Looking Back Again

Round about a year ago, I was looking for a new job, a new place to live, and a new direction in my life. Now I have two jobs, a place to live, and enough direction to figure out where I should probably head from here. I'm probably going to sound like a broken record...

New Year, New Schedule

Once again, I find myself changing my blog schedule. I'll be posting my blogs on Tuesday, since my new schedule this year allows better writing time on that day. Speaking of new schedules, this past year has been full of changes for me. I went from one job to another,...

A Bit on Pleasing and Serving God

If you are pleasing God, it doesn't matter who else you please. If you are not pleasing God, it still doesn't matter who else you please. Serving God is never part time, it is a full commitment. Since Jesus is Lord, we should act like it.

If God Is Good, Then Why Is There Evil?

This is a loaded question, and one that requires more than a single blog post to explain, but I'll give you a basic explanation. I'm going to start by saying that sometimes when people ask this question or a variation of it, they don't always want the answer or...
