Christians in the Media
I’m sick of the way they portray Born Again Christians on TV dramas and sitcoms. Law and Order is a great show, but they got it wrong. Then again, if they didn’t have a wack-o Born again Christian who murdered someone for religious reasons, it wouldn’t have had that Law and Order twist. This Born…

No Fast Road to Publication
Many published authors have a story of how ultimately it took fate or divine intervention to get published. Everyone needs a foot in the door, so it seems, and all the powers that be must come together at just the right moment to create the much coveted Writing Contract. As writers who are also Christians,…
Windows to the Soul
I was explaining to my 12 year old about baptism, and asking if he wanted to be baptized this Easter Sunday, when I saw that look in his eyes. The look that’s not particularly interested in things spiritual. When he was younger he wanted to be baptized, I’m not sure he’s ready now. I’m not…
