I learned something new the other day. Something I never saw before. I’ve read the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John) several times over the years. And I’ve read about what’s called the “Passion Week” of Jesus several times. It’s the week that led up to the arrest, trial & crucifixion of Jesus. I’ve [...]

Welcome to First Zombie Church of the Undead
Posted: November 30, 2011 in UncategorizedTags: Christianity, church, Jesus, religion, undead, Zombie, Zombie Apocalypse
Seems like everywhere you turn, everyone is getting ready for the coming Zombie Apocalypse. Movies and TV shows abound with the brain craving, feet shuffleing, moaning half-deads. Heck, even the CDC has a Zombie Preparedness Webpage. . The Zombie profile is pretty basic: – Insatiable brain craving (I wonder if they prefer the frontal lobe [...]

Erik Weihenmayer did something I’ve only dreamed of doing. He summited Mt. Everest. Yeah I know, many people have. So why single him out? Well, for starters, over 200 people have died trying to climb Everest since 1990. The mountain is the tallest in the world at 29,028 feet, or 5 and a half miles [...]

Have you ever cooked food in a microwave? Unless you live in a developing nation, you probably have. Isn’t it great? I love the speed. You can go from raw to cooked in as little as 30 seconds. That’s really the point of a microwave. Speed. When I’m in a hurry I like to wrap [...]

This post of for the fellas. So ladies, feel free to read but, with all due respect, I’m talking to my male counterparts. Feel free to pass on to any dudes you know. Guys, I’ll get right to the point. When we as men live irresponsible lives, we kick ourselves in the manhood. Physically it’s [...]

So I was watching TV and I saw an ad for Eharmony, the online match making website. It was a nice commercial full of upbeat jazz music and featured couples who met on Eharmony and fell in love. Some got engaged and some got married. Each couple shared snippets of their stories. What their dating [...]

? = . = In part one (wow….my first sequel…) I talked about how sometimes we Christians don’t always react too well to people who express spiritual doubt. We tend to react instead of respond. We either give shallow, plastic, over used answers or we lash out with impatience and pointy fingers. It’s either: “I [...]

? = ! = I doubt it. Or at least I did once…or twice…or more. I had a bad day once (well…more than one, but I have just this one in mind). I had come off of a week full of people in need. Problems, pain, crisis. A lot of counseling and tears and prayers. [...]

I went out to dinner with my family a few weeks ago. We went to Bob Evans. Now, Bob Evans is one of those chain restaurants that attracts all sorts of people, but for sure it’s a hot spot for those in their golden years. When we sat down Helen, my hot wife, commented on [...]

Have you ever seen someone bungee jump from a high bridge. I’ve never done it, but I can imagine what it feels like. You’re at the edge, every nerve in your body firing away. You’re brain and your feet are protesting what you’re about to do. It’s risky, it’s dangerous, it’s crazy. But then you do it [...]
