It's about writing and doing good with the inspiration God gives me.
It's been almost two weeks since I had an episode of Star Wars Rebels to look forward to. For four years I followed the series about a bunch of idealistic misfits who manage to become a major force for change in the fictional far, far away galaxy. It's the first TV series I can recall...

If you've been following my posts lately, you've probably noticed there are quite a few, like this one, discussing a lesson I've learned from my son. He's a toddler, so conventional wisdom would say he should be the one doing the learning, but every interaction we have takes on a greater meaning to me.... Continue Reading →
There have been a number of small moments with my little guy that have had a profound impact on me. My intention was to make a post summarizing each simultaneously. I thought I would break from my tendency to be wordy and try to be concise. Obviously I'm still a recovering word-aholic, because that hasn't happened... Continue Reading →
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. - Romans 8:18 1.5 seconds. That’s about how long it takes to go from the top of Disney World's Splash Mountain to its bottom. In 2014, my wife, brother-in-law, and I... Continue Reading →

There is the protagonist's take and the antagonist's take. If you want to be technical you could say there is a different narrative... Continue Reading →
“The creatures came rushing on…as they came right up to Aslan one or other of two things happened to each of them. They all looked straight in his face…when some looked, the expression…was fear and hatred…all the creatures who looked at Aslan in that way swerved to their right, his left, and disappeared into his...

It’s been a few months since I did my earlier entries about things my little boy has taught me. Of course, he has been instructing me in all sorts of things since then. For instance, I never saw how heroic Stormtroopers from Star Wars could be until he took a liking to a figure... Continue Reading →
Today I watched the movie The Case for Christ. I won’t go into how I felt about the movie itself or even the arguments it presented, except one which really spoke to me, though probably at tangent from what the movie was intended. At one point Lee Strobel travels all the way from Chicago... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite lighter moments in the otherwise gritty movie The Dark Knight is when Lucius Fox lets accountant Coleman Reese into his office to discuss Mr. Reese's financial findings, during which Reese implies Bruce Wayne is Batman and tries to blackmail Lucius. The dialogue ended like this: Lucius Fox: [to Reese] Let... Continue Reading →
It has been almost a week since my Father's Day and feels like a good time to share one of the more humorously frustrating lessons I've gotten from my little guy. My latest lesson from what has become a semi-regular ritual of late. Our little toddler has decided that he knows more than we... Continue Reading →
