The Boxtrolls: Fighting The Fear Machine (Movie Review)
Laika, the stop-action animation company behind Coraline and ParaNorman, delivers another not-quite-for-kids film that wows the eyes and challenges our awareness of the world around us. It’s not that it lacks humor (seriously, Eric Idle wrote the theme song for the film), but it’s … Continue reading
Marketing & The Church: Let’s Make Money! (A Mustard Seed Musing)
Lately, there seems to be a growing buzz about how the church is out of date and needs to find a way to be more attractive to the next generation (or two). A week or so ago, a church member … Continue reading

Empty Your Hands (A Mustard Seed Musing)
Sometimes, when I get to the front door, I realize my keys are buried underneath my phone, several receipts, and an assortment of whatever I’m carrying in my pockets that the kids have decided I need to hold onto for … Continue reading
What I’ve Been Reading (Book Reviews)
A host of books have caught my attention lately- some sent my way and some I’ve purchased. Here are some of the more notable ones… Jon Bassoff, Factory Town. A dark, dark book that leaves you guessing, this one reminded me of … Continue reading
Gone Girl: What Is Marriage? (Movie Review)
I didn’t read the book, so I went in mostly… blind. That’s a fitting place to start a review of a film that is basically about the covers we put up to hide our true selves, and the secrets no … Continue reading
Left Behind (2014): Why? It’s Not What You Think… (Movie Review)
Why remake a Left Behind film? Why would people go see it? Why did I watch it? I watched because I was ‘professionally’ obligated. I personally think the Timothy LaHaye/Jerry B. Jenkins series of apocalyptic fiction and the subsequent Kirk Cameron vehicle … Continue reading
