Your universe was never meant to be. — Malekith THOR: The Dark World expands Marvel’s cinematic universe, refining the cosmic scope we first glimpsed in Thor and revisited in The Avengers. We see more of the 9 Realms, meet the Collector and discover that the tesseract is one of the Infinity Stones. We also learn […]
What On Earth Do We Know About Heaven is a fun, challenging and provocative read. Well worth your time.
We’re made in God’s image, but we have bodies, while God is spirit. Are our bodies accidental? Are they temporary? Or are they good, vital and essential to our spirituality? How can we resist the cultural narrative that teaches us to hate our bodies? Crave is a series of messages I delivered at Mount Vernon […]
If you really forced me to pick my absolute, clear cut, most favorite band on the planet right now I would PROBABLY say Alter Bridge. I like them a lot. Their last album ABIII came out in 2010. Their latest and fourth album releases October 8th. It’s called Fortress. I can’t wait. I was reading […]

Sunday mornings before church are usually one of my most peaceful times of the week. I enjoy sitting down with a hot coffee and no workplace to go to for that one day. I often scan Facebook for a few minutes too. Yesterday I was perusing updates and pictures of friends and acquaintances when a […]
