When I was a kid I learned that 1 + 1 = 2. I don’t know if it made a lot of sense then, but since that time this simple little equation has served me quite well. It helped me through grade school, served as a foundation in high school and eventually enabled me to […]
ONE–what a fascinating concept! Strangely enough, it has multiple meanings. Check out part of Webster’s definition (the rest isn’t exactly relevant to our current purposes): 1: being a single unit or thing 3 a : being the same in kind or quality <both of one species> b (1) : constituting a unified entity of two or […]
I went for a hike the other evening after I left my office. A bit cold, to be sure, but the beauty of my trek was well worth the effort. A bright sun setting on the hilltops. A semi-fresh layer of snow covering the ground and still sticking to the trees. And the deer! Did […]
Sam the intern and I were privileged to spend some time last week in upstate NY at Elim Fellowship’s annual leadership conference—an encouraging event for sure. I came away with many good things, especially what I believe is a renewed perspective of the big picture of the U.S. church. Including, but certainly not limited to […]

If it’s broken, my buddy John can fix it (or so he thinks!). John is always quick to volunteer the use of his Gorilla Glue whenever I am in need. When Gorilla Glue appeared on the market a few years ago John and I took interest. We’re both typical fix-it males involved in a never-ending search for products that […]
Neckties are Evil! In September of 2009 the prime minister of Bangladesh banned male government employees from wearing suits and ties in order to save energy. How ungodly a decision! Seriously now, it shouldn’t matter that Bangladesh is suffering through a debilitating energy shortage and that banning the extra clothing will help to lessen the […]
Let’s face it, as any parent or pet owner would know—there is no pleasant way to clean up vomit! My son once had a dog that always managed to throw up on the carpet when I was the only one home. Because it was on the carpet I couldn’t wait for the boy to come […]
Up the Creek Without a Paddle? Without question the Church is currently losing the battle to shape American culture.
