“Plan B” is “Plan A”

Turn On the Lights

As a high school history teacher, it was of utmost importance to me that my students understood what I was talking about. Sometimes, presenting a clear picture of certain aspects – like culture – from a time long ago and in a completely different part of the world wasn’t always an easy task. In one of my first upper-level Ancient History classes, the students were the smart, nerdy-type (nerdy-type people are awesome…just look at the success of The Big Bang Theory if you don’t believe me – everyone loves a good nerd). Star Wars &/or Star Trek were very high on their lists. Continue reading “Plan B” is “Plan A”

Secular Christians Don’t Drink Coke

Things are Not Always What They Seem

Our daughter, Dayton, was about 18 months old when she mistakenly drank out of a Coke can her father had used to spit chewing tobacco in. She was running through the living room, and as she passed the end table where the Coke can was, she stopped, picked it up, and took a drink. She was as fast as lightning! Poor little baby…what she thought was a refreshing drink turned out to be something truly horrible. It wasn’t at all what it seemed to be.

The Fullness of His Grace

When my son began to talk, he mispronounced many words and struggled to make certain sounds.  Not out of the ordinary for a baby, and it was sweetly reminiscent of my little sister, Mary, who spoke with a slight lisp and chewed her words when she spoke in a way that mesmerized all she met.  Mary’s little lisp was cute and captivating when she was a child, and she eventually grew out of it (for the most part – I can still hear it when she is really tired).

The Book

It’s been given to us

A book that’s passed on

Family to family

Father to Son

From the Son to the world

Though the world rejects

The Truth of this book

Is a Truth that reflects

The ALPHA-OMEGA

Beginning and end

Love and hate

Repentance of sin

Humanity argues

Vanity strong

Hating each other

Passionately wrong

Admit you’re a sinner

Strangely you’ll see

That Satan’s as clever

As clever can be

But God does not lie,

Deceive or pretend

This book has been given

To glorify Him.
