Back in 1996, I went to a Missions trip to Shanghai, China. During our debrief period, we took an 18 hour train ride (that took 24 hours) to Beijing. We did a bunch of sightseeing including Tiananmen Square (somber), Temple of Heaven (ornate), Summer Palace (huge), and Maidonglao (McDonald’s). But the place that I was [...]

You might have heard about the HS football star that disarmed a gun-wielding girl on a school bus just a few days ago. People will very easily link this to the story of Jesus, seeing how someone put themselves in harm’s way in order to ‘save’ us. However, I would like to remind us all, [...]

That was the year the United Nations created World Water Day to raise awareness for the water crisis in the world. I feel sorry that the world’s water crisis has only recently invaded my consciousness. If you [...]

This week marked the beginning of the Lent Season. The Season of Lent is a time of self-reflection and penitence in anticipation of Easter. Towards that purpose, we focus on self-restraint and preparation through fasting. In the past we have challenged people to fast from something in their life to help them rely less on [...]

This is one of the weirdest, ironic and sad stories that I’ve read in a while. Basically, a guy cheats on his wife with 5 mistresses. He pays their rent and a monthly allowance. The market crashes. He decides he’ll only keep one mistress. He holds a pageant (seriously!) to decide who he will keep. [...]
