I Am Now a Criminal in Canada

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

And don’t think I am protected since I don’t live in Canada. After all, Mark Stein is living in America and he was charged via the Canadian Human Rights Commission with publishing “hate speech” in a Canadian magazine. Also, many Canadians are being charged even if Americans post supposedly “hate filled” comments on [...]

Where Have I Been?

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Though I have been inactive for a couple of weeks, I have not given up blogging. It is one of my few remaining passions in life. However another passion took precedence for the last few weeks. My daughter graduated out if High School Homeschooling last week. About 11 mothers, headed up by [...]

Supersessionism is a Foundation of Christianity

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

There is little question that the Doctrine of Supersessionism is what is currently behind the concerted attacks by Jewish interviewers against Anne Coulter. Though Anne is probably not the best spokesperson for orthodox, historic Christianity, there is little doubt that at least for the time being, she has been thrown into that position. [...]

My Favorite Bible

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Michael Spenser, the Internet Monk, issued a challenge for bloggers to devote a post (and maybe a picture) to a Bible that has a special place in our spiritual journey. I actually did such a post over a year ago when I reviewed the “Christian Community Bible: the Pastoral Edition.” In honor of [...]

Posts Dedicated to Dad

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

Since I will be making arrangements for my father’s funeral, I will not be doing much posting this week. In addition, I just don’t feel like it.
In honor of my dad, I want to list the posts I made reflecting on him and his trip with cancer toward his eventual death. [...]

“He Got the Plumber!”

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Dedicated to the Memory of My Father
Once upon a time, God became tired of all the children who complained each night about the parents He gave them.  This criticism of His choices in parentage increased exponentially once the same children reached their teenaged years.  So God decided on an experiment.  He created the souls of [...]

Congratulations Taylor!

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

It is now official!  Taylor Hicks is the 2006 American Idol.  My guilty pleasure apparently was the guilty pleasure of a large percentage of the USA population as well.  And yes, I voted last night.  I literally laid on my redial button from 9:00 until 1:00 AM trying to vote (and getting through about only [...]

A Tribute: William Stringfellow

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

William Stringfellow was the only layman on a panel to interview Karl Barth on one of his few visits to America. During that interview, Stringfellow asked a question that fascinated Barth. Knowing Barth’s conflicts with the Nazi party during the war as well as the present (at that time) civil crisis in America, Stringfellow’s question [...]

Heaven’s Half-Way House

Friday, February 10th, 2006

This scene is soon to be a common part of the landscape come the end of May, 2006. Half-way houses and other facilities of good will and aid to the socially crippled will hopefully be in place before then.

Willie Pham: Master Servant of the Master

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

I have often wondered what form Caine would take in the present time if he was a Christian.
Well, now I have found him. He is disguised as Willie Pham, a janitor who works in the Medical Intensive Care Unit at University Hospitals of Cleveland. Instead of the sign of the dragon and tiger peaking out from the forearms of his shirt sleeves though, Willie has the marks of Christ shining from his spirit and his life.
