The Saddest Trend of 2015
My friend, Greg, sent me an article from a UK News Source, The Telegraph, titled, The Saddest trend of 2015. The article is about the growing popularity of the technology of “mindfulness.” The practice of mindfulness, rooted in Buddhist meditative practice and now a phone app, was so popular in 2014 that it was, in […]

Artists (like Gungor) have much to teach theologians about scripture
The challenge for Christians is not that we don’t understand the science. It’s that we don’t understand the Bible… at least not the way millions of believers will understand it the farther we get into this century.

Day 2, 2011

Day 1, 2011
Welcome back. You belong here. I moved to Michigan last year and love it. That’s nothing new for me. I’ve loved everywhere I’ve lived. People make a place.
