God said, "Yes!"

I had a friend recently jokingly make a comment on our Facebook page about how all we do is mess around on this little scooter I got.  While it’s true that I enjoy tweaking it and upgrading it, that is not all that we do.  I’m not necessarily writing this to explain our actions, I [...]

I always told myself I’d never spend money on an animal.   At least not “real” money on one.   Then we moved to Cambodia, and two days before we left we found out that we couldn’t take the dogs in the manner that we thought.   So there we were grasping for a way [...]

Here’s a story:   At countless Karaoke bars across town tonight there are girls that are paraded in front of pig men and men chose them.  I’ve never actually seen the process firsthand, but it seems to me like it would be an auction.

Today was my first day on the job.   The job you ask?  I get to tutor some awesome young believers for a theology class that they are taking.  I also have the privilege of hanging out with one of the greatest pastors I know and encourage him and bounce ideas off of him during [...]

Yes, i’m still very much a rookie here. But I have a question.  If Cambodia is a predominantly Buddhist country, and that religion doesn’t have any “gods” so to speak then why are there so many spirit houses around here?  I don’t know all the inner workings of Buddhism, but I at least don’t think [...]

I like the show Firefly.  It’s a western, and a sci fi spaceship show all into one.  The main character is Malcom Renyolds (played by Nathan Fillion) is the captain of the firefly class vessel Serenity.  In one episode there is a small country town on one of the outskirt towns that has been pillaged [...]

Step 1.  Go to itunes and Download Fall On Your Knees from the New David Crowder Album   Seriously…go do that now, cause you’ll need to listen to that while you read this.   Step 2.  Hit play on that song.   Step 3.  Quiet your heart and begin to direct praise and affection toward [...]
