My wife's jewelry, sold at GracefullThings.com, can still be delivered by Christmas. Jeanene is taking orders up until Sunday night for shipping Monday morning, Priority Mail. She has some really cool new stuff. She's taken some classes and now hammers and solders her own metal pieces. She's also making matching earrings for most of her stuff.
I think her stuff is INSANELY under-priced, considering each piece is a unique creation. But she doesn't listen to me. Check it out!
Perhaps you were waiting the inevitable lawsuit following the Marine pilot's crash into a California neighborhood. Korean immigrant Dong Yun Yoon, a very devout Christian, isn't interested in lawsuits and has already forgiven the pilot. Moreover, he is concerned that the pilot may have long-lasting grief and sorrow over this terrible event. Read the Story
In 2007 I met with The High Calling, a non-profit organization in San Antonio. We were casting about for ways to increase web traffic. I proposed that the High Calling create a branded network of blogs, all linked to a centralized source. The central site would feature the work of the bloggers, which would please them and motivate them to link to the main site. The network of links, I predicted, would grow until it became self-sustaining. The traffic increase at High Calling Blogs has proven me correct.
Marcus Goodyear and I have worked together with some others in developing this community. The High Calling model allows anyone to join the network. There are currently over 200 bloggers involved. (My High Calling Blogs bio page)

The greatest part of my writing is contained at my old RLP site. Unfortunately, I was unable to import those hundreds of essays into the new site, where they could be cataloged and easily found. It can be done, but it will cost me $200, and currently that's not a high priority for the family. Maybe someday.
Until then you can find most of the essays at the old site by using the old subject browser and by searching. Unfortunately, I didn't always tag things with subjects in the old days. This means if you don't know what to search for and the essay has no category, it probably cannot be found. But there is plenty there if you are interested.

This is the fourth and final video in the hell series. I offer some thoughts and suggest a different way to think about the issue. It is my opinion that we shouldn’t waste time talking about hell in detail, other than in speculative conversations. I don’t think we have enough information about heaven to speak much of it either. Christians should concentrate on this present life, leaving questions about the after-life aside.
Forgive the off-the-cuff manner of these videos. I didn’t have scripts, and I did them in one take. No cutting and splicing. I know that in the
Here is my second video in the series on hell. In this video, I simply want to record what the New Testament has to say about hell. I give no personal interpretation on the matter. In going through all of your emails and my own study, I created a spreadsheet which you might find helpful. You can get a .pdf version here.
Note: I chose not to deal with a number of passages where, at the end of parables or teachings, Jesus refers to a place of darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. My thinking was this: If you are going to come to an understanding of
This was wonderful to watch...and a little sad. As much work as it was having small children, and as much fun as I'm having with them partly grown, I must admit that I miss things like this.
