Chasing Aslan in the Real World
It has been quite a while since I last posted, and my life has changed quite a bit since the last time you read any of my words on here. At its core my life is still the same (married father of two, Jesus follower, fanatical tea drinker, gentleman adventurer, storyteller) but recently things took... Continue Reading →
Today I'm reading in Deuteronomy chapter 1. The book of Deuteronomy is Moses' final address to the people of Israel that have come to the edge of the Promised Land for a second time. Moses recounts their History in this chapter and he explains that their forefathers had come to that same place,the edge of... Continue Reading →
Tonight I’d like talk to you about one of the most important practices that a Christian can engage in, that of Hospitality. Once upon a time, I was under the impression that Hospitality was one of the Spiritual Gifts and I didn’t have it. I didn’t like the idea of speaking to people I didn’t... Continue Reading →

I don't like it when the World proves my discernment correct, which has made me unhappy about being... Continue Reading →
Today is November 1st. Autumn has begun, the leaves have peaked in their vibrant and varied color, the weather is getting colder, and as happens every October the 31st either Linus Van Pelt has been visited by the Great Pumpkin…or not. The Holiday Season begins in earnest and for many here today this has been... Continue Reading →
My first reading of Beowulf occurred when I was a precocious teenager. I saw the ancient classic with its strange words and high language and figured I’d give it a go. I read the words, surely, but I didn’t really retain much other than that there was a monster named Grendel and a dragon horde... Continue Reading →
(No image for this post. I wanted a picture of moldy food, but apparently...not in high demand) With a clear understanding of the definition of Evil (see previous post) we see that the Flood was not in any way a rash or capricious decision on God’s part. It was an extreme measure to save a... Continue Reading →
