Cold Case Christianity

I'm fortunate enough to have a close friend, with whom I'm able to talk openly about my faith.  And, I imagine that we have a lot of the same questions as most people with regards to God.  Like, why does he seem absent a lot of the time?  And, why do bad things happen to good people?  My friend ended up finding this great video by J. Warner Wallace, who not only does videos, podcasts, and blog posts, but also writes books on Christianity.  If you've seen God's Not Dead 2, you'll probably recognize him from the below court scene.


I was so excited to find out that this guy was real, and not just a character in the movie.  I just love his approach to making Christianity and the Bible easier to understand.  There's no other way to put it than, J. Warner just makes it all make sense!

I've downloaded the Case for Christianity app, and have been listening to Warner's podcasts when I can.  I just can't get enough.  Some of my favorites are Was Jesus Offensive?,  Why Is God So Hidden?, Why Would a Good God Allow Evil, and The Resurrection of Jesus.  This isn't about trying to convert others, but rather, simply looking at the facts like a detective looking for the truth.  Take an opportunity to have a listen!  His podcasts are only about 30 minutes long.

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall.   It’s like a switch was flipped.   The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter.   I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August.   Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.   And, it was amazing.   I’m so excited that fall is here.   I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food.   I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties.   I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!

Oh Lord

When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die Don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here?

Forward is Forward

There are definitely days, weeks, or even more extended periods of time when I feel stuck.  I feel like I'm not going anywhere and no matter what I do, and that I'm not making any progress.  But, the truth is, whether we see it or not, every day we get up and continue to work on our goals, is a day that we are moving forward.  We just have to keep persevering despite all the obstacles and distractions.  Think of it this way, we don't value things that come easy!
