I don’t live in a safe place. Six years ago, a guy walked down a street, here in Colorado Springs, and randomly murdered people. Yeah, on this the most holiest of days. Halloween. If you heard about it or read about it, you know the story I’m talking about. If you didn’t, go look it up. I don’t wanna waste … The rest of the story…
Tag Archives: choose life
Try this headline on for size. “Justice Department Asks Supreme Court To Block Texas Abortion Ban.” Because they say unconstitutional bills like that take away a “woman’s right to choose.” Notice the emphasis on “unconstitutional bills.” And notice how they never (or at least rarely) finish that sentence. Woman’s right to choose…what? Do they simply choose to stop being pregnant? … The rest of the story…
Once again I read a post, by a well-known social media person, who blamed God for bad stuff. And once again, it’s another person who thinks “God is in control” of even something like back problems. This person, like far too many others, falls for the pagan Greek philosophy version of our Creator. And not for the one, true, living, … The rest of the story…
Different people don’t tend to get along so well. Have you noticed that? And history books denote sections of time, most often, using wars as markers. And almost all of those wars were between different peoples. Although it could be argued that America’s own civil war runs contrary to that assertion. But it doesn’t diminish my point. Which is how … The rest of the story…
Life sure is full of weird and wonderful stuff. And I mean stuff you’d probably never make up on your own. At least, not if you don’t let your mind wander off to the dark side all the time. Like for example, through a series of links, for some embryo info, I saw a thumbnail for a horror/sci-fi movie on … The rest of the story…
We try our best to capture life and make time stand still. And we never succeed. No one has ever succeeded. One of the few things the Rolling Stones got right: “Time waits for no one. And it won’t wait for me.” But still, we take pictures, by the billions every day, to capture life. And you hold those … The rest of the story…
Cholesterol is found in some interesting and tasty places It’s good to see some updated reports on cholesterol because it’s gotten a pretty scary reputation over the years and decades. There are people who stress out over the mere mention of the so-called “artery-clogging”gooey stuff. But take a quick look at some of the things cholesterol is found in and see if … The rest of the story…
Talk about God and watch what happens A Thanksgiving and Christmas tradition in the Funderbungalow is to watch classic silver screen movies. Elgielene and I love the “old black and whites.” This Thanksgiving was no different. After our family tradition of steak, sweet potatoes, veggies, and dessert, we pulled up a couple of movies on YouTube and settled in. One … The rest of the story…
Open your mind to a train of thought Have you ever been called close-minded? If you’re a Christian who rightly divides the word of truth, I wouldn’t be surprised, at all, if you have. I can’t tell you how many times an unbeliever has said something like, “You need to open your mind to all the scientific evidence out there … The rest of the story…
Happy New Year 2016 I can’t believe I’m already saying “Happy New Year 2016”. It seems like only a few days ago I was telling you the same thing for 2015. It’s odd how time seems to speed up as more candles are added to your birthday cake. Do you find that to be true, too? Anyway…I hope your 2016 … The rest of the story…
Would you like to know how to spot hypocritical love? Hypocritical love is all around you, so it’s a good idea to be able to discern it. Why? So, you won’t buy into lies and silly, childish euphemisms. If you’re not hiding your Christianity under a basket…if you’re actually being “salt and light” in this increasingly, tasteless, dark world…you’re gonna … The rest of the story…
God is not planning your day or the other 7 billion people in the world either. You probably have enough trouble planning your day…never mind 7 billion others…right? Well, here’s a revelation (it shouldn’t be, but it is). God isn’t planning your day either…or all the other people on the planet. He did something much better and more complex than … The rest of the story…
How do you direct your hearts? Look at this line a guy named Paul wrote to some people living in Thessalonica, Greece…sometime in about the 1st century A.D. He said, “Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.” Notice two key words: love and patience. These two attributes of God … The rest of the story…
Ransom: a sum of money or other payment demanded or paid for the release of a prisoner – That’s a pretty good description of the ransom that was paid for your release. And mine. And everyone else’s. Your life is held prisoner in this fallen world. Your body is held prisoner to sin, and sin demands a ransom. And if the ransom … The rest of the story…
Dawn of a New Day
Does darkness loom like a black fog over your head today? If so, you may be just around the corner from the dawn of a new day. Yeah, I know you may be thinking that’s easy for me to say. After all, how could I possibly understand what you’re going through right now. You’re right. I don’t know what you’re … The rest of the story…
How To Pass From Death To Life
I’ve studied a lot of tutorials in recent years. How-to books and ebooks on marketing, design, website building, and much more. But there’s one tutorial no family, person, or business should be without. It’s often overlooked since it can be somewhat of challenge to read and comprehend. But this tutorial is worth it because it shows you the one-step process on … The rest of the story…
Fullness of Joy
The fullness of joy most people seek (whether they know it or not) is only found in a relationship with your Creator. And God IS your Creator…even if you don’t believe in Him. David, who was King of Israel, was a songwriter. Many of his lyrics, known as Psalms, are found in the Bible. And he talked all the time … The rest of the story…
Pssst…hey you. Yeah, you. C’mere. I got some valuable information…a code…and I need someone I can trust with it just in case I’m not around to get it into the right hands. Yeah, some earth-shattering things might happen real soon, and just in case they do…maybe you can use this code and help yourself and some others get out of … The rest of the story…
You’ve probably read the story…a well-known musician says he became a singer songwriter because he saw it was a way to “get the girls“. For some reason the girls thought the singer songwriters were somehow more sensitive and caring. Yeah, they could sing the words that would pierce deeply into the heart of the hopeful girl and fill her with … The rest of the story…
Can A Singer Songwriter Beat The World?
Even When Things Get Tough We can still beat the world Once upon a time there was this world. And it was good. And beautiful. And pure. Fast forward about 6,000 years…and we have this world. And it’s not so good. It’s messed up. And purity is long gone. All around us are stories of tragedy, catastrophe, and calamity. Thieves, … The rest of the story…
