Time to Fly: Commitment Number Four
This is the fourth of seven in a countdown for 2015 commitments. As followers of Christ, we promise ourselves to stop trying to be better and start being different.

Time to Fly: Commitment Number Five
This is the third of seven in a countdown for 2015 commitments. Unlike typical New Year’s resolutions, making substantive spiritual commitments begins by asking, “What kind of person do I want to be?” then taking each day and acting on these commitments.

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned. The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.” ~William Butler Yeats, The Second Coming […]
Happy Thanksgiving with ISIS and Westboro Baptist Church
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) continues to destroy everything in its path, particularly the Christians and Yazidis in the region. Non-Muslim or Muslim, the Sunni terrorist group shows no mercy to those who do not agree with its interpretation of the Quran. We are all aware of the videos of ISIS partisans […]

Los Angeles Laker guard Kobe Bryant just achieved what may appear to be a dubious honor: he has missed more shots than any player in the history of the National Basketball Association.
