  I was talking with some friends the other day about nutrition, and the correlation between physical and spiritual health. Somehow the topic turned to how much I always enjoyed gardening, probably because of my Italian heritage DNA! As a kid, I’d spend hours on spring and summer weekends working in our rather large vegetable garden which…

OK…I saw an article tucked away in the back pages of a newspaper recently and decided to make it the focus of this week’s blog.  Liberty, MO, a suburb of Kansas City, held a community concert series recently and invited a certain group to perform. That group, Sidewalk Prophets, is a band whose members are…

  “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” The golden rule. Everyone can quote it. Unfortunately, this long revered maxim of civility seems to have fallen on deaf ears of late. Looking out for the best interest of the “others” has suffered as a result of money-making schemes by brand name…

  Get ready. We’re coming to that time of the year when political correctness is heavy in the air. That’s right…I’m talking about “the holidays.” Specifically, the Christmas season.

In nature, no two snowflakes are the same. Not even identical twins are identical. So, Jesus must like diversity, too, right? Well, that depends. The Biblical notion of…

    I have been fascinated by the growth and popularity of competitive poker matches on television. It has morphed from back room, smoke-filled, cheesy looking environs populated by questionable characters into luxurious casino-type surroundings attracting major movie stars dressed to the nines airing on major cable networks.   With all the upgrades in window…

In our increasingly secular society, the person of Jesus evokes a variety of reactions, and after two millennia, remains a controversial figure. He’s admired and ridiculed; revered and rejected; embraced and dismissed. However you may feel about Jesus…whether as God or as a great teacher or as a deranged individual–he still is the central figure…
