For most of my early life I was a biggish kid. Not tall, just...well let's say I was largish sideways. Sport wasn't in my genetic make-up. I preferred reading books. I also loved my comics. At the back of the comics there almost always was an ad aimed at kids like myself. If you sent someone money they'd mail you a … [Read more...]
Conversations With God?
Can one really have conversations with God? I mean other than praying to Him. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against … [Read more...]

Welcome to a New Gospel
Welcome to a new gospel - welcome to the Social Justice gospel! It's difficult for someone like me to find new ways of expressing what I've stated many times before.
