JD…Wonderful story! I wish I had time and space to tell you about two guys here in ENM who aren’t a part of my fellowship, but don’t see themselves as anything but Christians. These guys are two of the most incredible guys I know. What they’ve done in response to me, and the way they’ve [...]

When I was younger, my intention was to teach Agriculture. I got an AgEd degree to prove it. A semester of student teaching at a prominent South Texas high school, though, broke me of that. Fortunately, I was a part of TAMUK’s livestock judging team and my coach got me an interview with IBP Inc . I took [...] -

I have a week off in my MACR program and for us here at the NMCC, summer is officially coming to an end. School for some, here, begins tomorrow. The county fair is next week, so that will add some serious spice to our lives. Nevertheless, there has been considerable inquiry into what life is like working [...]

Steve, Thanks for commenting. I do not disagree with your assessment of John’s message, the destruction of Jerusalem and Malachi 3. I am not convinced, though, that John understood that the destruction of Jerusalem would not be imminent, though. I think, like all of Jesus’ other disciples, John was just as confused about the kingdom [...]

What could have made John the Baptist question the Messiahship of Jesus? Something was at work, but what was it? I believe the answer lies within Matthew 11:6: “And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” The key word is “offended.” Contextually, it is clear to me that Jesus is speaking of [...]

Thanks Raymond. Questions have to be asked and I am glad that people are feeling comfortable in coming to me to ask questions about things. Here there are real misgivings about God, in general. Why would he allow people to experience what they have? Who can blame them? Several have been abandoned, repeatedly.

“There’s no such thing as a stupid question!” We’ve been told this is true but many of us are not compelled to believe it. And it’s not that we don’t believe the statement, in principle, to be true. We just don’t believe that those who often utter these words always mean it. I’m not convinced we [...] -

Karyn, Thanks for commenting. I understand your sentiment. I think Donald Miller has opened up a ton of interest in his memoir style and I think Sarah has found her own niche in Picking Dandelions. I didn’t express this in my review, nor have I shared it with her in our email dialogue, but I [...]

A simple conversation one evening generated something that still leaves me in awe. It was the evening before Thanksgiving 2009. Family had gathered at my sister’s house in Beeville, TX. Someone, I think it was my niece, Courtney, asked a question about love. Not the generic, common love that pervades the world. Not the kind of love expressed on a [...] -

I hadn’t felt like I’d traveled backwards in time, and spent moments with someone I didn’t know, like this since I read Donald Miller’s , Blue Like Jazz. I’m serious. No hyperbole here. Sarah Cunningham’s , Picking Dandelions: A Search for Eden Among Life’s Weeds did that for me. Do you know the feeling of seeing something you know you shouldn’t have? Remember catching [...] -

…is something you take for granted until you start losing it. Another lesson I’m learning here at the New Mexico Christian Children’s Home is that time is precious. It flies by like dust through Eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle. We are adjusting well to our new surroundings and new labors. We are working now [...]
