There is another way

When our lives are full of suffering and angst, and even pain and injustice, when we feel helpless to actually live any differently, Jesus would gently, (oh so gently) point out to us that there is another way.

Take The Change Home

Have you ever had to look through someone else’s vacation photos? Never quite as impressive as your own, are they? Why? Well… Picture yourself there. On the beach. Or in the mountains. Or out on the lake. Remember what you could smell. Remember how the temperature was, what clothes you could wear, how they felt […]

Encountering God

Sometimes we have to go away – get out of our house, out of our heads, out of our routines – in order to encounter God. But the point is that encountering God changes us and changes us permanently if we let it. We go away, because sometimes it’s easier to encounter God while we’re […]

Jesus, Prophet for God

Jesus spoke like a prophet, knowing the mind of God, the heart of God, and the Voice of God, clearly sharing what to do and not to do, and this is sometimes sharply contrasted with the dancing around the mulberry bush method of communicating that we get from Paul in his letters.

Hoping for Justice

Baptized with the Spirit – Different than Water??

Hey, all! This is a touchy issue for some because when we interpret the Bible over the years (and by years, I mean millennia) we can come upo with some very different meanings and we can… well, we can really grab those meanings up into our arms like a cherished child (or a football) and […]

Bonus Scenes, Thank you! Scenes

Yeah, so 2020. That was a tough one. Me and my loved ones got through it intact, despite some of them being front-line workers, and as part of my gratitude cultivation in 2021, I’m releasing bonus scenes and pre-release scenes to stories I’m working on over on my patreon account to every tier, yes, including […]

Was Jesus REALLY a Refugee??

…yup. A political refugee. An asylum seeker. And he got it, too. Without being separated from his parents as an infant, either. Imagine that.

Christmas: Day 3 of 12

If you took one thing away from Christmas 2020, what would it be? Hopefully your takeaway is not the 2020 Finale Bingo Sheet. Well, here’s my takeaway.
