So I got home from my Saturday morning Bible study and found my wife and daughter dutifully fulfilling the science-fiction requirements of our household, watching Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. As one of the best (if not THE best) Star Wars movie of all time (if not the best movie of all time, PERIOD...), this movie has a certain epic quality to it, including Luke’s Jedi training on Dagobah, and Vader’s revelation to Luke about his true parentage. I find, however, that the true value of this movie is not really in the vast story arc of good vs.... Continue reading

The planet Druidia represents your marriage, and your child is signified by Mega-Maid, come to suck the loving air out of your marriage’s emotional sails. Continue reading

Lord, You will use me, I know. I know that even my sin is used to magnify your forgiveness and mercy and grace. The more I don't deserve your love, and the more You give it to me, the more magnificent and glorious You are. My life is Yours. Please, PLEASE draw me to you and away from things that will hurt You and distance me from you. Continue reading

With a new daughter in my life to enjoy, life is hardly dull. I am speechless when it comes to describing the feeling of being a father. But overlayed upon all the wonder of God's creation in my life, is God's continuing work of Grace and freedom in my life. Over these past few weeks I find myself less and less able to go through a day without simply basking in His presence; sitting in His lap. It is easier than ever to slip into a place of solitude amongst the bustle of my life and just worship Him for... Continue reading

God loved us much, and so He died so that we would be justified in Him. We have the victory because He went to such degree to truly wipe away all stain... to trade our desert sand for rain. Continue reading

So, sex sells. SexualiTY sells. Sexual innuendo sells. Sexual humor sells. Sexual promiscuity sells. Argument over. And to whom do all these things appeal? Everyone...mostly guys, but a some girls as well...after all, who DOESN'T see worldly success when they look at a scantilly clad supermodel on a Paris runway?...But what about real, authentic, Biblically authored, sexual fidelity, sexual creativity, sexual compromise.

Ok... I'm a regular guy...a regular geek. I love sci-fi, fantasy and most of all, Star Wars. I occasionally wave my iPhone lightsaber app around at my co-workers or sport my Star Wars Rock Concert T-shirt on a casual Friday... I will geek out with you over Star Wars video game trilogy Dark Forces, or explain to you how in an expanded universe novel, Han & Leia's twin son turns to the dark side when he's about 30, or explain to you that it's called a TIE fighter because it has "Twin Ion Engines." I can even update you on... Continue reading

I want everyone who reads this to stop..... .....stop and think about what life should really be. I was listening to Steven Curtis Chapman's new single tonight after much football, relaxing and reading. Then I read this article in CCM magazine: Hope on the Rise And I thought, "God willing, I will have a new daughter by the end of this year. And I think that will be the closest to Heaven I will be able to get for a while. I think Steven has brought hope and a new vision for new fathers everywhere, especially of new little girls....

Well...I can't count how many years it has been since I kept a regularly active blog. Xanga premium was a nice venue for a while, but then things like Facebook take control, and you lose yourself in the massive "connectedness" of online anonymity. And then I hit the Twitter craze during GMA Immerse (see their twitter feed: @GMAimmerse) competing in constests for "Tweeter of the Day." And now here I am on TypePad, serious this time about keeping up an active blog that gets more than just occasional attention. I have been listening to John Piper's podcasts lately and the...
