I recently did something stupid as a man. This is not all that unusual. I do stupid things all the time, (see the aforementioned "man"). What was unusual is that I came to a brilliant conclusion because of my stupidity: Thank God men are the only option, (let me explain).

An Ode to Bacon
Bacon, the morning's delight, It satisfies, my appetite. The wonderful foot product of pork, It doesn't even require a fork. It sizzles when it hits the pan, This morning candy of every man.

Christians … Continue reading Christians should be a bit nuts.
Courage
Based on Daniel 3:8-30 The silence was immense. The three men had never known how something as simple as silence could be so heavy.

Observations on Irony and What We Do About It
We live in an ironic world. It's like living in a Salvador Dali painting. Up is seen as down. Right is wrong. Good is viewed as evil. Philosophies resulting in death are trusted to provide life and freedom. What irony surrounds the unbeliever! They are enslaved to sin, yet told they are free.
