Born naked with a hole inside our souls. We cry for what we want. If we’re not content, we cry some more or whine. We don’t have tangible reasons for our distresses. We simply react to them. Hunger, pain, discomfort, fear, fatigue—we cry. Growth produces more demands and our goals amplify in order…

Wanda L. Dyson’s latest novel Judgment Day, published by WaterBrook Press and featured in this week’s CFBA Tour, presents the unlikely but likable couple of 6’ 6” “working-class stiff” Marcus Crisp and blue-blooded, real moneyed Alexandria Fisher-Hawthorne as a team of private investigators who along with their computer wizard partner Razz take on an investigation…

An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.

Football mania accelerates after each game. We fly high or sink beneath the radar each week. High fives or down lows. Nothing quite like the fans of football, the devotion to a team.

I know some of you grow weary of TV Talk here, but I’m excited about the new fall lineups. As I’ve said innumerable times, I love the medium of television even though a lot of it isn’t worth viewing. That’s the way it is. I pick and choose what inspires me. Number one: Chemistry.…

I took a rare step back in time to the late 1920s America in order to read a Julie Lessman novel published by Revell. A Hope Undaunted is vaguely reminiscent of the heart of Pride and Prejudice for me in a different culture but with lots of sisters, a couple of brothers, and the defiant…

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives…
