the winner

Ever since school got out for the summer, oddly enough, I have been reading a lot. 
I picked up a few books at a local church book sale. 
I have heard really good things about David Baldacci (mainly because of the movie based on his book, Absolute Power) and I found this book for $.50 so I [...]

Divine Commodity

Skye Jethani is one of my favorite authors.  As far as I am aware, he has not written any other books, but I am going to plead with him to write some more.  Many more.
This book was great.  I loved it so much.  And I needed it so much.  I, myself, am a Consumer Christian.

Lost generation

I am beginning to wonder what the future holds for me. 
But not just for me. 
For you. 
For my family. 
For the people I meet on the street.
America is in a bleak state. 
It looks like the sun cannot shine over the darkness that surrounds us.

Gran Torino

My Memorial Day was spent at Vickie’s house and we all decided simply to be lazy and watch a couple of movies. 
Here is one of the movies we watched.
Gran Torino.  Written, directed and starring the one and only Clint Eastwood. 
I have always had a man-crush on Clint Eastwood.  Come on, he owns one of the [...]

Henri Nouwen quote

Over the past few weeks, throughout the blogosphere, I have seen many people quote Henri Nouwen. 
Although, I have never read any of his books, some of his quotes have rocked me to the core over the past couple of years. 
Here is one that hit me hard this morning:
To pray, I think, does not mean to [...]

In many churches Christianity has been watered down until the
solution is so weak that if it were poison it would not hurt anyone,
and if it were medicine it would not cure anyone!”  – A.W. Tozer
I have been lucky in my life to have been in some good churches.  But I have been contemplating over the [...]

Can you agree with me that there are few things more satisfying than seeing money roll into your pockets?
Can you even fathom or imagine a future with a new kind of currency? 
Can you picture a place where we don’t have the same old dollar bills that we are used to seeing rolling into, but mostly coming out of, [...]
