a lot of people talk about the separation between “Church & State”. Naturally hearing this all the time I later in my life assumed that they got this idea from the Bible. I assumed that Jesus never dealt with politics in his ministry (“Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and give … More Spiritual Vertigo: Jesus vs. Empire
