Holy-days & Holidays

I had a friend ask me about how a Christian should handle the various holidays and what seems to be bad influence in each.  They specifically mentioned Christmas and Easter, but I tried to answer in a way that would actually relate to something broader. I never get sick of questions from new Christians!!

I Just Caught Up to the Lion

Sometimes I am such a late-adopter. I’ve been hearing all sorts of good stuff about Mark Batterson’s book since it came out in 2006. It’s been on my ‘Read’ list for a long time, and I finally picked up a copy and started reading.

What’s Your Most Valuable Possession?

Some possible answers: Money? Family? Medals/trophies? PS3? Car? Kids?

12 Months

It seems like the older I get, the ways I look at time are changing.
For example, when I was a kid, I thought time would go on forever…

The school year was forever.
December was 78 days long.
Basketball games seemed 120 minutes long.

But now it seems to [...]

What I Said Was Not What I Meant

Whoa! With all the talk about the stumbling economy, looks like the folks @ this Burger King aren’t affected at all! (But if you can sell them at that price, why not?)
The other day I said something and it didn’t come out right. I didn’t mean it to sound like it did. My tone of [...]
