Lady in the Water – My review (No Spoilers)
My Rating: 7 (out of 10) Lady in the Water is M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film and is by far his least satisfying work. Having said that, however, it is still an entertaining and thought-provoking film, especially when compared with much of the fluff and crap released on a weekly basis by Hollywood. The basic [...]
Memories, Light the Corners of My Mind . . .
I had forgotten all about this list from Liberty University until I visited my friend alabasterfae’s blog on mindsay.com. She has a link to this page entitled “oh the irony.” If I had a link to it on my blog, which I just might add soon, it would be called “Memories,” since this legalistic stuff [...]

And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in [...]
A Quote that Is Informing my Sermon Preparation
Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime, Therefore, we are saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;Therefore, we are saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone. Therefore, we are saved by love. No virtuous act is quite a [...]
It's Not Easy Being Green
As reported here the 2006 list of the 50 most influential churches has been released, and sad to say, my church did not make the cut. I have nothing against such lists per se, but they really serve little purpose. In fact, such lists just make me wonder if either the churches on them (or [...]
Big Red Soda
About the only good thing to come out of trip to Ohio this past week (since I was as sick as a dog for most of it) was that I picked up 10 12-pack cartoons of Big Red Soda to bring back to my home in Southeastern Pennsylvania. I grew up with this delicious soda [...]
