On Complaining and Grumbling
20 May 2011, 6:09 am

“Quit your complaining,” the parent says to the child. There’s also the variation on this theme – “Quit your grumbling!” It’s one of the things children are to learn early on, to curtail complaining and grumbling. I guess we never really grow up because it’s a tendency we continue to fight all of our lives! [...]

The End of The World
21 May 2011, 6:49 am

Today is the day a radio broadcaster claims Christ will return. The media has had a fun time with the man’s claim, and the amazing amount of publicity it has generated. Sadly, it has produced a caricature of a key teaching of Jesus, one image being that of the proverbial man wearing a sandwich board [...]

The fact that Christ did not return on May 21, as religious broadcaster Harold Camping had predicted, gave the media a subject that provided comic relief.

A God Who Yearns
3 June 2011, 6:39 am

The Game of LIFE
4 June 2011, 7:06 am

Kids love playing games, as long as they’re winning. They clap their hands enthusiastically and exclaim, “This is fun!” However, if they start to lose it’s common to hear them say dejectedly, “I don’t want to play anymore.” Wise adults playing a game with children will encourage them to keep playing even if they’re losing.

A Faith Outside the Box
7 June 2011, 3:30 pm

“Honey do” lists, either written or implied, are a part of any marriage. It’s true of Diann and myself. We have expectations of what each of us will do. Carrying out the garbage, clearing the table, mowing the lawn, doing the laundry, fixing the light fixture, and thousands of other things that we do for [...]
