Man’s Wickedness, God’s Mercy
“An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:There is no fear of God before his eyes,For he flatters himself in his own eyes,When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit’He has ceased to be wise and to do good.He devises wickedness on…

Oswald Chambers and Altar Calls, Yea or Nay
I have read about half of a book about Oswald Chambers (1874-1917). Most people know of him because of the book “My Utmost for His Highest,” a devotional put together by his wife after his death at 43. The book I am reading is called “Abandoned to God” by David McCasland. Chambers’ parents were both…

Friday the 13th Eve Web Log Entry
I got an appointment at 8:00 in the morning at the courthouse to apply for a Kansas title for my car, and, hopefully, get it registered. I am praying that I get there early enough to get a good parking place. I am glad the parking meters still accept quarters. I have been stressed all…

Review of a Review of ‘Against the Machine’ by Paul Kingsnorth
I was enjoying Paul Kingsnorth’s “Against the Machine: On the Unmaking of Humanity” until I came across a review by “The Gospel Coalition” which I found pedantic and overly critical. It will have no effect on whether I continue reading the book or not. Perhaps I should not say anything about the book or the…

I write every day because I write every day. I have…

Alert! If You Total Your Car
If you total your car, be sure and tell K-Tag to de-activate that vehicle from their system. Or else remove your K-tag sticker. Here’s why. Today I got an email from K-Tag telling me they had processed my bill for $5.06. I called and asked them how was that possible since my car was in…

Worried About Your Memory? Give Yourself a Break
Have you been thinking about how much trouble you have remembering certain things, and more so as you age? I have, and more and more, especially with names. I feel like I just have been better at remembering names when I was teaching decades ago or I could not have taught classes full of kids,…

The Brilliance of Robert Duvall
I was sorry to hear of the passing of Robert Duvall today at 95. I had not followed his career. I did not see him in the Godfather or True Grit. I didn’t know who he was in To Kill a Mockingbird. I don’t remember that much about Boo Radley, but I’d like to see…
