As a new father to be, my goal is to be as prepared as possible for the monumental task of raising a “man child” into a responsible adult. I say responsible adult, but what I really mean is someone who realizes our temporary condition here on earth and that there is no higher calling, but [...]

This is a quick “by ear” arrangement of this great hymn inspired by my wife who suggested that I learn how to play it. Thanks babe!
This was my first take, and although it’s not perfect, it does the job.

Popular culture has some pretty strict standards for being considered a “beautiful” person. Advertising, television, and music all boldly proclaim that your body need to be primped, brushed, waxed, tanned, cut, and anorexic before you will be successful in life.
What a shame.
This incredible pressure from popular culture has sharply increased our rates of eating disorders [...]

Did you ever wonder why God decided to leave us sinful people here on this earth and send his son to die for us? I mean, he could have easily just scrapped the universe and started over right? That’s one of the many odd questions that really don’t matter much here on earth, but will [...]

We’ve all heard this phrase from time to time – especially when growing up when your brother or sister gets the last donut in the box for breakfast. As time passes we all learn that life isn’t fair.
Becoming a Christian doesn’t change the fact that life isn’t fair. In fact, being a Christian can make [...]

Ok that sounds a little ridiculous. I’ll admit it, but it’s not what you think. True, I believe that atheists should be converted, but even if you were set in your God denying ways, there are still some great benefits from being involved in a church body.

After being a Christian for several years, I have come to realize that there are real tangible benefits to being a child of God. Not counting be saved from hell, there is a certain peace of mind to be gained by knowing that at all times the Lord is in control.
Isa 26:3-4  Thou wilt keep [...]
