SharperIron Posting
“Once I Was Blind: The Perspicuity of Scripture” was posted this morning over at SharperIron.

My friend and coworker, Josh Larsen, had his bike stolen from his garage last night.

That is my question. Why does God allow bizarre things into our lives? This past Sunday morning, as I was about to begin my early morning paper route, I got a flat tire. Hey, no problem! I just got out the spare, jacked up the car, and changed tires. Took a little extra time but [...]

Resolve

Discipline, Disgust, and Delight
Tomorrow I finish the 7th day of the 1st phase of the South Beach Diet. I’ve never dieted in my life, and I can tell you it’s no picnic! I feel as though all I do now is chop and cook green vegetables! Now, don’t get me wrong, I love vegetables…or at least I used [...]
