Ritzy Lunch Experience
Some people might call Ritzy Lunch an old hotdog joint, while others may label it a dive. It’s not fancy enough for some, and too old fashioned for others. Ritzy Lunch is clean, but its tiles, walls, and clock are stained from years and years of patrons, and cooks, puffing away on their favorite smoke.…

Jesus Is The Reason For WHICH Season?
Jesus is the reason for WHICH season? You’re probably aware of the two words which have the potential of creating Facebook wars, lawsuits, disgruntled shoppers, and nasty comments from a whole assortment of people who don’t necessarily agree with your brand of religion.

That First Morning
I’m gonna miss my friend Ross. I’m going to think about him every time I see a garbage truck, or someone playing a guitar left handed, or pull in my fishing line with a big, ol’ catfish hooked on the end. I’m going to miss his exuberance for Jesus, and his love for kids. He…

Prosperity Gospel
You know what? I am really getting tired of preachers who hypocritically blast the “prosperity gospel”. Prosperity gospel? That’s what they like to call it. It’s true, there are definitely people who live for the buck. They treat the word of God like it’s their good luck charm. But that’s nothing new. Paul even had…

Let The Change Begin
“Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.” (1 John 3:2 NLT) A future hope? You bet! But so much more. It’s…
