Chasing Aslan in the Real World
When I was a child, I was taught that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was a bad thing. How could it be otherwise? God told us that just touching it meant death. The Tree was a test of whether or not Adam and Eve really loved God and would trust Him... Continue Reading →
"And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden." So the pattern that would plague, and continues to plague, all humanity begins. To me... Continue Reading →
Recreation. Re-creation. Take time. These were the three words I heard while I was in a time of meditation with the Lord this morning. I had been directed, by someone very close to me, that I might want to go seek the LORD. Something was pushing them to push me, and I’m so very glad... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago, one of my Big Brothers in the LORD stood here and gave a communion meditation. I can’t remember which, so please forgive me, but he said something that has stuck with me this entire Christmas season. He mentioned that the shadow of the cross is cast across the manger.

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 →
It has been a while since I’ve given you, dear reader, any words and especially a long while since I’ve given you anything Genesis related. My family has been on the road having quite a long and busy vacation. There has been hiking, hot springs soaking, surviving temperatures in the triple digits, and more driving... 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 →
