Finally Facing Up
August 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Featured Articles
I wrote a short post on repentance to point to an unusual circumstance: Church leadership actually facing up to collective responsibility in failure of our moral underpinnings. In a way that is both honest and difficult. I found it via Chuck Pierce’s site. A confession along the lines of Daniel’s confession for collective sin, Dutch [...]

This one is tough. So many things are beautiful, and there is such a breadth to what any one person might esteem beautiful. The choice could be a child, a flower, a sunset, a venue. Which to choose? Here is what I finally determined upon:

A Few Lessons In Learning to use a New Gadget:
Most of the time I haunt my usual neighborhoods when going about my daily life. I don’t need a GPS for that, but sometimes I get the lightbulb moment to go somewhere new, and found I was thinking “now why don’t I have my brand spankin’ [...]
