It's about writing and doing good with the inspiration God gives me.
“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 →
for Culturally-illiterate Science Reporters, Ancient Canaanite DNA Yields Occasion to Slap the Bible Around I promise I’ll address the article I’ve linked to above in a moment, but first let me digress to talk about an incident from my time as an undergraduate in a sophomore history class. The course was specifically Mediterranean history... 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.

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 →
LESSON #2: My little guy is constantly teaching me things. On the eve before Father’s Day, we had a bit of a scuffle at bed time. He usually is a very happy participant in getting on his pajamas and really looks forward to wearing Daniel Tiger, Batman, and other characters to bed. But that night... Continue Reading →
Since Father’s Day is tomorrow, I thought it might be nice to share a couple things I’ve noticed so far as a dad that God used to speak some deeper messages to me. Since He is the Heavenly Father, a lot of my son’s actions and attitudes (he’s a toddler) make me think about my... Continue Reading →
Martin Scorsese’s film, Silence, about Jesuit missionaries in search of their mentor in 17th Century Japan came out in January is now on DVD. Two Portuguese priests sneak into Japan, where Christianity was outlawed at the time, to find their mentor who may have committed apostasy. Based on a novel of the same name by... Continue Reading →
So, I watched Rogue One: A Star Wars Story recently. As a long-time fan of Star Wars, I have to begin by saying it was everything I wanted The Force Awakens to be. That I liked the movie at all came as a surprise, because for a long time I held a healthy level of... Continue Reading →
