Next month, Lisa and I will celebrate 27 years of marriage. They say opposites attract and, in a lot of ways, we’re opposites. While Lisa is a neat freak, I tend to toward slop. She likes parties. I prefer isolation. She enjoys chick flicks, and I think they’re the biggest waste of time on the [...]
Well, I finally got an office. Actually, it’s CD’s old bedroom. He figured it was time to spread his wings, although he didn’t go far — he’s across the hall from Theo at Meme and Jake’s. Anyway, I have great aspirations for my new office digs, I already started looking at the DeskView site so [...]
Browsing women’s lingerie is not my thing. But the Abercrombie & Fitch’s “eye candy†thong underwear brought me to a standstill. Why? Because it was sized for 10 year old girls. In an age of ultra low-rise this and ultra skin-tight that, escalating STD’s and Girls Gone Wild, you’d think the Modesty Movement would be [...]
Apparently, Christiane Amanpour, CNN’s chief international correspondent, would have us think so. Actually, she’s part of a much larger movement to whitewash the differences between the Judeo-Christian faith and Islam. This week CNN will air God’s Warriors, an exposé on religious extremism among Jews, Muslims and Christians. The three-part program is preempting Larry King, so [...]

The discovery by Meave Leakey, a member of a famous family of paleontologists, shows that two species of early human ancestors lived at the same time in Kenya. [...]
After reading THIS INTERVIEW with Madeleine L’Engle (thanks Chestertonian Rambler for the link), I was tempted to title this post Loopy L’Engle or Christian Author Loses Footing. Really, it’s a brief, interesting interview. There’s just a couple of comments that left me kinda cross-eyed. Like, this: Q: What are you against? L’Engle: Narrow-mindedness. I’m against [...]
His books have influenced more Christians than possibly any other author; his stories are classics, beloved by children and adults alike. There are foundations to his legacy, a movie about him, bumper stickers that quote him and his caricature can be found on t-shirts and coffee mugs. C.S. Lewis is the poster boy for “Christian [...]
I’ve got some misc. writing news to report. First, my article entitled War Stories is up at Gina Holmes’ Novel Journey site. I enjoy doing the monthly entries for NJ, however I tend to feel I’m rankling her rather erudite crowd. This piece is no exception as it teeters into the realm of politics. Really, [...]
