Yep, we need to worry the devil
I saw this shared on Google+, and I liked it so much that I though I would post it here as well. Sadly, I think I am more often the type of Christian of whom the devil says gleefully, “Oh good, he’s up!” Do you remember the story from the Book of Acts 19? Now […]
So, you say you gave up being Protestant?

There is no point to this post. It is for the meat lovers among us. So, do any of you have any good marinating recipes for meat that involve heavy amounts of Greek beer?
Don’t leave Nam without it
“PTSD, don’t leave Nam without it.” Though the picture above is of a patch, I saw the saying above on a t-shirt yesterday. I ached when I saw it. PTSD has been present in every war ever fought. Sometimes it has been called combat fatigue. Sometimes it has been called shell shock. In 1000 BC […]
A little discipline goes a long way
On 29 March, I published a post on how Pope Francis took practical action to rein in a bishop who had spent inappropriate, and maybe even immoral, amounts of church monies on building a personal mansion. He removed the bishop from the diocese and simply said that the bishop would receive some future assignment. I […]
