Just one person's opinion. Laugh at me: it's okay. Sometimes. 🙂   Lord, you make us all. Thank you for loving us. In the…

  •   I caution you about this post. In a way it's a "rant". The reason for this is simple. Not meant to be hurtful or offensive. Simply put, it alarms me that people think this nation can withdraw inside itself and survive this world. Isolationists – or "Non-Interventionists" as some prefer to define and qualify…

  •   Goals present a conundrum for me. If they're too high, failure is almost guaranteed. If they're too low, they present no challenge and perhaps no motivation because of their implied insignificance. Those who need goals to formulate motivation are often highly organized types, structured people, and/or those who enjoy the thought of school or…

  •                                                           Mike Dellosso writes what some of us call "Christian Horror". Not a popular term with CBA publishers, but those of us who read (and/or write) Christian fiction recognize exactly what this term means when it applies to Mike's writing. And it's a good thing.

  •   Personally:   I lost my brother. Heaven gained a wonderful man. Breath of Life was released. My family loves one another and remains intact and strong. Thank you, Jesus, for it all.   Publicly:   Into the Fire persists, remains. Breath of Life receives some attention. Thank you, Jesus, for it all.   Politically:…

  •                                                                                    Eric Yoshida is the protagonist you love to hate. And yet Gina Holmes manages to keep just enough appeal for the open-minded and fair reader to hold out hope for him. That appeal is borne out of a character that rings so true, it's impossible (for me anyway) not to care about…

  •                                 If you enjoyed the first version of Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as Holmes and Dr. Watson, I cannot imagine you not liking this second episode even better. Their chemistry is perfect and the casting in this movie is filled with just right characters.   Getting used…

  •   Let's face it: ratings for films are screwed up. An idea gone awry. For those who have translated what the labels really mean when considering which film to attend, it's fairly easy to know what to expect and how many of each potentially offensive category will be present. And let me ask you this:…
