A few days ago I had a medical event that turned out to be non-life threatening but of course, you don’t know that at the time. At the time you think you’re dizzy because your sugar has dropped. At the time you think things are getting worse because you’ve not eaten well. Then when you start to see double and your skin turns hot and the sweat starts to bead on your skin, fear begins to take hold. I’ve dealt…
A quick image search on Google returns a slew of images. Stress and work or some other giant wave of problems about to come crashing down on the individual. This should come as no surprise, the word ‘overwhelming’ isn’t often seen as something positive. Polarizing elections, a global pandemic, continuious economic upheavels; it is little wonder that the Western world is reporting record cases of anxiety, depression, and other mental disorders. Social media connects us in ways that were impossible…
Spoier-free review of The Rise of Skywalker plus a note to fellow geeks and nerds regarding what this continued universe means.
A princess, loved by her people, floats miles above the planet surface in a habitat designed to prolong her life. At least that’s what I think is happening in this image. As varied as tastes in art is, so are the stories that we can glean from them.
I was concerned that I would have a hard time explaining this book so I looked at other reviews to see their approach. I was pleased to see that quite a few were as lost as I was. Imagine for a moment that you had to write a report or a review of a little-known story called “Alice in Wonderland”. How would you describe it? A girl goes down the rabbit hole and a whole bunch of crazy…
Are your thoughts on Waffle House that of the place you go after having one too many at your local watering hole? Think again …
Well I have arrived. I am now one of the cool kids. I have been too and purchased from the Maryville Farmers Market. For the past several weeks I’ve been meeting some folks at the Vienna Coffee House on Saturday mornings. We’re meeting there for our Circle4 group doing a book study on Timothy Keller’s “A Reason for God”. It’s a great book, easy to read and a great study on the arguments against Christianity and its critics. I…
A little over a week ago I posted about reconnecting with a friend of mine from high school. During one of our previous conversations it came out that I had not read The Hobbit. Oh I’d seen the movie but I’d never taken the time to sit and read the actual book. I had made it a point to read The Chronicles of Narnia which she had not read so we agreed to a book swap so we could both catch up on some good fiction. I use an Android phone with the Kindle app so I thought I’d go download a sample of the book to see if the Kindle software was all it was cracked up to be. I found out that it was pretty slick in that it synched where I was reading via Kindle for the PC and my Kindle app so there’s no need for bookmarks or trying to remember where I was on my PC vs. my phone. Of course the sample ends during the Dwarf song of the first chapter so you’re left in anticipation. Not knowing when I would be able to see my friend agai
My first C. S. Lewis book . . . well aside from The Chronicles of Narnia collection. Which I suppose I should start there; I think it speaks to Lewis’ great amount of latitude in his ability to go from writing children’s stories to a book like The Screwtape Letters. Admittedly it’s been a few months since I’ve finished the book, which reminds me I need to make sure I get the copy back to my pastor 🙂 This is…
This is the first of 12 books I’ve challenged myself to read this year. It happened to be the first because it was the first I could get my hands on. It’s written by Steve Gallagher who runs Pure Life Ministries in Kentucky. This is the first and only book I’ve read by Steve and I thought I’d tackle ‘At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry’. My thoughts are as follows: Authors Approach I really like the way Steve interweaves portions…
