Notes On The Resurrection
I have written about the resurrection. Recently, I gave my reasons for believing in it despite my insistence that parts of the bible, such as the Adam and Eve story found in the beginning chapters of Genesis are myth. I won’t defend that view as I have in a previous post. I have written about …
At Church Week 5
My class is over! I was both sad and relieved by this. I was able to share my love of the St. Francis Prayer, what I have discovered through this prayer, and how it has helped me connect with God on a deep level. This prayer has been a big part in my seeking God …
I believe In The Resurrection
This is something I need to answer for myself as well as my readers. If this helps good, if not you can dismiss it. After all, I am merely another believer in Jesus Christ. My hope is to express my genuine belief that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is what saves and …
Love Not Fear
1 John 4: Let us love one another, for love comes from God. This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone …
A Life of Real Devotion to God

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life I am preparing a class on the St. Francis prayer. I am both excited and nervous about leading this class. I have never done anything like this, yet I am excited to share what I have learned about this prayer with my church. …
At Church Week Four
This past week was quite difficult for me. Tuesday morning found me in the emergency room with an upper respiratory infection. It began on Sunday after dinner was sitting watching some program on TV with my mom when I felt a wave of something odd float over me. I don’t know if you have had …
My Thoughts On Ray Bradbary
I was saddened to hear that short story writer, novelist, and screenwriter Ray Bradbury had passed away. I have read a few of the many tributes penned online to this literary icon and I thought I would share a few of mine. I hadn’t heard much about the legendary writer recently with his passing we lose a …
At Church Week Three
So, my class continued this week. We discussed forgiveness–how difficult, life-altering, and personal it is. I began the class by sharing two recent instances where I had to forgive or my life would’ve taken for the much worse. We forgive not for the other person or to say its Ok. We forgive to heal our …
