When Did We Stop Being Kids?
We’re instructed to have “childlike faith.” It’s easier said than done. Somewhere between 2 and 62, our DNA changes. Kids start off knowing nothing. All they know is they want stuff. But they need you! The more they grow, the more they know. They still need you,...
Light Shine Bright
There are lots people to blame and lots of people who are wrong. And lots of people are making that very well known. You don’t have to be one of those people. Sure, it’s good to “take a stand." Sure, “if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything."...
Consider Others Better than Me?
It’s absolutely impossible without a 100% surrender to Jesus. Philippians 2 is kicking my tail. It’s unimaginable to “put others’ interests before my own” when I vehemently disagree with those interests and, in fact, view them as destructive. With a few exceptions,...

There was a Christian rock band in the 90s called Plankeye. Always thought it was a clever name for people who see the splinter in others’ eye. Ouch. Turns out it’s me. (I hate it when that happens.) The Problem Words like hypocrite, sellout, and partisan...

Bob and Doug: Space Cowboys
There’s good news in the midst of the crazy. The recent SpaceX historic rocket launch took me back to when I was a kid. Remember the Apollo space program? They made a movie about the bad one, but a dozen people on six different missions went to the moon about 50...
I Should Read This
We hear a lot of “shoulds” right now. “People should.” “Our leaders should.” “This should not happen." Words like travesty, tragedy, disgraceful and despicable are also prevalent. We’re really good at placing a critical description on troubling news and problematic...
Images May be Disturbing (Not Really)
Why do we look when we we’re warned “Caution, some images may be disturbing to sensitive viewers.” Who wants to be disturbed? It seems we do. There’s something weird about us that’s drawn to look at car crashes, violence, and scary movies. I don’t get it....
