Preliminary Reflections and Paraphrases of Sunday’s Scriptures
Preliminary Reflections There are many riches in our scripture from which to preach this week.

Quote O’ The Day – Will D. Campbell
One day about forty years ago an atheist asked the radical Southern Baptist preacher, Rev. Will D. Campbell, if he could sum up the Christian religion in ten words or less.

Little Miss Sunshine – A Review
To be blunt, Little Miss Sunshine is one of the most disappointing films that I have seen in a couple of years. And perhaps that is my mistake since I went to the cinema with high expectations given what I had read and seen about the movie in reviews and conversations. If some films can [...]
Reflectionary – Psalm 90
Psalm 90 – My Paraphrase 1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.2 Before the mountains were brought forth or you had formed the world and its habitation,from everlasting to everlasting you are God.3 You turn mortals back to dust, saying,“Return to dust, O children of humanity.”4 A thousand years in your [...]
