Imagine somebody who could conjure up designs for the universe and everything in it. And now imagine somebody who could get it all built in only six days. This doesn’t sound like some ordinary person. Right? The sun, moon, and stars. Animals. Birds. Fish. Reptiles. And…oh yeah, human beings. Yeah. God is definitely no ordinary person.

It isn’t difficult to stir up emotional opposing opinions when it comes to talking about God. And I got another example of this, recently, from a woman who didn’t like my post about Katharine Hepburn. Her comments were filled with false accusations against God.

Imagine flying up into the the far reaches of the sky. And imagine it happens so fast everybody thinks you just disappeared. Suddenly you’re like a nursery rhyme. Twinkle twinkle, there you go. Would that be the coolest thing or what?! What’s that you say? It sounds silly? Childlike? Ridiculous? Well, I’ll see your silly, childlike, ridiculous notion and raise you one living, loving … Read the rest…
Back in 1976, I got to see a farewell concert by Loggins and Messina. It was in the Uptown Theater in Kansas City. A very cool venue which seated only about 2000 people. They had been a duo for a while. And they wanted to go their own creative ways. The Bellamy Brothers were their opening act. And you might remember them for a … Read the rest…
