Newtown Comments

Here are a few thoughts on the Newtown, CT school shooting. They do not claim to be more appropriate, accurate, or wiser than those of others — they just represent my reaction to what I have read and heard. I was horrified to see lots of posts from Christians linking the Newtown shooting with the [...]

Journey of Faith church performed a Christmas “Flash Mob” at the South Bay Galleria in Redondo Beach on December 18, 2010, much to the delight of local shoppers. I would like to use this video to wish all my readers a joyous and not too hectic Advent season. H/T: Michele Phoenix

Which way am I facing?

From December 1984 through September 1989 we (that is, initially my wife and I, then Jessica arrived, and finally, about a month before we left, Stephen came along) lived in the Dallas, TX area, in the United States. There we were part of a church, and we still consider that time our best church experience. [...]
