This is a very simple post. Pray for Haiti. The news reports are devastating and the human toll is horrendous. O Lord our God have mercy on those in Haiti. Help them, O Lord, and minister to them by your grace.
Hebrew writing older than thought – Haaretz
You mean that the Israelis knew how to write Hebrew around the time that the Old Testament said they knew how to write? Yes, as shocking as it may seem, it appears that the Old Testament was telling the truth when it says that King David and the rest of the crew afterward knew how […]
On ch’uspa and belonging
How do you know when you belong? There are many answers, but I know exactly when I knew that I belonged in the town of Choco, and it had to do with a ch’uspa, a bag, similar to the one that you see pictured with this post. [For those of you who do not know […]
Shoes of peace

What does it mean to think Christianly? — part 01

G.K. Chesterton on fairy tales
The unexpected discussion on vampire tales has now morphed into a discussion on publishing issues in the Christian world, as you can see from some of the comments on my previous posts.
