Poor Man’s Peloton?

It has been too long, Lord. Too long between those precious times of putting my heart on paper. When You have surprised me with Joy Unspeakable. When You have filled me with Hope Unquenchable.

Keeper of The Flame

Why should I be surprised, Lord? That I would have an amazing God-encounter at church today? Shouldn't that be the very place we have them all the time?  :) It was so like You, dear Abba... to use a child as Your messenger. A messenger who lived The Message without realizing it. She was the...

Pointing Upward… In Houston!

There's an expression in our culture: "Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach."  I can remember a university professor (or ten?) that resemble that remark. Not Craig McAndrews.

Safe Space Innovation? Or Revolution?

News reports in recent years have been filled with images of university students (and outside agitators) shouting down conservative speakers and ransacking campus buildings. Creating "safe spaces" where students don't have to hear ideas with which they take exception. All in the quest to silence what "the powers-that-be" consider offensive speech. Hmm... Which powers?
