The solution
Can truth be known? Can anything even be said to be true? Is what we perceive with our senses reality, or is it all illusion? I’m reading a book that examines the… Continue reading
There’s something wrong with us
For those of no religious persuasion the whole thing about Jesus being a human/divine sacrifice can seem pretty weird. What kind of God would demand such a thing before he’ll “save” anyone? If… Continue reading
Possibly, definitely, God exists
I didn’t argue much as a child. At least that’s what my (sometimes selective) memory tells me. Yeah, I’m pretty sure I almost always agreed with my siblings that it was in fact… Continue reading
Giving up the chase
Imagine reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John and coming to a scene like this: Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through… Continue reading
Says who?
WHAT DO WE NEED?! OBJECTIVE TRUTH! WHEN DO WE NEED IT?! RIGHT NOW!! I doubt we’ll be hearing any responsorial protest chants like this anywhere anytime soon…even though this commodity essential for daily living is… Continue reading
The greatest miracle
It always strikes me as odd when skeptics or atheists dismiss the virgin conception of Jesus as a ridiculous impossibility. The late former atheist Christopher Hitchens – “former” because now he knows the… Continue reading

Dude, you’re dirty and drowning
Sometimes, actually quite often, I marvel and wonder why so many people, some of them family and friends, reject the truth of Christianity which has so thoroughly convinced me. Some may claim an… Continue reading
YODO?
My birthday is this month. Not sure what day it is though. I’ll be 30…or maybe I already am 30. Naw…I think it was mid-January or later. I remember the occasion of my… Continue reading

A Christmas story
-with apologies to everyone expecting poignant family moments, angelic birth announcements, or Red Ryder rifles and leg lamps Those hateful games, which made the spectacle of human suffering and death the delight of… Continue reading
There’s knowing, and then there’s knowing
Well, it’s happened again. Just when I’m about to quit Facebook…except for Scrabble…I can’t quit Scrabble. Scrabble to me is what working out is to others…I need it, am rejuvenated by it, and… Continue reading
