I am hoping that a more orderly array of posts is coming. It has been some time, and we shall see. But for today, as Thanksgiving nears its end in the States (not the attitude, of course, but the day), I want to pass on some recently read words from Tim Keller within the context …
Early on Easter Sunday morning, with the context of this tumultuous period of 2020 in mind, I awoke and was given time to reflect—where my thinking was drawn to how this period can speak into my own present journey. It is often at these times, before I intentionally awake, that I begin to ponder some …
This post’s heading reflects Paul’s own logic and argument. Consider his flow through 1 Corinthians 15:12-19. We shall take it verse-by-verse, making commentary, underscoring the progression. +++++++ 12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? Translation: Paul is …
The shock of Friday has happened, but the hope of Sunday is coming!

I write this the very day after celebrating my 43rd. Not out, of course, otherwise this would be a little freaky to be reading; let alone writing. We are still very much too terrestrial. Yesterday amounted to one manic Monday in my world, to jive a tune, befitting my years and decades. There is little …
The following is out of the massive tome that you can read about on the Homepage. It has had only a small number of edits for this post. Enjoy! For the Fame of His Name ******* “Some Day You Will Be Old Enough to Start Reading Fairy Tales Again” I think reading this C. S. …
This may be defined as a more personal post; maybe in the real-time sense of the joust in the journey, anyway. As you may now be aware, if you have been working this platform as you know you should – After all, love does what is best – that I have announced plans to plant a …
This is one of those singular-plurals, as there is much more than just one challenge in this concept. Today, as the good wife and I were praying over our lunchtime, we brought our niece before our God with petition. This will require a little backstory.
