He bit into it and just before he can savor the taste, he realized what he had done. He looked at his wife and noticed something different. We're naked! They grabbed some leaves to cover themselves. Then, they heard rustling. Oh No! God is walking around in the Garden. HIDE! Oh Adam! Where are you? God called. Um, well you see I heard you coming and I was naked so I hid, Adam said. Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I told you NOT to eat from? God asked. Well, the woman YOU gave me made me do it, he replied. Woman, what did you do? God asked. The serpent made ... Read the Post
Living in 2011
As a new year comes in, we often make a long list of things we want to change -- lose weight, exercise more, spend less money, read the Bible more, be a better person --- and the lists keep going and going. Last week at Youth Alive, we watched a small snippet of a skit by the Skit Guys about the New Year and the last line was “This year stop listing and start living.” So over the last few days I’ve been thinking about the New Year. This morning I was studying my Sunday school lesson and it was about the consequences Rehoboam (Solomon’s son) faced because he didn’t make wise ... Read the Post
Brain Candy vs. Spiritual Meat
They say you are what you eat. My teeth bear witness to that. Yesterday I bit down on a tootsie roll sucker and a sharp pain radiated through my jaw. Thirty-some years’ worth of candy eating has taken a toll, resulting in numerous fillings and a few unpleasant and very expensive root canals.

They spike our blood sugar, resulting in an extra dose of insulin, only to leave us craving more. When our ... Read the Post
The Weaver
Do you feel Halloween sneaking up? I do! So, I’ve got a spider web story to share. One morning years ago, as my sons and I we were rushing off into our day, we noticed a HUGE spider web – all perfect and symmetrical – hanging right in front of their bedroom window. I suppose we noticed it because the light had captured the early morning dew glistening off of it. It was amazing! When we returned back home, early in the afternoon, the web was gone! Huh… Well, knowing how flimsy webs are, I thought of half a dozen reasons why the web had vanished. We felt a little sad, because it truly had ... Read the Post
My Emmaus Journey
Let’s face it, we all go on countless journeys and life takes us along many a winding turns and narrow streets. But, how many of us have taken a spiritual trip along the “Road to Emmaus” just like those two disciples did long time ago? I had the opportunity of travelling on mine a few months ago when I embarked on an Evangelisation Course at our church. It all began on a cool Saturday afternoon. However, the setting was nothing like the rocky road that those disciples travelled. Our journey took place on the church grounds. We students were grouped together and each one had to choose a ...
