I was in California for some time, learning piano from a friend and vacationing around the area. During this time, I was reminded that I should be full of gratitude and hope. Did you know that grace and gratitude have the same greek root? I received a call on my cell phone from Liberty Law… Read More »
This last Friday, I went to Philadelphia to spend some time with Matt and Andy. We had a great time talking, watching baseball, and playing basketball. At the Phillies game, this drunk guy started the wave. It went arround the stadium of 40,000 people at least 7 times. People are easily amused. Saturday morning, we… Read More »
Today, there were several bombings in London, killing at least 37. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attacks. Proverbs 8:36 says that “all who hate me (God) love death.” George Bush is correct in pointing out the evil in the heart of the terrorist. The terrorists do not know God, at least, not as they… Read More »
My dad had a business trip to do, so my mom and I followed him to Lancaster. We saw a Christian play: Ruth. The play was decent; pretty dramatic… although there was some creative license used. For example, they made Ruth come from a Moabite temple where she served. Despite this, the play helped to… Read More »
On Friday, I finished up my first “jury duty” requirements. It was neat to see how the court system worked and serve Nassau County. The case involved a guy who forged documents to get $$ from the 9/11 victims fund. This weekend, I was in Washington DC, attending a conference on the media. The conference… Read More »

The topic is thoroughly practical. Message me somehow if you’d like a copy. I’m making a slide show of the Reformation… Read More »
I’ve been reading Leland Ryken’s book, Work and Leisure. In it, he defends the Puritans. Way to go! It’s pretty interesting if you get into it. Here’s a clip: The Reformers began by rejecting the medieval division of work into sacred and secular. To this they added the doctrine of vocation or calling, by which… Read More »
I was mowing the lawn and trimming the bushes, doing my job to fulfill the dominion mandate of Genesis… Then I cut the power cord with the electric trimmer. I guess I’ll have to finish up the bushes another day. But I can go on and work on cleaning my room, doing my Reformation Report,… Read More »
I’m back! Europe was wonderful. I am grateful to God for the chance to go. The Swiss Alps declare the glory of God. What is man that he is mindful of us? Nothing in all creation can separate us from his love. We have so much to praise God for. He has been faithful to… Read More »
“Good luck” says a friend as a depart to my final. “Good luck” says another a few moments later. And another…and another. By now, I should be full of good luck. No. It is not luck that got me through my finals. It is my sovereign God. How we speak shows what we believe in… Read More »
