Recently while reading a review of Shadows at Nightfall I saw that that particular reader had caught on to one of the major mysteries of the series and a source of tension for Jason during much of the book: who is Cinaed the Storyteller? When Jason first meets Cinaed he's just an old man telling... Continue Reading →
Some Lessons Learned From My Little One (Part 9)
There are few things that produce nearly as much joy as your child saying, "I love you," and knowing it is genuine. Likewise, there are few things as infuriating as that same child ignoring your instructions and then feigning an apology before going right back to what upset you in the first place. Obviously my...

Lesson Learned From my Father
It’s impossible not to think about our fathers on this day. The memories we’ve formed of and with them. The things we saw them doing. The things they taught us even when they weren’t trying. As a dad with a little boy of my own, I appreciate all those years of my dad looking... Continue Reading →
Some Lessons Learned From My Little One (Part 7)
Today we had a birthday party for my little boy. He’s still very young and after his nap took a little while to warm up to the small group who came to celebrate with us. The presents and delicious brownies my wife made helped quite a bit. By about hour two he was giddy... Continue Reading →
Some Lessons Learned From My Little One (Part 6)
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.

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 →
Just a Second
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 →
What’s So Great About Heaven?
“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...

Some Lessons Learned From My Little One (Part 4)
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 →
The Case for a New View
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 →
