November 18

By | November 18, 2010

I’m off for the weekend to Lake Texoma.  Try and guess where that is.  No, it’s not anywhere close to Texarkana.  And it’s a very far distance from Texico.  I’m sure glad that Texas doesn’t share a border with Wisconsin. Does the kibbutz have a future?  The Jerusalem Post looks backwards and forwards on the… Read More »

Free Audiobook: Don’t Waste Your Life

By | November 1, 2010

This month you can get the audio book by John Piper for free at ChristianAudio.com.  If you haven’t registered already, it’s worth registering because they give away a free book every month.  With the exception of last month’s offering, they are usually good.  If you have used their services before and found them clunky, be… Read More »

After the Last Dirty Politician

By | November 1, 2010

Andrew Peterson is one of my favorite artists.  “After the Last Tear Falls” is currently at the top of my (two-song) playlist.  I don’t know the best way to share it here, but I found this Youtube video.  You can hit play and then minimize the window to avoid being distracted by the pictures.  (Or… Read More »

Three weeks ago I was studying Luke. Two weeks ago I was studying Acts. Last week I studied the Gospel of John. This week I’m in Romans. Good times.

18 Years

By | August 8, 2010

Today makes 18 years.  Several recent events make it more precious than it may have been otherwise.  Perhaps more on those things another time, but this is all the blogging I’m going to do today. The place where we were engaged, Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee

Atlas

By | June 30, 2010

I have acquired a few copies of a special edition of a Bible atlas that you can’t get anywhere else.  If you think you know what I’m talking about and you want one, send me an email and I ‘ll let you know the details.

2011 Calendar

By | April 15, 2010

This afternoon I received in the mail the page proofs for a 2011 calendar featuring my photos.   My pictures have been used in half a dozen calendars over the years, but this calendar is spectacular.   It’s large (as calendars go), has a large photo as well as a smaller inset photo, and covers… Read More »

That Texas Trip

By | March 25, 2010

A friend of ours at church has a lease on a ranch northwest of Dallas.  We had a good time.  I ‘ll let the pictures speak for themselves.          I ‘ll admit here publicly, for the sake of one of my friends, that I saw parts of Texas that were beautiful.

Favorite Verse in the Bible

By | March 13, 2010

One of our boys asked me today what my favorite verse is.  For Awana, he has to ask 10 Christians this question and then write down his own.  This is a tough question for me, especially now.  But I gave him one of my favorites.  I ‘ll quote the preceding verse for context. (And God… Read More »
