While earning my Batchelder’s degree in college, I was a double major; mathematics and psychology. During one of my psychology classes, the professor discussed something that is relevant to this election year. He wanted to show us people have different ways of processing information. It would have been a great course if he taught […]

He Is Risen
I have had a number of people ask me to provide a simple narrative of what happened during the morning of Christ’s resurrection based on the Bible. Although it seems unnecessary since I wrote three Blogs in February 2018 explaining what transpired that morning (and they can still be read on this website), for sake […]
Cancer Survivor?
Growing up as a kid, my body developed faster than my peers. Consequently, I could perform sports at a higher level than most; better at baseball, basketball, and track. As an eighth grader (1960) I was a track star (of course all that changed in high school when other kids’ development matched mine and exceeded […]
Christmas Message
Now that another Christmas celebration has been completed, thought it proper to cover a subtle aspect of the Christmas message that is usually not highlighted. Refer to Luke 2: 8 – 12. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, […]
Non-Christian’s Eternal Location
My last Blog focused on where Christians spend eternity. Although not nearly as important, it is interesting to understand what the Bible says about where non-Christians spend eternity. The Bible is very clear about what happens at the end of Christ’s thousand-year period for dead non-Christians (Rev 20: 11-15) “1 And I saw a great […]
Christian’s Eternal Location
The Bible is very clear about what happens after death, but living in heaven for eternity is not in it. Instead it provides three distinct locations Christians will reside after their mortal bodies die. The first place is in heaven with Jesus. Paul makes this clear in Philippians 1:23. “But I am hard pressed […]
Self Talk
Years ago Dr Phil McGraw of the popular television show Dr Phil stated on his program that the most important aspect of a person’s life is how they talk to themselves inside their head. It is more than the simple process of thinking, which can be remembering events, solving problems, making decisions, and a multitude […]
The Steward Parable
There are a few of Jesus’ parables that are very hard to understand. Arguably the most difficult is found in Luke 16: 1-13. “…There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions. And he called him and said to him, ‘What is […]
House of God
Some of you may have noticed that I have not posted a blog for a while. Let me explain: I am building a “totally custom” house. In case some of you have never had the opportunity to build a totally custom house, let me give you a sample of details required. The process starts with […]
Evidence God Exists
Jewish mystics (Kabbalists) believe God dictated the first five books of the original Hebrew Bible (The Torah) to Moses, letter by letter. Because God did this, they further believe information about almost everything is embedded within the plaintext of those five books. Because of this belief, the Mystics have searched the Torah in […]
