Do You Have a Caged-Up Gorilla in Your Trunk?
I’ve been a fan of the rock band King’s X for many years and am currently reading King’s X: The Oral History, a book by Greg Prato that chronicles the history of the band entirely through quotes from the band, those who have worked with the band, music journalists, and other musicians. They have a … Continue reading “Do You Have a Caged-Up Gorilla in Your Trunk?”

The Transfiguration: A Preview of Glory and Delight
Last week I posted about Psalm 36:8, where David thanks God that His people may “drink from the river of your delights.” Since the word for “delights” is the plural of Eden, these occasional sips God provides us point to a past and future paradise. These delights strengthen our hope of heaven and strengthen us … Continue reading “The Transfiguration: A Preview of Glory and Delight”
Social Media is Full of Absurdities
Social media is a great place to share short bursts of pontification, whether in memes, quips, quotes, or what have you. Sometimes a little more research may do some good, though. Several times recently I’ve seen the quote below shared by people protesting what they see as people in power playing loose with Covid data … Continue reading “Social Media is Full of Absurdities”
The Law of the Medes and Persians Has Been Revoked
During the Old Testament book of Daniel, God’s people were in exile in Babylon, and a group of Babylonian officials really wanted to make a point. They wanted to do this so badly, that it’s recorded several times in just a few verses of the book of Daniel, chapter 6: Verse 8: “Now, O king, … Continue reading “The Law of the Medes and Persians Has Been Revoked”
Let God Speak to Your Inner Wilderness
I’ve written recently about John the Baptist[1], who announced the coming of Jesus, baptized Him, and led the way for His ministry to begin. This John was identified with “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight’”[2] prophesied by Isaiah. Today I want to describe … Continue reading “Let God Speak to Your Inner Wilderness”
Coming Soon to a Theater Near You
Have you ever watched a movie that was much worse than what the trailer for it led you to expect? Were scenes taken out of context, giving you the wrong impression? Was every good scene from the movie already in the trailer, leaving you disappointed? Every now and then, God gives us a preview of … Continue reading “Coming Soon to a Theater Near You”
A Quint of Quotes #2

These are also related to last weeks. Enjoy! “In theory there’s no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.” – Yogi … Continue reading “A Quint of Quotes #2”
This Mother’s Day, Celebrate the Caregivers
I was recently invited to a workshop on “Caregiver Bias,” which was explained as a problem in our society that people who take care of children, older or sick relatives, or others in need don’t do as well in their careers. In addition, they said, since Caregiving is more often done by women than by … Continue reading “This Mother’s Day, Celebrate the Caregivers”
Unlikely Heroes
Originally posted on Mitch Teemley:
Not all heroes wear uniforms. Some simply wear their hearts on their sleeves. They may do nothing more than smile when they see someone in need of a smile. But make no mistake — in those moments, they are heroes. And as long as we have both kinds of heroes,…
