Coincidence? That’s nuts!
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where, if the details were only slightly different, the outcome would border on disastrous? Perhaps you drove through an intersection and when you looked in your rearview mirror, you saw a car run a red light and t-bone another vehicle. Or perhaps it was something as simple… Continue reading Coincidence? That’s nuts!

“Dread Champion”
Gladiator is one of my favorite movies, a masterfully crafted film with a compelling plot and outstanding performances (proving once more that a well-made movie can make a hero out of an unlikeable actor, but that’s another topic for another day). The main character, Maximus, is a high-ranking officer in the service of the Roman… Continue reading “Dread Champion”

My pal Kelly posted his version of the 23rd Psalm on his Facebook wall, written from the perspective of an oil driller.

Book Review: “The Leftovers”
I finished Tom Perotta’s novel, The Leftovers [Kindle | iBooks] this weekend, and found it to be both compelling and unsatisfying. The book was published in 2011, and if I ever heard anything about it, I had forgotten it. But it’s recently been getting new press due to the film adaptation that is scheduled to appear… Continue reading Book Review: “The Leftovers”
My Plans / God’s Laughter
If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.Unknown Wag For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.’Jeremiah 29:11 [NAS] I do agree that God laughs when we tell Him our plans, but… Continue reading My Plans / God’s Laughter
