Here is the most recent text exchange between BFW and I: Yesterday, 5:45 PM Bronco: Even though you don’t officially hold the rising adult position anymore :-)… I still have you on my calendar for tomorrow. I cannot do lunch, but if you want to meet up for breakfast, Sammies at Common Market, I’m game. […]
I recommend you read THIS BOOK. Below you will find an assemblage of quotations from the book to get you excited. “We underestimate God and we overestimate evil. We don’t see what God is doing and conclude that he is doing nothing. We see everything that evil is doing and think it is in control […]
Once upon a time there was a couple who couldn’t have kids. The wife cajoled her husband into having intimate relations with her servant (for she thought, “It may be that I shall obtain children by her.”). The husband yielded to his wife’s execrable naggings. The servant conceived a child, and for the first time […]
Here are the primary takeaways from my morning meeting with The Boss today… Elders must hold firm to sound doctrine and the trustworthy Word as taught and emphasized by Jesus of Nazareth.

There’s a kid over there with a Lunchable, maybe we can ask him to share with everyone! It’ll be an epic feast!” – Andrew (said as a joke, and probably with some irritable sarcasm). “Bingo! […]
A friend of mine recently reminded me of a paragraph from a past blog post. The paragraph reads: Jesus hates it when we attempt to have Him on our terms. Jesus will not tolerate our agenda to reduce Him to anything less than our Maker and Master. Jesus withdraws because we want to neuter and […]
Driving the kids to school on Wednesday, we were listening to “Hometown” by twenty one pilots. Having recently read Amos and Ezekiel the following lyrics were particularly engrossing: Put away, put awayAll the gods your father served todayPut away, put awayYour traditions, believe me when I sayWe don’t know, we don’t knowHow to put back […]
