The Tau Connection

What a fine looking group of young men…  I lost touch with many of these guys until recently on Facebook.  Now I see random status updates from time to time.  Amazing as it seems, most of us grew up.
What’s more amazing is how God has used a part of my life that was way [...]

Faith of Costello

Have you ever felt as lost as Costello in “Who’s on First” when trying to figure out this whole Christianity thing?
It all seemed so simple when I first said that short prayer as a ten year old boy.  Just believe that Jesus is the Son of God that died for my sins and ask him [...]

The Theology of Adoption

My wife and I attended the Christian Alliance for Orphans conference held in Dallas this April.  On the way to the conference my wife was excited about the conference and about getting involved in this ministry.  I was looking forward to the conference but I had other issues that God had been working out in [...]

A Time to Pray

This is quite a year in front of us.  We’re in the midst of a financial mess in our country.  We’re still fighting a war on two front in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Our new president is telling us we can make it through, if we all do our share.  I’m skeptical about what he [...]

The Christmas Story

This is the Christmas story we started telling as a family together last year.  I wrote it because I wanted to share the gospel with my brother and his girlfriend.  However, I shared it again this year with just my wife and kids after we lit the Christ advent candle and sang some carols as [...]

The Christmas Song

My son wrote another song…I need to get this recorded so I can share the tune as well.
You’re beautiful.
You’re Glorious.
You’re Wonderful.
You came to save us.
You’re the Prince of Peace.
Above all things,
You’re the Lord of Lords.
You’re the King of Kings.
You’re the mighty God.
Emanuel.
The Messiah.
You make all things well.
Born in a manger,
With shepherds at your side.
Three rich [...]

Bowl Season Blues

I love college football.  I think it’s because I went to school at Texas A&M and it’s hard not to fall in love with the spirit and rich tradition there.  I’ll watch pro football as well.  I’ll root for the Houston Texans but it’s not the same as the Aggies.

Election Victory Guaranteed

On Tuesday our country will elect a new president.  Some think that this election will be a landslide. Some predict a closer election and maybe even an upset.  Whoever wins, about half the country will be upset.
We live in a state between discontent and fear.  Discontent because gas prices are too high, stock prices are [...]

Out of Africa: Vision and Hope

Romans 15:13 (ESV)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
I am not sure what I expected in Liberia.  I had seen some pictures of the orphanage and I knew it was a vastly [...]
