Are you getting what you deserve? I hope not. Sometimes getting what you deserve is not a good thing. For example, when I was a kid, I remember getting some spankings I deserved. But I wasn’t glad about it. Quite the opposite. I’m sure you can think of a time in your life when you got what you deserved and it left you feeling … The rest of the story…

Is Christian Cool…cool? I’ve been thinking over some “real” stuff lately. As cool as I think the digital world is (or can be), it doesn’t hold a candle to the real world. And by that I mean people. And by people, I especially mean Christian people. But not the ones who focus on being Christian cool. There’s a place in the Bible where it … The rest of the story…
Note to Self: focus on what you do best After receiving some info from a friend about “it”…and discovering some more info about “it”…and even watching some videos about “it”…I’ve made a note to self that says what they all say. Focus on what YOU do best. And for what it’s worth to those of you who don’t care about music, or to those … The rest of the story…
Gotta love a Lab As I begin to write this, it’s been less than 24 hours since one of our best buddies died. And I’m sadder than I’ve been in years. I already miss his face more than words can express. His name was Nestlē. He was also known as Nestlē, the crunch bar…and my wife also affectionately called him “my chocolate mess”.

Who is your own worst enemy? Have you ever done something you know you shouldn’t do…and then later, wonder why you did that? How about this? Did you ever pass up on the chance to do something good or right? You knew you should do it, but you just didn’t do it. If you’ve ever found yourself in either of those scenarios, you probably … The rest of the story…
Free from the law…but you still wanna pay?! What if you found yourself standing before a judge behind his ominous, oak desk…and you were found guilty of a crime that carried a $20 billion fine? If you’re like the rest of the people on the planet, your first thought would probably be, “Oh man, I’m never gonna be able to pay that.” Right? Well, … The rest of the story…
Neither death nor life can separate me from true love. It’s not manly to cry. So, I don’t…as a rule. But I’ll let you in on a secret I haven’t talked much about with anyone except those closest to me. I actually have cried in my life. Even after I became a man. “Gasp!” I don’t cry at the drop of a hat. Like … The rest of the story…
Ideas Have Consequences – For example, the idea of holiness This quote, that appears by most references to have some from Mark Twain, just popped up on my radar again this week: “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” And today I’m gonna share how some well-meaning (I hope) Christians … The rest of the story…
Christians are more than conquerors If you could take a minute to try and see yourself from God’s perspective, you might get a better understanding of how Christians are more than conquerors. And that’s true because of one thing, and one thing only… God’s everlasting Love! In case you didn’t know, there was a guy named Paul who wrote a letter to the Romans, … The rest of the story…
How can you fight the feeling when it comes so naturally? When I was in my early twenties I wrote lyrics to songs with hidden meanings. I can’t tell you why, exactly. Even if I told you, it probably wouldn’t make any sense to you. And as I look back into my old notebooks, I’ve gotta admit something to you…I hid the meaning to … The rest of the story…
