It’s the end of the world as we know it… and I feel fine. As you may have already heard, Harold Camping has been getting his small army of volunteers to spread the word that the world is going to end tomorrow, 5/21/2011, at 6am. So, naturally, this will be could be probably won’t be [...]

There are plenty of things that make the job of a pastor difficult*. These are well documented. But one of the difficulties is confusion. * I love my job. Pastors are called to build their church. Not the dozen churches in his town. Not the hundred churches in the surrounding towns. Not the thousands of [...]

On August 5, a mine shaft in Chile caved in, trapping 33 miners almost 1000 feet underground*. Yesterday, after 69 days, they began rescuing the 33 miners one-by-one. The magnitude of the effort to save them cannot be understated. The story can be followed here. * That’s about the distance from the Empire State Building Observation Deck [...]

I don’t really watch too much TV. I’ve never watched American Idol. Never watched Survivor. And I’ve never watched Dancing With the Stars.

In case you hadn’t heard, Laura Ling and Euna Lee have been freed from their detainment in North Korea and pardoned from their sentence of 12 years in a prison work camp for entering the country illegally to conduct a smear campaign. As soon as the story broke, I tweeted, jokingly, that “Bill takes the [...]

Prov. 31:1 The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him: Prov. 31:2 What are you doing, my son? What are you doing,  son of my womb? What are you doing,  son of my vows? 3 Do  not give your strength to women, your ways to those  who destroy kings. 4 It [...]

Prov. 30:1 The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The oracle. The man declares, I am weary, O God; I am weary, O God, and worn out. 2 Surely I am too  stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man. 3 I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge [...]
