Failing Fathers and Derelict Dads
I’m a dad. Not a perfect dad, but a dad, nonetheless. I’m a dad who has made a ton of mistakes, and who’s wasted numerous hours wishing for some way to undo the messes I’ve made. I’m a dad who had to look his son in the eye and say I’m sorry, please forgive…

How Much Room Does God Require?
‘Tis the season to share a well read verse. “In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from…

Campaign Rhetoric – Something’s Missing

It finally dawned on me, while watching the republican presidential candidates debate on how to deal with ISIS and make our nation safe, that something huge was missing. Something we see every day on our currency, yet those who are…

God, Guns, and Faith
I understand our nation’s history, her Minutemen, Paul Reveres, etc., but I’m having a hard time reconciling some of the remarks made by my Christian brethren with what Jesus Himself said. “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.” (Matthew 26:52 ESV) “You have heard…
