Years ago I wrote a post about why I read Christian fiction exclusively. I covered the usual things like the overuse of cuss words and explicit sexual scenes that are commonly found in general market literature, but my reasons still include the overall sense of hopelessness and temporary solutions for life's…

  See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.   Hebrews 3:12-13 (NIV)

                                     Five favorite Seahawks:   Marshawn Lynch  Russell Wilson  Richard Sherman  Cam Chancellor  Golden Tate    Thank you, Lord, for the sport of football and the giftings you distribute to athletes. May they all honor you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.  

       Well, I haven't gone that far, but I am over at Novel Rocket today with a sort of controversial topic. Would love for you to add your thoughts/opinions. See you there.   Father, you know the gratitude I feel for all of those who show me kindness and actually care about what I…
