Hey y’all-
I love the book Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper. It is an awesome read and a chance to really dig deeper and think through some big thoughts for your life. And your service to God. In fact, I blogged about it quite a bit a year or so ago…
I found a sample [...]

Hey y’all-
Merry Christmas from Taiwan. Yesterday, I posted my Christmas list. Why? Well, to see if people would buy me stuff. Or, to show the super-expensive stuff I can tend to want. Or, just for fun. (Or, all three….) Anyway, the reality is Christmas is not about gifts to me. It is not about getting [...]

Hey y’all-
This week an envelope arrived from some kids at Bedford Baptist Church in Bedford, Kentucky. It was jam-packed full of holiday cheer with about 15 handmade Christmas cards that apparently were constructed all at the same time. (Same paper, same general theme, but all still very cool.) So, I thought I might share a [...]

Hey y’all-
Got a heavy topic today. Why? A friend…..
She got in touch with me and said she was trying to help counsel some others who were struggling through suicide in their close circle. She wanted some guidance in leading them to God’s Word to see what He says. Not what I say, but what God [...]

Hey y’all-
It’s Thanksgiving in the United States, so I thought I would post a few things I am thankful for. Hope you can relate…
1. I am thankful for Jesus. (This is an obvious one.) He is my Lord, my Savior, my Friend, my Brother, my Redeemer, my Intercessor, and He wants to be all of [...]

Hey y’all-
I thought I would post a quick note on Thanksgiving. Our friends in Taiwan hear about Thanksgiving, but they don’t really understand what we are celebrating. Also, people in the United States hear of Thanksgiving and do not really understand what we are celebrating. Let me tell you a bit about it…
Thanksgiving came about [...]

Hey y’all-
We went to see the movie 2012 last night. It’s pretty good. Lots of crazy action that could never happen, but it’s a movie. What do you expect?
The movie has brought up a lot of folks asking serious questions. Will the world end? How? When? Can I survive it?
Also, the movie has some biblical [...]

Hey y’all-
I posted about the movie 2012 yesterday. We are going to see the movie this afternoon in Taipei with some friends of ours from a local college. So, since we are going to see such a big movie with a big theme, I thought I would ask some of the “big” questions.
Here they are: [...]

Hey y’all-
This weekend I am going to see the movie 2012 with some friends here in Taipei. This should be fun. I like big blockbuster movies and this one looks like it will have some cool special effects. But, there is a greater reason for going to see this movie…..
2012 claims to be about the [...]
