  • A Thought on Culture to Bring in the New Year

                As 2015 begins, I think about the culture around us and the need people, who are immersed within that culture, have for the freedom that we have in Jesus Christ. People everywhere cry out for freedom and very few find it. Within Christianity, we know the source of true freedom. His name is Jesus…

  • Oh To Hunt in a Dream

                I woke up and would have looked outside to gauge the weather but the sun had not yet begun to rise. I dressed in the clothes that I had prepared the night before and looked through my pack to ensure that I had packed all the necessary gear for my adventure. I placed my…

    My thoughts, as of late, revolve around this question. We, as a western culture, place so much value on human reason and in the rational facilities of the educated. In Genesis 3, we read a story of a man who knew God and learned all things from God. Before the Fall and the curse of…

  • Fusion: Year One (Shorty Short Story)

    “Mr. Purdue, Mr. Purdue, are you alright. I need you to wake up, sir!” A young man shook an older man gently, but frantically, as he feared for his life. “Sir!” his voice more elevated, “The pilot is dead and no one else knows how to fly a space ship! Sir!” Purdue pained himself to…
