A particular TV show has been recommended to me quite often of late, several of the recommendations coming from Christians I respect. I don’t have cable, satellite or Netflix, though, so my only way to watch would be through the purchase of DVDs. Before plunking down that kind of money, I thought I ought to… Read more »

“Do Not Let Your Heart Be Troubled”
There I was, reading my Bible in a mostly daily fashion when I hit this like a tree thrown in front of a stagecoach in an old western: “Jesus said, ‘Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me.’” (John 14:1) Why did that verse catch me so? I know I’ve… Read more »
Sick of Nostalgia
As my laptop cratered earlier this evening, I thought about getting mad, but then I thought: why bother? It’s what computers do. They wear out on us. Some people, whose intelligence I will try my best not to disparage, say at a time like this, “Oh, for a good old typewriter! Am I right?” And… Read more »
Hole-y Cow!
In one of the more alarming news stories you probably missed from the great state of Indiana (official motto: “We have a motto!”), holes are forming and disappearing at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Now, officials are quick to tell us these are not like the sinkholes we’ve been seeing on the news that have swallowed… Read more »
A Jacket, But Not for Cold
I venture to guess that most of us, if we have ever thought about dust jackets, have not thought much about them. In fact, up until my having mentioned it, the vast majority of both my readers have probably never given them much thought at all. What exactly is the purpose of a dust jacket… Read more »
Parsimony
I have always been on the frugal side. OK, let’s just get it out in the open and say “cheap”. I realized yesterday I have become even more so than I used to be and, being a true “Generation X’er”, I look outside myself to place blame. Yesterday’s revelation was brought to me—and, by extension,… Read more »
(Almost) Panic Time
It’s almost that time of year that the men of America’s churches fear the most: that day of reckoning when we have to decide what to do about Mother’s Day. This doesn’t seem to be a problem for women. Women are just natural gift-givers. I think it’s biological. See, women have this ability to get… Read more »
Look Who’s In the BIG Town!
You don’t have to go far to find someone lamenting that Americans have a weight problem. Turn on the TV and there will either be a “paid advertisement” for a weight-loss or exercise system (“use our machine and in just six weeks you’ll look as good as Chuck Norris or Christie Brinkley!”) or a news… Read more »
Weird Thoughts
Have you seen the commercial for the cable television company that features a panda getting all excited because the cable guy has hooked him up with a channel of bear porn? Shouldn’t this trouble us on a lot of levels, not the least of which is that pandas are marsupials? A panda should be no… Read more »
