We are fed by feeding

I feel ashamed. I focus too much attention on feeding the poor, better ways to make fuel, college savings, and even personal growth. I teach my kids to treat everyone fairly, help the needy, and to be thankful for blessings. Thanks to these candidates for Parent of the Year for setting me straight. In case…

I have not written much lately (busy) but I hope to catch up on all of that soon. I have an interesting project or two on the horizon. First, however, I am off to Augusta for a few days to watch some golf with friends. More when I get back.

You don’t have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body. – C. S. Lewis C. S. Lewis was a great thinker, a reformed atheist, and one of Christianity’s most popular writers. His quote about the soul is one of my favorites because it flips the common view around. We often look at…

Recently, I signed the Celebrate Recovery ministry at my church up with IGive.com. Already, in the course of our online…

Miller’s personal journey is a soul-searching attempt to reconcile traditional Christian belief within an increasingly secular world. You…
