Chasing Aslan in the Real World
I don't often like being "right". Most of the time I find that I am "right" about the evils in the world, the consequences of sinful behavior, and where the bad stuff is happening before it happens. I don't like it when the World proves my discernment correct, which has made me unhappy about being... Continue Reading →
Today is November 1st. Autumn has begun, the leaves have peaked in their vibrant and varied color, the weather is getting colder, and as happens every October the 31st either Linus Van Pelt has been visited by the Great Pumpkin…or not. The Holiday Season begins in earnest and for many here today this has been... Continue Reading →
My first reading of Beowulf occurred when I was a precocious teenager. I saw the ancient classic with its strange words and high language and figured I’d give it a go. I read the words, surely, but I didn’t really retain much other than that there was a monster named Grendel and a dragon horde... Continue Reading →
I've started to go through a devotional book titled, "The Cup of Your Life". It's a six-week journey to encountering the LORD via the metaphor of a cup. It requires the purchase of a cup of some sort and a dedicated journal to work in. Yesterday I went to a couple of stores to find... Continue Reading →

But my... Continue Reading →
(Read Psalm 23) Thanksgiving. For many, Thanksgiving represents a little more than the beginning of the busy, mad-dash towards Christmas.

After an extremely difficult and costly beginning, they reaped a harvest and gave thanks... Continue Reading →
A week ago I had a strange thought that occurred to me while I was laying flat on my back for a few days. I was on my back due to a pinched nerve I acquire while picking up the lightest thing possible up off the floor. As my friend Mark says, "I'm at that... Continue Reading →
{A couple days ago the worship director at my church asked me to do a meditation on the Christian Characteristic "Peaceful". It didn't take me long to realize that for me...Shalom is a massive subject that I could turn into a sermon or even a book if it was asked of me. By the second... Continue Reading →
One of the things that I’ve realized recently while studying through the Scriptures is that it appears Heaven is not the end. There has been a mindset, for millennia perhaps, within the Christian Church that we must simply endure this physical world until we finally get to heaven where we really belong, and we will...

Like every family this time of year, we have been knee-deep in the nostalgia that comes from binging on beloved Christmas songs and Christmas movies. It’s one of my favorite things about the season. I love experiencing the rush of emotions and memories from hearing Bing Crosby sing out “Silver Bells”, or watching Kermit scatting... Continue Reading →
