..Is it vanity to create art even if nobody else gets to enjoy it? …Is it vanity to serve God so I can grow, even if the point is not to benefit others? It has been my hobby for years to create and record music.  If not a talent, it has been a burning desireContinue reading “Vanity!…Art and Duty”

I once ran into a friend of mine after a Phish concert. We used to play cowboys and Indians as kids. He asked me what songs did the band sing. He apparently was a “faithful friend” of the band, something that was popularized by the Grateful Dead and inherited by Phish, a following…of campers (peopleContinue reading “Live Shows and Faithful Friends”

“Complexity haunts me for I am 2 men, entrenched in a battle that I’ll never win.”              – DC Talk Man, can’t we all identify a bit with the Jekyll and Hyde syndrome?  If you can’t then you might be what’s known as a rock. It’s so interesting to meContinue reading “Complexity and The Hook”

What about below the belt?  What’s your secret of getting back on the horse when you fall off and get kicked in the face? I’ve been thinking about Jesus’ parables that took their form to sink in only with those who had “ears to hear”, namely his disciples, although even they didn’t get it muchContinue reading ““Everybody has a plan til they get punched in the mouth.” – Mike Tyson”

Where do we start?  Why are we trying to remake ourselves, get to the other side? If we’re in ministry, we tell our financial supporters what business (aka busyness) our work is about.  “Well we offer after school tutoring, relationships, and Bible studies!”  But not all necessarily in that order, lest we return to theContinue reading “The Business of Ministry & the ministry of business”

I was introduced to the concept of Pharmakeia by a friend who reiterates the directive given to him by his acting psychiatrist at the time.  My friend asked why was he being prescribed medication for what was called a psychosis.  The doctor replied, “For people like you”. Sounds scary but is this attitude indicative ofContinue reading “Pharmakeia?..or just Pharmaceuticals?”

“for many spirits have gone out into the world, and not all of them are from God”. I’m writing this one today mainly to sort out something for myself.  Hope it applies to you and of course please reply if it does… So I’ve been told up and down that when I feel a spiritualContinue reading “Testing the Spirits”

So I’ve jokingly decided that the Mandalurian must be a Christian bounty hunter, fitting into the Presby-costal denomination… He sure has a knack for justice, and a bit of compassion, along with killings to add.  But he has a good work ethic, something staying alive and keeping his ship in the air will do forContinue reading “The Mandalaurian – A review”

Things you can do on your butt Play a video game, journal, watch the dog gnaw on a bone, check out new apps or podcasts, pray, watch the paint dry because you don’t have a tv, lament the past and the future while being stuck in the present, Facebook and twitter (consecutively), plan how longContinue reading “Things you can do on your butt”

Ok show of hands who believes in NWO… I think it makes sense, from the masons to the secret societies guiding presidents like pawns, to the banks funding world wars, to e pluribus unum, all seeing eye…from Mordor. I saw an article recently that was titled, “we love a good conspiracy”! I think it wouldn’tContinue reading “New World Disorder?”
