Which Messiah Were We Hoping For?
When the Christian right didn’t get our messiah elected, we resorted to ridiculing the left for getting theirs.

Fun with Procreate (iPad)
Grass Forrest Mite (GFM) I recently heard about Procreate for the iPad care of @sidmohede on Instagram.

The Shadow Lamp
Most people who read my novels or who frequent my blog know my affinity for the legendary Stephen R. Lawhead, whose works are truly—legendary. Thank you, Jack Black.

On Romans 12:12
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. (Romans 12:12 ESV) There are some hard truths in the Bible in that they are difficult to get away from. Impossible, in fact.
