I remember almost nothing about Jim Bakker. I have a sort of skewed vision of he and his wife standing at the pulpit, tearfully asking for support for their ministry; PTL (acronym for Praise The Lord.) Things get blurry though as to whatever happened to him or his love affair with Jessica Hahn (whom I [...]
I have been staring at this empty block for almost a half hour now. My only company the sound of the overhead fan in my 5th wheel office. I don’t like to write depressing things. I don’t like to add too much of the world’s reality into my own life or writing. But today I [...]
I detest almost all Christian films. They lack budget. They lack quality actors (we can thank Kirk Cameron and that ‘other’ Baldwin brother for that). They lack depth. They just lack. Christian films today conjure up thoughts of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ or that abominable Left Behind series. Neither a great premise [...]
I haven’t been to a church on my own accord in almost five years. I did attend a church several times in NYC but it more at the expectations of others rather than for my own benefit. I went closed-minded, half-hearted, and bitter. So, needless to say I got nothing out of it. When Pan [...]
“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.” – Mahatma Ghandi I challenge you to TXT your prayer to God. What would you say? 7 words or less! Originally [...]

I have decided to reevaluate my beliefs of a messiah. For those readers who are already confused….I am Messianic because I am a believer in God’s chosen Messiah, Yeshua. Yeshua is the original name of God’s Son, our Saviour. “Messiah” is the Hebrew word for the Greek word “Christ” -they both mean “annointed” or “chosen”. [...]
Today was Go Topless Day across the United States. That’s right. Go topless. Women (and some men) across the nation gathered to demonstrate and exercise the female constitutional right to go topless by actually assembling and going topless in public spaces. The visual effort was also used to reemphasize Women’s Equality Day. Now, as a [...]
“Incredible!” whispered Jesus, his head near Mack’s in the darkness. “I never get tired of this.” “Even though you created it?” Mack asked. “I created it as the Word, before the Word became flesh. So even though I created this, I see it now as a human. And I must say, it is impressive!” – [...]
We all know (okay, so maybe I had to look it up too) that in 1456, Gutenberg printed the first Bible using movable type. Until the 19th century no record was kept as to how many more Bibles were printed in some form or another. However, starting in 1816 The Bible Society of the United [...]
