Family Friendly Easter Seder Part 1
It’s snuck up on me again! The Easter Holiday season. I thought by getting the bunnies and egg hunts out of the way early, I’d have time to plan some really great Jesus stuff. But it’s Palm Sunday and I’ve done nothing…yet. I just pulled out my Easter file and for the rest of the…
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…
Prayer Requests
So many people I know right now are battling breast cancer or some strange sickness, I don’t know if I could possibly list them all. But some of the most urgent ones are following: Margaret’s mother Susan Her blood pressure is high, her blood sugar is high and so is her heart rate. If she…

You are Dulcinea, God’s Beloved
Tonight I went to see Broadway’s Don Quixote. Though I vaguely knew the story of the crazed man who fought windmills, I didn’t know God would use this story to speak to my heart. Filled with interesting and wretched characters (which completely contrast with Don Quixote’s virtues of honor, love and valiancy), the story took…
More on the Tomb
Randy Ingermanson (who has a PhD in theoretical physics as well as being an all-around brilliant math guy and a fabulous novelist) has a fascinating analysis of the probablity of the bones in the tomb being Jesus of Nazareth. Though he lost me on some of the math (you can easily follow the equations if…
Jesus’ Tomb Found?
I don’t know if you’ve heard the controversial news on the alleged discovery of Jesus’ lost tomb, but before you get swept away with the hype it’s a good idea to get all the facts. That is both sides of the story. I received this email earlier this week. Tonight “the Discovery Channel will be…
Worship
I just finished reading Joyce Meyer’s book The Battle Belongs to the Lord. It’s amazing how fast I got through it while exercising on my elliptical machine 20-30 minutes 5 times a week. It was a great little book and a quick read about over coming life’s struggles through worship. What I took away…
So What’s Lent All About?
I grew up observing the season of Lent, often giving up candy or chocolate. One year I remember giving up bread! The idea was to give up something I loved…for Jesus. Even after I left the church of my youth I carried on the tradition. For one thing, it was a way I could curb…
