I was cautioned by someone very close to me to be extremely careful about handing out the Million-Dollar bill Gospel tracts on this visit. Why? My Dad and his wife were paying for the trip—and he is not saved…
The boat to the [...]

Anna Hopewell’s grave in Enosburg Falls, Vermont has an epitaph that sounds like something from a Three Stooges movie:
Here lies the body of our Anna
Done to death by a banana
It wasn’t the fruit that laid her low
But the skin of the thing that made her go.

A liberty was lost… but now is found. The military leadership was blind, but now they have partial sight.
As ridiculous and unbelievable as it sounds Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt was court-martialed recently for praying “in Jesus’ name” while in uniform.

My daughters and I stumbled upon a mass of party-on-down ne’er-do-wells while visiting the L.A. Natural History Museum a few weeks back. It was tailgate party time for USC fans and they had taken up every bit of grass that separates The Coliseum from the museum. I was not aware of the cult of USC-dom.
Hundreds—no [...]

Last week I wrote this; my thoughts follow afterward:
I was invited to give the benediction at a Memorial Day service about 2 years ago by a man who strongly supports freedom of religion for all (as do I). In fact, Reverend Friend has his very own religion: God’s Eternal Universal Religion. He was in charge [...]

It ranks as one of the most creative rebukes by pagans that I have ever experienced. I was out-numbered, out-witted, and out-and-out embarrassed. They shut me up and got me out—quickly!
One evening I stumbled upon a large family having a pleasant barbeque on the beach. The little red dots on the center of [...]

My neighbor moved. Suddenly.
A very successful real estate developer with properties all over the city sold his mini-mansion across the street and has now moved to Redondo—right next to the beach.
With cell phone in ear, a drive by and a quick wave, that is, when he noticed me.

Most mornings when I awake I think, I have to do it again. That is, I have to go out of my comfort zone and share my faith with someone, most likely a stranger. I don’t always want to do it, in fact, sometimes I don’t want to do it all because it takes effort. [...]
