Making the Case for Being Trans

While there may be much to be said that is negative about social media, there are also many positive posts.  On Facebook Friday we share something each week that catches our attention.  It may be funny.

Today’s post is from the page of  F. LaGard Smith.  He offers an interesting and unexpected twist on being Trans.  Don’t give up on the article. Read it to the end. Continue reading →

The Journey Is Too Short

Last week my facebook friend, Chris Murray, wife of Charles Murray, who preaches at the Skyview Church in Pinellas Park, posted a piece that caught my attention.

She talked about the problem of grumpy people who gripe about anybody and everything.

Do You Talk To Other Drivers?

My friend, fellow Hoosier, and preaching colleague, Max Dawson, is a “car guy” So, he publishes a Monday Column headed “Pontiacs, Points, and Proverbs.” It’s a very clever “weekly blog about cars, morality, and spiritual truth.”

In an April post on facebook, he asked the question, “Do you talk to other drivers?” I do. Much to my wife’s dismay. So does Max. You’ll enjoy the story he tells and appreciate the spiritual application. Continue reading →

Happiness. Anger. And Social Media.

Some time ago, Doy Moyer, preacher and professor at Florida College, posted a piece about happiness as it relates to some of the ranting we witness on social media.

“There is a universal desire for happiness, but since happiness is so elusive, people have instead embraced anger and have given in to the hopelessness and bitterness that come with it.” Continue reading →

Our God Is An Awesome God

“One of my pet peeves is today’s casual use of the word ‘awesome.’ Many things are called awesome that are not at all awesome but very ordinary,” posted my facebook friend Michael D. Greene.  “Awesome should be reserved for things that truly inspire or move us to awe.”

I share in Michael’s feelings about the word “Awesome.”  To illustrates what is truly awe inspiring Michael shared a piece from his friend John Gott, who works in the field of science, that ought to inspire us to awe as it deals with the awesome power of the God we serve. Continue reading →
