Liberace
In 1987 I was a nervous twenty-one year old preacher wannabe. At the time I was living in Commack, on Long Island, as a missionary apprentice. In May of 1996 I moved to New York, along with five others, as a part of the Adventures In Missions Program out of Lubbock, Texas. Our original destination was [...]
He meant well- I think.
For the last umpteen years several youth ministries in the Tulsa area have hosted an event called Kingdom Seekers. The kids who attend are selected to do so by their youth ministers or others. Attendance is also limited to juniors and seniors. It’s an intense weekend meant to encourage and challenge leaders to lead.

Christian Benefits
I love being a Christian. For lots of reasons. You’re one of them. I can’t imagine trying to get by without my brothers and sisters. Yesterday and today I talked for quite a while with one of my favorite people. John Dobbs. The first time we talked for real was at a teen retreat seveal [...]
Where am I going?
I’m really glad that I’m going to heaven. It comforts me in so many ways. Especially the older I get. Sometimes I wonder where I would be today in a career or position if I had made other choices. If I knew then what I know now. I believe I would have made a good [...]

Two thousand years ago Iconjesus was manufactured in a life-size reproduction of a stable. If anyone had told the “proud” parents their “child” was normal they were [...]
And the word became plastic and was displayed among us.
This is part of the series which led me to begin a blog in the first place. If anyone actually reads this all the way through please let me know what you think. I enjoy writing these things and sometimes get so tickled I can’t see straight. However, I admit to having a strange sense [...]
An Ice Storm Blessing
The first day of my new job was terrible. I was nervous. I made silly mistakes. And some of the customers were very unhappy about losing their previous delivery driver. For example, I was asked at a pharmacy, “Do you feel bad that someone lost their job so you could have it?” Ouch.
On my first [...]

For Amy and I the week has been challenging in minor ways. Mostly it’s been inconvenient. Shut-ins, the elderly, the sick and those who suffered damage to cars and homes are suffering far worse than minor inconveniences. And the families of those who lost loved ones due to the ice storm have it worst of [...]
