A WHACK-A-MOLE ARTICLE (SUBJECTS THAT JUST POP UP IN MY HEAD) The search for the presence of life on other planets is a large and interesting enterprise (https://www.seti.org/). Really interesting is the idea of sentient life, perhaps as advanced or more advanced than humans on Earth. Of course, there are people who believe there’s no […]
Spiritized
Jesus said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” How much life do you want? How much of that life? Answer by answering another question: how much God do you want? Jesus announced, “I am the life” (John 14:6) and prayed, “This is eternal life, that they may know You the […]
Cosplay I would like to see
A WHACK-A-MOLE ARTICLE (SUBJECTS THAT JUST POP UP IN MY HEAD) Cosplay has been around for several years now. Thousands, probably millions, of people participate. Cosplay (kahs-play) is the activity of dressing in a costume of an interesting character, usually from science fiction, fantasy, cartoon, anime, superhero, or video game genres.

The divine design
Jesus said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). One of the most critical aspects of living abundantly is to understand your purpose, what God has in mind for you, his design. My wife and I remodeled our kitchen.

Freed and forgiven
An ancient castle sits in an even more ancient forest. Down deep underneath there’s a dungeon. It’s dark down there; no sunlight has ever shined in. A heavy musty dampness saturates the blackness.

Chosen (Part 1)
Do you know what it’s like to be chosen? You may not fully appreciate it if you don’t know what it’s like to not be chosen. When I was a kid, I was not very athletic, so when we chose teams to play baseball or something, I was always near the bottom of the list […]
Blessing

Peace on earth
Are you familiar with the declaration made by angels who appeared to shepherds when Jesus had been born in Bethlehem? Here it is from various versions of Luke 2:14. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” (KJV) “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to […]
Who is with us?
Some children should be allowed to change their names as soon as they understand what their parents have done to them, like these: Audio Science Denim Derfla (a girl’s name; but read it backwards) Greedy Hellzel (a mashup of Hazel and Hell’s Angel) Jesusangel (no relation to Hellzel) Little Sweetmeat Moo Munpi (pronounced “moon pie”) […]
