Beyond the Mistake: Jonah and the Forgotten Crew

I love me some Jonah. He and I are tizzight like wicks and wax, honey and combs, Christmas and October. His is just one of those stories that especially resonates with me as a fellow wanderer. But this morning my eyes were opened to a new facet of Jonah’s story. The Tarshish-bound crew. I’ve always […]

Camping Fails Again: Non-Rapture, the Sequel

Several months ago an ancient crusty dude named Harold Camping made news the world over with his perilous end-of-the-world prediction for May 21.

Philippiansing at the Park

I figure I’ve done enough serious posts over the past week of opening this blog that I should break it up a bit and let y’all know that I do indeed possess a sense of humor and enjoy laughing and smiling and frolicking with butterflies amid the black-eyed susans.
