Captain Howdy Has The Answers

Monday, October 31st, 2005 | Posted in General

I got drawn into watching a bunch of Halloween specials about hauntings and exorcism on the Discovery Channel last night. The whole “time change” thing messed me up too. I justified staying up late watching TV because I gained a whole extra hour of rest — makes sense to me.
One of the specials [...]

No Memorials

Thursday, October 27th, 2005 | Posted in General

Last night on Nightline the topic was Rwanda. A reporter went back to the very spot he visited just 11 years ago. They replayed the footage from his previous visit to a large refugee camp. There was death and pain for as far as the eye could see. There were trucks dumping corpses into mass [...]

End of the Innocence

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 | Posted in Family

Homeschooling and private school are a big deal in Christian circles these days and is discussed often as most of our friends are parents of young children. I recently realized that I don’t have problems with the idea of homeschooling itself — as there are numerous benefits. I just subscribe to a different philosophy of [...]

Sinderella

I have spent way too much mental energy on the question of, “Should a Christ-follower watch movies, read books, or have anything to do with the idea of magic in fiction?” that Eric posed earlier this week. My final answer is buried down in 40 something comments so I just wanted to highlight it here [...]

Neither Here Nor There

So the Monday after my daughter’s Cinderella/Princess birthday party Eric asked a question that really got my brain processing. In my quest to be objective I ran across another question that is a complete rabbit trail but something I have never thought about.
What would happen to the soul in the teleportation process? If technology could [...]

Where’s The Fruit?

Thursday, October 13th, 2005 | Posted in Kingdom Bits

So now that you know where I’m coming from in my previous post, here’s the real question.
Where are the works and fruit that are to be evidence of our faith? I would say that most people that can show their fruit are serving in regards to the local church. Just as God called the Levites [...]

Works of Faith

Thursday, October 13th, 2005 | Posted in Kingdom Bits

Certain questions tell a lot about the person asking them. Whenever the question of faith v/s works comes up someone always seems to end up asking a question having to do with how much obedience is actually required to be a Christian. As if maybe we could nail down a minimum percentage of [...]

It’s Profiling … So What

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005 | Posted in General

Okay, here’s something of note. On the road from my house to Alpharetta I pass the North Fulton Islamic Center. It’s basically a residential house that has been renovated to seat more people and is being used as a house of worship. The house looks like all the others along the road except for the [...]

Traffic Humor

Monday, October 10th, 2005 | Posted in General

I heard a traffic report of WSB AM 750 today that went something like this:
“Be careful on the outer loop, a Mayfield cow mascot fell off the top of a truck and is causing udder disaster.”
The best part was that the delivery was as dry as a bone as they went on to report the [...]

Open to Interpretation

Thursday, October 6th, 2005 | Posted in Kingdom Bits

Okay so we have this book. It’s the most popular book in the entire world. It tells us about God, man, and how man relates to God. The information in this book is of the greatest importance. It is the key to whether we will spend eternity in a state of life or death!
Yet somehow [...]
