Lessons from the Lin thing

On February 17, 2012 By

(My apologies to those who are not familiar or interested in sports or basketball.  This post contains many obscure references to basketball and the New York Knicks.  If you make it through though, I promise there is a meaningful point to it all) There is not an angle that has not been covered in the [...]

Thirsty

On February 2, 2012 By

There is nothing worse than to have a deep, indescribable, undeniable, and unquenchable thirst.

Underoos.  Ok I admit it.  I wanted them.  If you are old enough to remember 8 track tapes, I bet anything that you did too.  Unfortunately my mom never even gave Hanes or the more conventional Fruit of the Looms a consideration let alone those super duper super cool underpants.  Me and my bro grew [...]

Haiti was an eye opening experience for us.  So much devestation, so much poverty, so many children.  Not a hint of reconstruction, no sign of a brighter future.  It has been almost 2 years since the earthquake and yet there is very little progress (if any) in terms of rebuilding.  Imagine one day you are [...]

Titanic and the Truth

On September 8, 2011 By

So I was reading DA Carson’s Scandalous: The Cross and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ this morning and just felt compelled to share portions of my reading: “Did you see the film Titanic that screened about a dozen years ago?  The great ship is full of the richest people in the world, and, according to [...]
