The King of Kings Bled

When I was a teenager I listened to a lot of rock music, and I still love the electric guitar and an awesome rock beat. When I first started listening to Christian music I had a hard time finding good Christian rock. It seemed to...

Invitation to Contribute to Idylls for the King

I’ve been asked to be a contributing author for a new Christian Literary Journal started by one of my fellow bloggers, Eden Ellis. Really, Eden doesn’t need anyone contributing to her blog because she is a terrific and thoughtful writer. But she wanted to create...

Prayer Habits Affect Prayer Quality

Psalm 139 for Psalm Sunday

I am traveling this weekend to an ACLEA (Association for Continuing Legal Education) conference in San Francisco. I’m looking forward to spending some time with colleagues who are in the same business as I am. It is comforting to know that there are other people who face...

The Final Destination

I’m sitting in the Portland airport waiting for my flight to San Francisco to board. In preparation for this trip there were many things I had to do: book the flight, reserve my hotel room, register for the conference I’m going to, schedule a shuttle...
