Devotional 8/9: Linkin Park Has Fallen and Can’t Get Up
There have been a lot of celebrity suicides lately. There was Chris Cornell in May and then there was Chester Bennington of Linkin Park even more recently. There was Robin Williams a couple years ago. I was a real fan of Linkin Park’s songs from the Transformers series. I was
Devotional August 2nd: Children of a Lesser God
I was thinking about my time at Gallaudet University this past week. I spent the Fall of 1994 and the Spring of 1995 at Gallaudet University, the university for the Deaf (this is a capital “D”, because it is referring to the Deaf culture) in Washington D.C. It was an
Devotional 7/12: Getting Over God?
Several weeks ago, I was at a doctor’s office. While I was waiting for the doctor to show up, I looked at his bookshelf. Among the books was a book entitled Getting Over God (I cannot remember the author). Upon initially seeing the book. I naturally got defensive, as faith

Devotional 5/3: Fear the Walking Dead
Soon will be out the third season of Fear the Walking Dead, a prequel of sorts to the most popular cable show ever, The Walking Dead. It is not really a prequel as it has all new characters and it takes place in Los Angeles and Mexico, not on the
Devotional April 7: Opposite George Day
I was looking the other day at my childhood friend Mick’s mother, Sherry, on Facebook. She was giving a hug to my other friend Bob. Bob and Mick and I and others used to hang out. It was funny because Bob now has a white beard and a potbelly. He
Devotional March 1st: Be My Neighbor, Please, Please, Please!
Now I realize that the Bible has already addressed the subject of ‘who is my neighbor?’ I think that everyone knows the parable of the Good Samaritan that the Lord shared in Luke 10:25-37. However for me, it is not been an easy question. I remember in college where we
Devotional 2/22: Doomsday Preppers
I know that people have been saying this for at least 2,016 years but, I have heard a lot of people on TV saying that we are in the last of the last days. I do not know if it is true or not, but I am pretty sure that
