Jesus is real. That’s what the big sign on the side of the interstate proclaimed. Homemade sign, about the size of a commercial billboard. Black background. White letters. No church affiliation. No website. Simply, “Jesus is real.” Don’t know who to credit for this revelation. It is in a relatively well trafficked area, which willContinue reading “Jesus is real”

Bad theology
That might be a stretch. While on Spring Break I noticed several “advertisements” for various churches that I passed along the way. Some were signs in front of churches, and others were signs along the road way. Most seemed to have a home made quality about them. But the quality that linked each of themContinue reading “Bad theology”

I am trying a fast from something each month, just to see if I can. April – alcohol. I did jokingly tellContinue reading “Discipline beats Creativity”

Every class generatesContinue reading “End of the semester”
