In his book The Cost of Discipleship, Bonhoeffer puts forth an intriguing proposition. He suggests that the one of the fundamental characteristics of the Body of Christ (the Church) is that it is a visible community. I think in the midst of government-forced COVID restrictions against the church, his words have great implications for the…

Now that JoAnn’s van is finally fixed, thought I would detail the goings-on regarding this whole fiasco. It all started back in January. JoAnn, the littles, and Evanna were up at Seattle Children’s for appointments. After the appointments, they were in the process of leaving Seattle when a King County Metro bus hit her van…

With the 4th of July coming up tomorrow, have been thinking a lot about being an American. But rather than it being some sort of political post, or a post full of the kind of cliches that come out in droves this time of year, I want to give a personal perspective from the time…

I’ve waited several days to write this, for several reasons: to avoid the knee-jerk reactions that we’re seeing all around us; to collect my thoughts; to allow for additional information to come from the investigation; to not appear to be jumping on the bandwagon that so many in the media, in politics, and in social…

Target’s had a difficult week, in case you were hiding out in a cave and hadn’t noticed. On April 19th, they released a statement in reference to the political brouhaha in several states regarding transsexual use of bathrooms. It appears Target had apparently, in a bid to make quick, politically-correct political points in the presidential…

The year was 2003, and the left’s protest du jour was anti-war and pro-peace. But there was a significant undercurrent to the protests that was anything but peaceful, and just like the current sets of protests…focused on disruption, intimidation, even violence, and were thoroughly funded. How do I know, you ask? Well, aside from watching…

Earlier today, Dr. Ben Carson endorsed Donald Trump for President, surprising many. His detractors came out of the woodwork hard and fast, complaining that he’d betrayed his beliefs (both political and his faith) or that he undermined his (apparently former) polite demeanor. The harshest critics seem to be those that in the weeks previously had supported…
