I AM Small (A Mustard Seed Musing)
The pace of my schedule lately has been… breathtaking. And not in a good way. The end of the school for my family, the denominational annual conference weekend, Vacation Bible School. It’s not bad stuff, but it hardly leaves one with the … Continue reading
Noah: One-On-One With Screenwriter Ari Handel (Interview)
I don’t think I’ve been this nervous for an interview in awhile. I’ve asked questions of the designer of the 2012 Olympic medals, well-known musicians, professional athletes, authors, and others. But to get time with Ari Handel, screenwriting partner of … Continue reading
Red Rising: Bloodydamn Epic Mars (Book Review)
“Ender, Katniss, and now Darrow.” That’s thriller author Scott Sigler’s recommendation on the front cover of newcomer Pierce Brown’s debut novel, Red Rising, that chronicles lowbred Red miner Darrow’s improbable infiltration of the Gold hierarchy on the planet Mars. It’s heady … Continue reading

Homefront: Who Watches Our Violence? (Movie Review)
Don’t believe what you’ve heard (Rotten Tomatoes, anyone?) This is the best Jason Statham flick since The Transporter. After several disappointing spins as The Mechanic and various incarnations of Crank, Statham had semi-Statham-like performances in Killer Elite and Redemption/Hummingbird. But now, strange as it is to see … Continue reading

Sunday’s Sermon Today: Kids Say Amazing Things
Once a year, we set aside a Sunday to celebrate the children. Big, small, rich, poor, present here, present around the world. Each year we’ve taken a different tack at how to make kids the main thing that Sunday. We’ve … Continue reading
Sunday’s Sermon Today: Muddy Water (II Kings 5:1-14)
I have a confession to make: I am in the top 10% of the whiniest people when I am sick. The top thirty to forty percent is probably filled with men, as women seem to be more capable of getting … Continue reading
Sunday’s Sermon Today: Resurrected Dreams (II Kings 4:8-35)
My dad preached a sermon several years ago about what love was. He said that love was a relationship that must include God. We say we “loved” a movie or “love” that jersey/sweater, but that love involves people and our … Continue reading

Sunday’s Sermon Today: Raised By Ravens (I Kings 17)
My high school mascot is a raven. A raven? I know, I know, fans of Baltimore’s football team have been parading around in purple and black-themed gear since 1996 when Art Modell fled Cleveland. But we played against serious teams … Continue reading
