Movie Review – Snow White and the Huntsman

They say the former king’s daughter, Snow White, has escaped, bless her. You hadn’t heard? It’s all up and down the street. Haven’t you even seen all those guards riding with swords clanking? After being imprisoned in one of those castle towers for 10 long years, the poor dear somehow managed to slip through that evil Queen Ravenna’s fingers and make a run for it! […]

Helping Hands Don’t Hurt People!

One day my children are going to kill each other.  This may not be true but some days it sure feels that way. My wife and I recently spent time with one of our friends, Jessica W.   During our time together she shared with us the concept, “helping hands don’t hurt people.” The phrase is very simple but it is extremely profound for my 4 […]

Taste of Heaven

I went to heaven the other day.  It was amazing.  No, I didn’t go to heaven via a dream or near death experience.  I went to heaven in North Carolina.  Heaven is not the name of a city or place in North Carolina, but I did go to heaven for a few brief moments. During dinner at Lifeway’s Ridgecrest conference center, I experienced heaven.  My […]
