JUST FOR FRIDAY FUN I’m going to toss out at you two of the more oddball verses in the Bible. I’m taking a vote. These verses sound more like Greek mythology then history, some Christians complain. I’m going to let you read them in five Bible …

WHAT YOU’RE ABOUT TO READ won the writer, Kathy LaMaster, a new $700 iPad Air 64GB. Well worth it. Not just because she said a bunch of nice things about me, which sure didn’t hurt my feelings. But because of what happened afterward. Read …

YOU DON’T WANT TO DISAPPOINT A KID. But I did. I gave a book to a boy who had a name from the Bible. I should have known better. Here’s the problem. The book was about the most important people and places in the Bible: Who’s Who & Where’s Where …

A FEW MONTHS AGO I submitted an illustrated book that the publisher intended to print in black and white. I was actually bummed out by that idea because my strength is in color, illustrated books. And black and white feels so 1950s. On the other …

LATE LAST WEEK I got the email. I can’t say much more about it than what you read in the title of this article. The news is too fresh and too sensitive. But this question comes from a young person who’s sis came out as gay: “What does the …

I’D RATHER NOT recognize some people in heaven, if you know what I mean. Souls that don’t belong there, if what I saw in them is any measure of worth. Souls that probably don’t think I belong there, if what they saw in me is any measure of worth. …

I COMPLETELY MISREAD THE QUESTION. I’m not sure I would have picked it if I hadn’t misread it. And I can’t believe I misread it so utterly completely. What in the world is happening with the brain when the question on the screen in front of you reads …

JUST FOR FUN, I’m going to pitch you some Bible verses that make me smile. Sometimes it’s the message. Sometimes the delivery. On occasion, it’s both – the double dip. In my spare time, I paraphrase the Bible. It’s a Bible-study technique I’m …

IT TOOK TWO LETTERS to do the job. I wrote a blog article last week about how people in my Bible study group surprised a fellow member of ours with letters of encouragement to help him through a difficult summer. He was a school teacher who got …

A LADY SHOWED UP on my Facebook news feed a few days ago complaining about people tearing into her for homeschooling her kids. “I am absolutely done,” she said, “with the ignorant opinions people have towards homeschooling.” My first …
