Sometime readers come to a blog, a post, a story, or a book and don’t have a positive reading experience. It may be all encompassing or just the frustration that while they liked some things they read other parts were dissappointing. We all experience this in our reading life. Some people say they feel cheated…

Revival

If your faith needs a lift today, watch this video…better yet, watch it on your knees and like the young man in the barn talked about in the presentation, pray with him asking, “God are my hands clean?” I know the answer you will get to that prayer, which means you must follow it with…

Beginnings Rewrite Finished
by • • 0 Comments
The Blog update is complete, so I thought I would let you know that I have finished the editing/rewrite of the first book in my Moses chronicle: Beginnings. Among other things, I added about 3500 words, revamped much of the dialog in the beginning, which was woefully lacking, and reworked the climatic debate. I will…

I Always Knew I Was a Bit Spicy
by • • 0 Comments
One of the niceties that separates us from our historical ancestors is our use of condiments on our food. We have many possibilities to spice up our daily fare from the simple salt and pepper to the common mayonnaise, mustard, catchup, and for the adventurous, hot sauce. I can’t say I was surprised when I…

Falling Waters

We went to Pennsylvania this weekend to visit friends and go to two of Frank Lloyd Wright’s houses. We spent Saturday at Falling Waters and Sunday at Kentuc Knob (for a later posting). Falling Waters was unique for its time and is considered one of Wright’s masterpieces. It changed the course of residential architecture, being…

I have been working on my book, trying to finish the first novel in my Moses series. Between that and work, there hasn’t been a lot of time left for other things. One thing did imping itself. Sunday evening my wife came into the room and said, “Moses died.” At first, I was a little…

Lent 2008: Day 19 – I’ve Been Tagged
by • • 3 Comments
Almost half of the way through Lent and I’ve been tagged by Starving Econ Grad over at Bounded Irrationality on a rather strange meme. It has been a while since I did one of these, but then Lent is the time for sacrifice… 😉 1) I’m supposed to grab the nearest book and turn to…

Lent 2008: Day 18 – Larry Norman Dies
by • • 0 Comments
Larry Norman, a pioneer Christian rock musician, died on Sunday from a long-standing heart condition. God rest your soul, Larry. I grew up in the faith with Larry Norman. When I first came to Christ, the local Christian FM station played the old 40’s-50’s style ballads, when they played music at all. The AM stations…

Christian Carnival 199: The Knowing God Version
by • • 9 Comments
Welcome to the 199th Christian Carnival. The theme for this week’s carnival is taken from J. I. Packer’s life changing book, Knowing God. Though many people find the book difficult (read intellectually demanding), most of it was originally written as a series of articles for popular consumption in Evangelical Magazine. Maybe the expectations that Christians…
