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 … The rest of the story…
About this time of year, back in 2013, I wrote my replies to some discussion about a cake shop in Lakewood, Colorado. Maybe you heard of Masterpiece Cakes? And its owner, Jack Phillips? He’s the guy who, according to his Christian faith, chose to refuse service to a so-called “gay couple.” And by “refuse service,” I mean he didn’t wanna bake their “wedding cake.” … The rest of the story…
I was part of a debate…uh…conversation about whether or not The Flood actually happened. And you know The Flood I refer to, right? The guy who started the debate…uh…conversation said there’s no evidence that a worldwide flood ever happened. But he’s a perfect example of how so many deny that facts are real. That’s why they’re called facts. And facts are real despite how … The rest of the story…
Tell the truth. Would you rather go to a baseball game or a Bible study? And would you rather talk about faith? Or football? Do you know where a great sports bar is? But you don’t have a clue where you could find a church that rightly divides the word of truth? Or maybe just reading or hearing that phrase offends you. Yeah, most … The rest of the story…
Several years ago I shared a short story of the less-than-glamorous side of life on the road. It was something that happened way back in the early 90’s. And you could either say it’s proof “God has a plan” or you could say “thank goodness for free will” and hard workers. I prefer not to go with the “God has a plan” option. Not … The rest of the story…
What do you call someone who uses banal, hackneyed, and overworked phrases to shove their agenda in your face? Cue that Jeopardy music. And we have a winner. Susie said, “A politician.” Tell ’em what she won, Johnny! Yeah, zing ’em with in-your-face clichés. And tell those lies loud and often. And before you know it, bam. The world is a better place for … The rest of the story…
A lot of things are true for some people. But only SOME things are true for everyone. And that’s where people will get offended easily. Because what’s true for everyone isn’t always what everyone wants to be true. Like where you go after you die, for example. That’s a mighty touchy subject, wouldn’t you say? But let’s see if there’s any truth to saying … The rest of the story…
Shh. Listen. Do you hear that? Be quiet. And be vehwy, vehwy still. Now do you hear it? Hopefully the ringing in your ears doesn’t drown it out. Because Truth is calling. And Truth knows who you are, where you are, and why you exist. Yeah, Truth is calling. But humans prefer lies. Weird stuff, Maynard. Makes me think of a Kenny Loggins song, … The rest of the story…
What if joy were against the law? Sounds crazy, I know. But play along for just a bit. And let’s pretend that somehow that kind of law was pushed through congress. What would you do? If joy were against the law, would you break it? The law that is. Would you break it? Could you break it? I believe, and I hope I’m not … The rest of the story…
I read a post, from a friend in social media (thanks Allen) about famous last words from some famous atheists. And the despair in their words struck me in such a way I wanted to share some of them with you. It’s chilling. But first…why do I say famous last words of foolish jaybirds? Well, back in medieval days, when I was growing up, … The rest of the story…
