Read MoreHeroes
I am always a late-comer to TV shows. 24, Lost, Seinfeld, and now Heroes. There are a few reasons for this. One, I don’t like watching shows from week to week. Two, I am not always home to watch the latest episode and I don’t want to miss one in the middle of the season (and I don’t have Tivo). Three, I don’t like the garbage that is usually mixed in for ratings...

Before the television there was radio. Before the radio there was the newspaper. Before that how were we told what to think? Probably the clergy. Recently I have had a large aversion to the TV news...

Read MoreThe Words of my Mouth
Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. I went to lunch with a couple of my best friends for some conversation and, of course, some food. I love it when I get to talk with guys who love the Lord. It is amazing the things that come out of our mouths when we get going. I also love leaving times like this feeling our oneness...
