Devotional October 28: The Horror…The Horror…
Growing up, I was always in denial about horror movies. I loved to hate them! But then when I got older and I got into writing and acting I discovered something big, horror movies are F-U-N! You see, no matter how scary they are on the screen, everyone behind the
Devotional September 7: Cosmik Debris and Wasting Time
Several weeks ago, I went to see Dweezil Zappa at his Zappa Plays Zappa show. I actually had never heard any of Frank Zappa’s music before. And there were some songs I liked but most of them were just, “okay”. Certainly Dweezil is a very very talented guitar player. Though
Devotional September 22nd: See Me, Feel Me. Touch Me, Heal Me.
You may recognize the line above from the film, Tommy by the Who. You may also assume that this is another attempt to put a movie or something into my devotional/blog. However, I have never seen the movie, Tommy. I am familiar with the quasi-religious theme of it, though. This
Devotional 9/15: Reflections on an American Rebel, Kim Davis
I realized that the media has buried the story (now that she was released from jail) but Kim Davis’ story was really significant to me. You are familiar with the story, right? If not, you can read all about it here. I know it was significant for a lot of
Devotional Sept. 9th: I am Mad as Hell and I Won’t Take it Anymore!
(Alternate Title: WHERE THE %$!%#@ ARE MY KEYS?????) We are typing along and something happens and we lose a lot of work. We are driving along and realize that we forgot something back at home. We do not read an email closely enough about a cancellation, a postponement, something like
Devotional 8/12: Enuff Z’ Nuff
When people get to college they act very strangely. This is especially true at Christian colleges. I know of a guy who, when he got to college, became an athlete. I think he was a moderate one before college but when he got there he just went crazy. He was
Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Gay, Err…Way
I have been asked repeatedly to make my blog more controversial by addressing gay marriage and other wonderful topics and giving my opinion about them. Though I intend to address gay marriage and homosexuality in general in THIS blog, I do not intend to give my personal opinion about them
Devotional 5/27: Despised and Rejected by Women
Sometimes in my more nostalgic moments, my mind drifts to my old college days and how I often wondered what the future would be like. The Book of Isaiah is known for predicting the future too, especially the coming of Christ. I often think about the descriptions of Jesus in
Devotional May 20th: I Love the Smell of Napalm in the Morning
The Pew report (http://www.pewforum.org/2015/05/12/chapter-1-the-changing-religious-composition-of-the-u-s/) released earlier this year did not have the reaction I thought it would. Though there were mentions of it on the news and radio, nothing was said of it at my church on Sunday and I did not see any people running the streets holding “The End
Devotional May 13th: Its Better to Have a Cute A** Than to Be One
This past weekend I went to Wheaton Academy in West Chicago to see Ballet 5:8 Present the Story of Daniel in Belteshazzar: A Perilous Tale (http://www.ballet58.org/performances/belteshazzar-a-perilous-tale-chicago-west-suburbs/2015). It was a ballet of the story of Daniel with an all-female cast. It was really good and I recommend seeing it if you
