I Love Tiny Homes, but…

Tiny homes are perfect for a young couple just starting out. Old batchelors and recluses do well in tiny homes, too, and they're great as VRBO rentals. But sadly, the tiny home thing has morphed into a "life sucks and that's all I can afford," idealism. Worse yet, some green wackos are purposing that everyone …

God Shows Up

I can't say I'm perfect at caring about others. Honestly, I do tend to care more if they care for me.  Still, every now and then, I run into someone who needs a kind word, a loving act, a sacrifice on my part to bring them joy. When this urge strikes me, I'm all in. …

Hammocks in Heaven

I can't say I know where I'm going with this story, I just walked outside to our hammock, layed down, and wondered, are there hammocks in heaven? It's a perfect day. It's 10 a.m. There's a slight breeze, and the sunshine is perfectly marvelous. Yes, I'm in my underwear and wearing a t-shirt. We can …

Lies!

Don't let Satan's lies control the narrative: he's influencing what the media writes, the government promotes, and people believe.One attribute of lying was aptly described by St Augustine as "lies told for the pleasure of lying." I think many people do this version of lying with perverted altruistic intentions. They lie thinking they are benefiting …

How Much is Your House Worth?

How much is your house worth? I've asked myself this question since I built  mine. I've had people tell me $1 million dollars, and just last night, one high-end realtor in the valley told me it's maybe worth $5.8 million. Wow, I thought!  But let's suppose I think mine might be worth more like $12 …

World Of The Mind

It's in there somewhere. Some of us like to talk and discus and to think carefully. I'd like to invite you to think with me. Not watered down, nothings, but pungent things. Vibrant things about God and human behavior. I'll begin in one way and end simplistic. The gospel part will not be interesting to …

Evil Days Ahead

I've been meaning to write this for quite some time. In fact, it's been on my mind for months. I've been trying to describe in my head and to you "the end of the world as we know it." The complete destruction of society, our political system, and our country. Of course, we all know …
