I am a Christian and I like writing about Christian things every now and then. My writing about Christianity is not hellfire and brimstone, nor do I try to impose my beliefs on others.
I had just arrived for church and I sat down next to one of my “married” and “wiser” lady friends. Somehow the subject turned to what I wanted to be when I grow up. “Well, one thing’s for sure…” I quipped referencing her and her husband, “I definitely don’t want to be older like y’all” …
There are a few things I despise about my religion that is Christianity. Wait, let me rephrase. There are a few things about people who call themselves Christians that I despise.

I usually end all of my e-mails with a quote: you can only delay the inevitable. My quotation is simply saying that the inevitable will occur, but one can postpone it.

When I lived in Phoenix, Arizona, I heard about that the Star Wars Episode II was going to be showing on the local IMAX. I was very excited because I was (and still am) a HUGE Star Wars fan. Our church planned to go see the movie as a group. I was very new to …
Lately I have been hearing the same quote over and over again: “No good deed goes unpunished.” At work, this quote seems to be the norm.

If you rush through things, you might miss a detail, get in an accident, or not reach the goal you are striving for. With both Christianity and fitness, it is …
Sometimes it is tough to keep an Eternal perspective when life has you pinned down and you feel trapped on this planet. I get frustrated that people on this planet have the nerve to tell somebody else, “You’re not good enough for me to talk to you.” I’m thankful that God — the creator of …
My friend cetroyer and I were having a discussion about salvation. I told him that one of my friends had asked me to describe why salvation was such a big deal. My best analogy was about gift cards.

It may be odd to see a public prayer on a blog. As odd as it may seem, I think the prayer is necessary so that I can get my thoughts out, and so that others can possibly join me. Keep in mind when praying that I am not talking to you; I am talking to God. I do have some links and quotes in my prayer so you can join in on the context. Please join me in prayer for my friends, Damon and Jill.
