Scared Out Of Hell
I remember the time, way back in 1975, that my soul cried out to God. A God I didn’t know, wasn’t sure if I wanted to know Him, and didn’t pay much attention to what people were telling me about Him. You know, all the “God loves you” jargon. No, I didn’t cry out […]

Have you ever been inside a maximum security prison? I have. Years ago I visited a young man from our home town. After driving about three hours to his place of incarceration, I was able to spend about 45 minutes with him. At least he was able to have visitors. Just being inside those cold, […]

Hell, NO!
“That movie scared the hell out of me!” Oh? “I had a hell of a good time…” Really? “Hell no, I won’t go!” Is that so. It appears to me, though I could be wrong, that the people who talk about hell the most are the folks who don’t believe in it. They tell someone […]

Rest In Peace?
“Rest in peace”, the preacher said, as he closed his bible. What did he mean? “R.I.P.” the plastic Halloween tombstone reads. What does it mean? “Rest in peace”, says the atheist, agnostic, and the person who doesn’t know what they are. What are they really saying? Does the person who adamantly opposes even the very […]
