why?

Why does it take 4 hours to see a doctor at an emergency room on a Thursday night when there’s only 12 people in the waiting room?
Why does the nurse, the doctor, the sign in person, and three or four other hospital workers have to ask you the same 37 questions about latex allergies and [...]

what is connection?

We have got some great volunteers at LifePointe church. And, we’ve got a bunch of them! Half of our church are active volunteers, and that’s nothing to sneeze at when it comes to church statistics.
But, I often worry about connection. And by connection, I mean a deep-rooted attachment to one’s surroundings and a committment level [...]

Is there a God?

Ahhhh…that is the question. The one question that secular humanists have been asking themselves for centuries.
You know, I think to help answer this question, i’m going to put on my “atheist hat.”
If God doesn’t exist, and man is truly all by himself on this big, blue marble, and everything we’ve accomplished up til now can [...]

Mother’s Day, Speed Racer, and the such…

As we prepare for our annual Mother’s Day service at LifePointe Church, I am becoming very nostalgic. Not prohibition-do-the-lindy-buy-bonds nostalgic…just recalling-the-great-things-about-my-mom nostalgic.
I have to ask myself “would I do the things for her she did for me?”
The answer: It’s hard to say.
Would I give up the last slice of pie? Probably not…but in hindsight, I [...]

Thunder Over Louisville Confession

Over the past week, I have been asked one question, over and over and over again.

“Did you like Thunder?”

For those who don’t live in our beautiful city, Thunder Over Louisville is a massive fireworks display that takes place annually. It is allegedly the largest firworks display in the nation. Billions of people wedge themselves downtown [...]

What? Another Contest?

I’m in another one of my writing competitions right now, and I need people to read and rate the stories below. They’re both really short, and I think really good!Help out a brother and give these a read! Thanks!

Goonies Schmoonies!

My last post was about my prowess as a movie watcher.

I have recently been reminded, however, that my movie watching record cannot be recorded until I have viewed what some are calling the “must see” movie of the eighties.

The Goonies.
That’s right…I have never seen the Goonies. Me and a monk on some Tibetian mountain top [...]

Who’s Your Movie Watchin’ Daddy?

The year was 1981. The hostages in Iran were freed as Ronald reagan took the oath. Pope John Paul II was wounded by a gunman. A little network called MTV graced our sets for the first time, and Pacman mania was at full speed. A horse named Pleasant Colony won a little race called the [...]

Trademark, Shrademark!

A week ago, Lifepointe Church held it’s second annual “Big Game” Party.
What the heck is a “Big Game” Party?
If we lived in Europe, it might be the World Cup (Soccer).
If we lived in a retirement home, it might be the Shuffleboard National Championship.
If we lived in France, it might be the National Surrender Championship (Yikes…did [...]
