Could you pass the salt, please? I’m gonna serve up some tasty tidbits from the previous week…plus a few extras.

If you were God, and you could speak words to create the sun, moon, and stars, how many days do you think it would take you to create the whole universe? I don’t mean just the blueprint. Or mind mapping. Or sketches. Or even prototypes. I mean the whole universe and every kind of living thing in it. How long do you think it … The rest of the story…
Is it just me? Or have you noticed how dark, dreary, and ominous things have gotten? Even here in America where the light of truth once shone brightest…everything is going dark. Movies, music, billboards, the internet…all filled with shadowed images and references. What do you think the attraction is with this downward spiral into a bottomless pit? Whatever it is, we shouldn’t embrace a fatalistic … The rest of the story…
Yeah, life these days is challenging from every corner. It’s frustrating to see so much hurt, hopelessness, and inhumanity. It’s tempting to simply gripe, complain, and yell at the world. But don’t those things just add to the problems? How about you try this on for size: Give thanks instead. Your Creator would love to hear from you. Instead Don’t try to pray away … The rest of the story…
It doesn’t matter if you have a voice like Bocelli or you think your singin’s smelly…you should sing out loud, today, and be glad you’re alive. You exist. You are somebody. There’s no one else quite like you in the whole world. So sing out loud like there’s no one else in the world. Sing anything you feel. Anything that makes you smile. Anything … The rest of the story…
“It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” What is the “it” that sentence is talking about? Salt. “Salt of the earth” to be more precise.

In this episode of the podcast I talk about joy peace, fear, time, hypocrisy, and the measles. Yep, you read that right. It all makes more sense when you read (or listen to) these stories… No joy in the “happiest place on Earth” The hypocrisy of the atheist’s “10 non-commandments” How a person is a person even before they’re born How fear is always … The rest of the story…
Fear IS an option. Of course it is. If fear wasn’t an option, to be fearless would be sort of a moot point wouldn’t it. After all, if you didn’t have the option to fear, no one would fear. Then what would you have? A world full of heroes? No…because there wouldn’t be any other kind of people. Everyone would simply be fearless. Whew! … The rest of the story…
You’re about to see something very cool. A video that only takes 90 seconds to watch. But it captures an enormous amount of joy that developed in nine months. It’s a time-lapse video, and you can tell the creators of the video took great care to create the look and feel of an impromptu video. I found myself smiling as I watched it, and … The rest of the story…
Certain groups of atheists have decided they need their own “gathering day” to celebrate and be with “other like-minded individuals”. One person said “it gets people together focused on something bigger than the individual”. Ironically, that’s what God is…but I’ll continue. They also call this day they want to “celebrate” their “Sunday assembly”. The hypocrisy of their movement is clearly seen in their “ten non-commandments“. … The rest of the story…
