The Word
When I was a teenager I used to carry a Bible in my back pocket. It was great to have it available to read at a moment’s notice. It was the King James Translation. Back then it was the only full Bible available in the appropriate size, and I wanted more than just a New […]
Sunday Smiles
A few Biblically themed images for you today, including one with a Christmas theme – even though Advent doesn’t officially start until next Sunday.
The Question
Another older post resurfacing today, this one from March 3, 2015. In case your math skills are poor, that is seven years ago today. Wheo knew I would be posting still in 2022? Why do people ask me what my favorite Bible verse is? I just don’t get it. Is it some type of spiritual […]
Messiah
I don’t have time to binge-watch television. That explains why it took my wife and I almost two weeks to get through the ten episodes in the first season of the new Netflix series Messiah, which was released in January.

Back when I first started reviewing movies the process was simple. An advance press screening of the film would be scheduled […]
Which Direction Will You Choose?
It’s a new year. I could wax philosophical, but I’ll save that for another day perhaps. But I have been thinking about choices. We make them all the time, usually without thinking about it. For example, each morning I choose to put on a pair of socks. There are other options – I could go […]
Trust
A roadside stand in Ihrlingen, unattended. You put your money in the red container if you are going to take anything. The sign is a reminder though to those who may be tempted. “Das 7. Gebot: Du sollst nicht stehlen” translates as “The seventh commandment: Thou Shall Not Steal.” That’s from Exodus 20:15 in The […]
Don’t Ask Me!
Why do people ask me what my favourite Bible verse is? I just don’t get it. Is it some type of spiritual test, to see if I am good enough? The Bible is a universal book. Each person reacts to it differently. It feels a little weird to me to single one verse out for […]
