It’s less than a month until the official release of my Bible study called Holy Vocabulary. And, as I guess any author does, I’m asking the Lord for it to have a great, great impact in the world. So it got me thinking about books that have radically influenced my life. And that’s the subject [...]

Well, here we are. April. March Madness is over. Football season is a distant memory. There is hardly a glimpse of the baseball playoffs. What do we have in the sports world?
The NBA Playoffs.
I know I’m gonna get hammered for this, but I don’t think the NBA playoffs cut the mustard. They’re about 3 years [...]

Yesterday was April 15th, or Tax Day (insert forboding music here). Yes, it’s that day of the year when we grumble. Roll our eyes. Stand in line at the post office. So let’s do today’s question about this unofficial holiday in the United States.
Imagine with me that the IRS sent out a notice saying that [...]

Hopefully you’re still riding the high from Easter last week. We had a great weekend, too. Lots of memories and images in my mind to help me remember. Here’s a picture of us on Sunday morning:
