Why You Should Get Out of Debt

This world is backwards. Everyone loves to talk about using OPM (other people’s money) to purchase things or to gain wealth. I just don’t get it. Mathematically I understand the advantages of leveraging debt, but math cannot be used to understand every situation. As emotional creatures we were not designed to function as walking calculators [...]

Knowing God’s Voice Comes from a Relationship With Him

Jesus said, “The Sheep hear my voice and they know me.”  But how does someone who has never heard God audibly know that voice? With all the distractions, formulas, and Christian help books on the market teaching you how to pray, how to read your Bible, and “What worked for me!”, how does one know [...]

Turbo-Charge WordPress over Dial-Up

WordPress 2.6 introduced an exciting new feature, especially for those who blog over Dial-Up Modem.  They have added support for Google Gears to the platform, so that once you enable it, many of the admin panel pages will react much quicker than they did in previous versions of WordPress.

In All Things Christ

There’s a famous dilemma that’s called the Chicken and the Egg dilemma. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. It goes, “Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg?” For the Christian, the answer is simple—the chicken was created with the fouls on day 5. Inside this discussion, however, is a very important truth. When it comes [...]

Caption Contest 10 – Angry Husband

What is he so mad about?  That’s your challenge for this week.  What is his deal, anyway? Could it be that she forgot to make his food just the way he liked it?  Did she just get on his case for leaving the seat up again?  Did she just donate a whole bunch of his [...]

Purity Before Passion

The truth of the matter is, it’s hard to be pure.  Our sex saturated culture doesn’t help the situation either. Sex and flattery sell just about everything that is on the market today.  Sex education permeates our public schools, and the Internet gives access to all sorts of perversions.

The Other Woman

The Proverbs 31 woman is the paragon of virtue—the one that all young ladies are to aspire to and the one that all young men are to seek out.  She is the one that cares for her family, seeks her husbands best, provides for her children, and is honored by them. However, there is another [...]

Caption Contest 9 – Linus’ Friend

I know, it’s not October yet, but this picture is fun just the same, and it leaves us with some burning questions: What is this kid saying/doing?  Is he a true believer in the Great Pumpkin? Is he wearing blue because that’s the color of Linus’ blanket? Where are the vines for the pumpkins? Am [...]

Caption Contest 8 – They’re Driving Me Nuts!

I’m sure we’ve all had these days.  And I’m sure that we can all empathize with the woman.  So, why is this particular woman trying to pull her hair out? Better yet, why is she dressed to match the room, and why is it hard to tell whether she’s smiling or screaming? I know that [...]

Caption Contest 7 – Laughter

So, here’s a crowd of people, going to see (and record) something, and they’re all laughing! Why did they let that guy with the camera in, anyway?  Is he filming the photographer or the show? Why are a lot of these people wearing green and sitting in green chairs? Pick a person (like the guy [...]

Caption Contest 6 – Translation Needed

This caption contest is easy– just figure out what it is that is the caption for the book. No, I don’t have any clue what language that is, and that’s what makes it more fun. No, I don’t know what culture dresses their children up as books. Yes, I do think that this child colored [...]

The Greatest Sin of the American Culture

If I were to ask you what you thought the greatest sin the America culture is guilty of, what would you select?  You may pick one of the big problems Christians see with the culture—abortion, greed, homosexuality, etc.  But I believe that you’d be mistaken.  Don’t get me wrong—I believe these are a problem, but [...]

Caption Contest 4 – What are You Looking At?

There’s an interesting side story to today’s photo. I used to work for a guy that had a series of expressions that he used all the time. He could use the phrase "At the end of the day" ten times in a single meeting. One of the phrases that he said often to our all [...]

Caption Contest 3 – To Serve and Protect

For my birthday, my college buddy got me The A-Team – Season Two. Very rarely does anyone die– I mean, these people must be the worst shots in all of television! It’s a good thing that they flip a car almost every episode, or else it would have been dull. I’m hoping that this new [...]

Caption Contest 2 – Don’t Get Too Close!

Something caught young Molly’s attention. She was innocently minding her own business, walking by the pool when she saw something.  Was it the flowers, the serene pool, or something much more heinous? What music do we queue?  The peaceful spring music, or the Jaws theme? Only you know, and only you can keep her from [...]
