Well we tried another church this past Sunday. Online it looked quite a bit more modern than the one we attended last week. There was hope that it meant it would be a bit more modern in its thinking/preaching/attitude than the last one as well. Well, it was certainly different in a ways. It was…

Trying Out a New Church – part 1 – What to Wear and What Bible to Read
I mentioned a few weeks ago about how the church our family was attending in Idaho went pretty political from the pulpit right before the election. That rubbed “B” and I poorly and so we decided during the Thanksgiving break to take start taking a look at other churches in the area. So, I spent…
Pronouns and Jesus
He/Him/Sir She/Her/Madam They/Them Here in the United States of America the concept of using someone’s “preferred” pronoun is something that can be a nonissue for some and a big issue for others. I don’t know what it is like in other countries, but I know that here, depending on where you live/work/school/be active, this has…

Christmas and Easter “Christians”
What does it mean to be a follower of Christ? I have talked about my faith before here, and today I want to talk a little bit about attending church and how it relates, in my opinion, to being a Christ-follower. I have attended church my entire life. I always went to church on Sunday…
No Worries
What does it mean to not worry? I am, by nature, not a worrier. It drives my wife crazy sometimes. I have lived a very blessed life and I am sure that has played a very big role in my lack of worrying. I haven’t had anything truly awful ever happen to me. I haven’t…
