March 3, 2021 When a Trailer Park Kid Freezes to Death. *His funeral was just a few days ago… Growing up, I was taught to see trailer parks as the epicenter of trash. While I don’t remember exactly who taught me such a thing, I know that I wasn’t born with such an idea…therefore…I was taught…right? I’m sure that I’m not the only one who grew up in such a way…looking down on those who we assume... Read more
February 16, 2021 Eschatology: a Forgotten Theology for Our Perilous Time Eschatology (the study of the end) still matters. Matthew 16: 1-3 “The religious leaders wanted a sign.

February 12, 2021 Missions = Disgusting “How many souls of savages have you won today?” “If you love Jesus…more than anything else…you’ll be more than willing to get your penis chopped off in the jungle so that others might know Christ…” “Missions is not about the people that you’re evangelizing…it is about God’s greater glory.” “You should never let your concern for your own body come between you and someone coming to know Jesus.” ...

Something reminds me of what I’ve missed… Can the past change the present? Could something be sent to us? Can the present change the past? Could something be sent back? What would happen? Would it change anything? Can anything be changed? We live in a sort of arrogance with regard to these questions. We assume we know and that is all.

January 28, 2021 The Vaccination Ethic. In the midst of viral sickness, there is a vaccination ethic… When God comes in all of God’s glory, God will sit upon the highest mountain. All the nations will be gathered below, and God will separate the people one from another. God will put the righteous on one side and the unrighteous on the other. Then God will say to the righteous, “Come, you who are blessed with love; take your inheritance, for I have prepared a... Read more

Officer Brian Sicknick Speaks! : Trump/Trumpsters Condemned from the Grave “And we fight. We fight like hell.” The hair on the back of his neck rose up. “And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” Something in him snapped. “Let’s go!!!” He was activated. “Let’s show those bitches whose boss!” Fists in the air, he started to run. “There’s Hawley!” By responding with a raised fist, the Senator assured him that everything...

The Final Prayer. / On the Death of Jack Dillard. / My Grandfather. I’ve been hesitant to write about it. Sometimes words just can’t capture the totality of loss. The tumult of disagreement never destroyed our relationship. Throughout it all, we spoke as often as we could. Though often imperfect, I never doubted his love. In the end, I was afforded one last visit. This was our final prayer. God We... Read more
