This week, we learned that the Queen of England passed away. I saw many people expressing great sadness over the loss of this woman and wishing the incoming King a successful reign. I thought this seemed odd being as we made a very conscious effort to separate ourselves from England and the monarchy back in…
One thing I always hated about sitting in church on Sunday was that there would inevitably be references made to upcoming sporting events or politics. Things that really have no place in the church sermon, but that seem to be the only way the pastor knows how to connect with his congregants. It always bothered…
Was it the enticement of free donuts, free beer, gift cards, work incentives, or maybe even the threat of losing one's job?

I hate name-droppers. Perhaps hate is too strong a word, but I generally can’t stand to hear someone talking about who they know and how wonderful that person is and how important it is to know them. This was part of what had initially turned me off about Christians. All of this Jesus business was…
