Yesterday, I met with a friend that I had not spoken to because of an argument. He had told me over a year ago that he was sorry, but I was not ready to hear it. I probably “accepted” his apology at the time. But my hope was that I would [...]

Who said the end of the world would not be fun.
According to people at my parents’ church, Barack Obama is the anti-Christ. Thank goodness! All of the other anti-Christs from my childhood were so mean. Henry Kissinger was kind of grumpy. Nixon was too evil. Clinton was too messy (especially on blue dresses). Michael Jackson [...]

The Fam and I went out to dinner with some friends from our old church. They felt the need to tell Jenn and me how awful the new music director is.

I have always been a square peg in the round hole of faith. If I lived 1000 years ago I would be burned at the stake. That is OK, I like barbeque.
Yesterday I got an email from a customer who works at a Christian University in Lakeland Florida (yes, that one). She was asking for [...]

The Stranger
Billy Joel had a song in the 70’s about the stranger. The Basic idea is that we all have an alter ego that no one would recognize.
