“Will the real creationists please stand up.”

I got an email from a friend of mine earlier today.  The text of it said “Will the real creationists please stand up.”  I felt it was fitting.
Earlier this week in Cleveland, a woman named Val Thomas, from whom the doctors had “removed all tubes” and given up to death, began speaking.  I don’t know [...]

Happy Birthday to Me

Today is my birthday.  Happy Birthday to Me!

Finished!

I’m proud to announce to you that I am finished with my first year of medical school.  I just finished up with my last mega-test as I call it, and I am so happy.  There is much thanks to the Lord in line.  Only in his strength was it even a possibility.  He has sustained. [...]

Give me Grace

I dont know if anyone else is familiar with Andy Gullahorn.  He’s a songwriter who lives in Nashville.  He’s one of the best songwriters I’ve ever been exposed to.  I’m his number 1 fan (#1).  I told him this when I met him.  ”I think you’re my only fan” he said through a grin. Here’s [...]

Give children big Truths that they can grow into, not small explanations that they will grow out of.
Here, here, Calvin Fowler.  I think thats a [...]

Flesh and Blood

As a blog writer I must admit that there are a few blogs I read, as well.  One of them is by Theologian/Cultural Commentator Al Mohler, who is also the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  I only bring this up because today he has commented on an op-ed piece in the USA Today [...]

Earthquake!

Wow!  Earthquake time.
This morning at roughly 5:35, I bolted upright in bed.  What was that?  I knew it was either an earthquake or that a Boeing 747 had crashed in my backyard.  Hoping for the latter, I glanced out the window to find…
Nothing.
The birds were going crazy.  But not a passenger jetliner to be seen. [...]
