How is your night vision?

October 24, 2009

Physically speaking, especially in law enforcement, night vision is a good thing. The thing about night vision is the longer you stay in the dark, the better it seems to get. You begin to adjust and one can even get to the point where the light is uncomfortable.

You know, the same thing happens spiritually. If [...]

“Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World”

October 11, 2009

“Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World” is David Jeremiah’s follow-up to “What in the World is Going On?” It is not a sequel per se, and I must admit I did not read “What in the World is Going On?” although I did purchase it.

Thank God for Sheepdogs

September 11, 2009

On this anniversary of 9/11, I’d like to share a few thoughts from a man by the name of Dave Grossman.

Before we go there, let me say I know we are all under God’s care and He is Sovereign over all. However, I also understand we live in a fallen world and I believe in [...]

“Fearless” by Max Lucado

September 8, 2009

Max Lucado’s conversational style in “Fearless” makes this excellent book seem more like counsel from an old friend. Everyone deals with fear on some level at some point, and Lucado guides us into how to bring those fears out into the light where they shrivel and die. Whether it is a fear of the unknown, [...]
