The rain is cold and very wet. It is also much needed. And, perhaps the cold and wet day has also dampened other things. Hopefully I can be vague enough to not reveal identities and yet specific enough to speak to the issue. God himself knows that there are certainly enough examples, so protecting i...

We’ve been through the schedule for the upcoming South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival, a few times. In fact between our own scouring of the schedule and the countless emails from publicists, producers and directors — which we like because they make us think that people like us —...

Just like the color of Micheal Jackson’s skin … American Idol is slowly fading. Tonight was “supposedly” Michael Jackson night … but after hearing Idol’s “Baker’s Dozen” perform tonight, I only heard a few songs that was remotely similar to a Mic...

It's time for Idol to really start now. Normally, I already have a favorite but not this year. Most of the kids we've only seen once. Hard to become a fan with only 1 1/2 minutes of singing.

Tonight, the top 13 American Idol contestants take part in the first of this year’s soul-destroying live finals. So, you know, hooray for that. The American Idol finalists are gently being eased into the competition, because tonight is Michael Jackson night and therefore all they need to do to...

" There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1 I'm back. Staying offline was hard at first, but retreating sure was good. I hunkered down on my book eagerly with clearer vision, although I'm still rather emotional about the content. God has done so ...

On one had I was discussing the Bodily Resurrection and hope that this discussion will go on, On the other side I was in a deep discussion with a couple of Calvinist. During the conversation it was stated that I seem to attack Calvinist. In s...
