I can’t tell you where I was or who was there or when it happened. I don’t want to add to this guy’s humiliation, so I am keeping this vague and generic. I can simply tell you that, some time ago, I found myself in the same vicinity as another married couple. I certainly can’t read their … Continue reading Does your husband have to earn your respect?

The Katey Papers – 6
Katey, you may think we sip the sweet milk of God's Word for ages, before we grow up enough for the next step. But once we are weaned, it is time to go beyond, to spend time in studies with the Father as our teacher. His school is firm and strict. Because He loves us. … Continue reading The Katey Papers – 6

About Dating, part 4
Q: What Does Dating Have to Do With Jesus? A: Everything. Absolutely everything. Dating is an extremely spiritual thing, and we don’t get that.

Don’t have to get that, just remember it for … Continue reading About Dating, part 4
Sun, Moon, or Meteor?

Yet the moon is the constant reassurance we have that the sun still shines, and the meteors are not much -- fragments, showy, transient … Continue reading Sun, Moon, or Meteor?

When a Man Gives Birth
It happens. Twice in history it has happened. Sort of.

Okay, we know the Bible, in the book … Continue reading When a Man Gives Birth
He DID Eat. Part 2
Okay, so Adam was there and he was watching. And he knew; he’d heard the voice of God, really and truly, telling him exactly what was the score with that one tree in the middle of the garden. He listened while the enemy fiddled around with Eve’s brain. He watched her tremblingly take the fruit … Continue reading He DID Eat. Part 2
Alone, alone, all, all alone.
It was not good that man should be alone. God said it. Adam had God for conversation (a heretical concept to some of us) and he had all the animals, which were tame at the time, for entertainment. Imagine—a guy on the loose for a few days with a dog to fetch for him, a … Continue reading Alone, alone, all, all alone.
