Talents & Ministry

I’ve been thinking recently on the topic of using our talents for the Lord. Reason being, I help to teach our church’s Sunday School class, and that’s what the most recent lesson was about, taken from the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30. Some questions I was asking myself, (a few of [...]

Persecution – North Korea

Through various webcasts and blogs my interest has been piqued recently, regarding the persecution of Christians in North Korea. I knew it was bad, but didn't realize that it is the worst country in the world for persecution and that they have huge prison camps where terrible atrocities are commited against Christians and other [...]

Cat Duet

OK. This post may be a little weird. A few months back, I recorded these two cats having a duet in our backyard. They weren't actively fighting; just "howling" at each other. There's almost a weird doleful harmony in it. Check it out by clicking on the link.

Acute Nasopharyngitis

Over the last 3 days I’ve been afflicted with acute nasopharyngitis, ie the common cold. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Unfortunately it:

is the most common communicable health problem that can afflict humans.

results in a loss $20 billion due to work [...]

Wikipedia

I am amazed every time I need some detailed information on a given topic at the thorough in-depth articles on Wikipedia. To think that an entirely volunteer unaffiliated group of people from around the world can produce a research tool of such magnitude in a few short years! If you haven't added it [...]

Wednesday Evening Church Service

Wednesday evening at church was absolutely great. We had a visiting preacher by the name of Pete Peters give a message on What Does It Mean To Be Free In Christ? Freedom to a Christian is a far cry from what most of the world would define it as. With lots of [...]
