We use words to compartmentalize, categorize, and define. For example, I would define my Christian theology (or spirituality) as a Protestant Evangelical Reformed Charismatic Episcopal/Anglican Christian. Each of these words brings a certain characteristic or understanding to what kind of Christian I am. Historians and sociologists use stereotypes to categorize [...]

Have you ever watched that TV show Hoarders? It’s crazy how out of control some of these people get with their stuff, huh? It’s easy to see the problems when we look at the extreme examples like this. It’s kinda in your face when a person’s inability to let things go [...]

I had a moment of weakness. I’m ashamed to say that I cheated. And it wasn’t just a little bit. I cheated bad. Yeah, I feel horrible about it, mostly because I know there’s no way I can take it back. I wish I could. I really wish I could. [...]
I write the truth. I have written a lot of words over the course of my 32 years on this planet and I find one element that binds them to those who stumble onto them. One string runs down the middle of my ramblings and (to God’s glory), that string [...]

I’m fat. Technically, the BMI calculators I just used tell me that I’m obese. My ever-increasing waistline is a clear example of my excess in the area of food. And watching my fat-pants get even tighter is a constant reminder that I’ve got to do something, because going up another [...]
The thoughts running through my head make me sick to my stomach. The kind of sick that causes me to want to shake it up and do whatever it takes to purge myself of the crap (yeah, I said it) that spoils everything else that’s in there. And I’m blaming [...]

It’s Saturday morning, and I’m taking care of the kids. Not just my nine year-old son and nine month-old daughter, but two of my nephews had just spent the night too. They all just finished breakfast and the boys were looking for something to do. “Hey Uncle Dan. Can Samuel [...]
For the record, I hate talking about politics. Specifically, I hate how divided people become when talking about politicians and how they deal with the issues. I know that ‘hate’ is a pretty strong word, and I rarely use it around here. But I feel like it’s important for people [...]
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” – Genesis 2:16-17 (ESV) [...]
Reading blogs gives me a chance to step into the lives of others. I often come across many Christians who bash gathering in church for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons are painfully legitimate and some are simply unwilling to stay and make a difference because they come [...]
I read an article in USA Today that talked about the rise of the ‘So Whats.’ What’s that? It’s people who do not claim to be a people of faith or staunch atheists; instead, they are a growing group who say, “So what?” As one person interviewed said, “(Growing up) [...]
