Top Blog Posts for 2008

I’ve been blogging for six months now, posting 120 entries.  It’s been a learning experience and an enjoyable endeavor.  I’m still not writing as quickly as I would like or as accurately and seemingly every post requires an edit or two. My top entries so are an interesting collection: I assumed after a post had […]

A Boy (and Jesus) Feed 5,000 People

In Matthew 14:14-20 there is the dramatic account of Jesus’ s miracle to feed 5,000 people. This event is also recorded in Mark 6:31-44, Luke 9:10-17, and John 6:1-14. The people have been with Jesus all day; they are hungry and without food. Jesus asks how much food is available; the report is merely five […]

Animal Rescue 911

I’m not talking about the kind of liberation you might see on TV, like a beached whale, escaped circus animal, bear on an iceberg, or large game stuck in an inexplicable situation.

The church in Philadelphia was also weak, but in that weakness remained true to God and his word (see Revelation 3:8). This is most encouraging […]

After my Gopher post on Friday, I was contemplating a clever tongue-in-cheek entry about the assortment of “wildlife” in our back yard.  You see, we live in a subdivision in a decreasingly rural setting, which limits wild creatures to decidedly smaller and less wild varieties. In addition to gophers, rabbits are the most common, as […]

Go Go Gophers

In My Backyard and on TV Last week something outside caught my eye. Every few seconds some dirt would fly through the air. It was emanating from grass level in the middle of my back yard. Upon further investigation I discovered an industrious gopher furiously cleaning out the entrance to his subterranean abode. I stealthy […]

Celebrate Jesus’s Birth

But Without Over Eating I gained five pounds over the Christmas holiday—and it’s all my wife’s fault. Really. It is. But is this how I should best celebrate Jesus’s birth?
