Texas awash in silver dollars 8:08

8:08

I’ve been studying the four Gospels as of late and have found it incredulous that the Jews would not accept Jesus as the Messiah. I just finished Josh McDowell’s book, More than a Carpenter. If you have not read it, you are truly missing out. It is a must read! Josh was an agonistic/atheist and was one of those of us who tried to disprove the Bible…

Easter 3:16

5d ago3:16

3:16

I thought about what Easter means to me. And invariably Christ’s face appeared in my mind. One should know that I have a Jesus image in my mind that has been cultivated over fifty some odd years. As I study it I am amazed. Now one (Jonhny-come-lately) version of the Jesus imprint has more recently been identified as Jesus who was wrapped in the lin…

One night my son and I and about fifty other people were invited to the Governor’s mansion for a reception with Governor Rick Scott and First Lady Ann Scott. The place was filled with important businessmen and women; (and then there was my son and me. And before you ask we have no idea how, or why, we ended up in the mix). So what does one do at a …

Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein Is Always ‘Embarrassed,’ and It Makes Great Material 26:29

7d ago26:29

26:29

Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein is “on a c*** mission.” [laughs] Not really, but sort of? In his first stand-up special, Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night of Your Life (HBO, April 26), the Emmy-winning actor muses about British people’s casual use of the C-word, and other things. Goldstein is quick to point out, “I owe everything to Ted Lasso.” “I…

I was praying yesterday, and asking God to forgive my mistakes of last year and to give me a quiet spirit of peace and determination to do better this year.

I visited Israel a couple of years ago and it was the most inspiring event of my life. Unlike here in the good old USA, people of all faiths in that country take God very seriously. There are more religious sites and holy places throughout their cities than fast food restaurants here. It is uplifting and spiritual just to be in that country and to …

This week, on The ABR Podcast, Miles Pattenden reviews Hope: The autobiography by Pope Francis. It is not every day that a pope writes a tell-all.

I was in Mexico City one time and had no idea how cold it gets there. It’s located at a higher altitude and at night it is freezing cold. I’d gone to a restaurant and after eating dinner was walking through a market and a little girl perhaps five years old came up to me and tugged on my pants leg. I looked down and was struck by her angelic beauty.…

Bernard Levin once said: “Countries like ours are full of people who have all of the material comforts they desire, yet lead lives of quiet (and at times noisy) desperation, understanding nothing but the fact that there is a hole inside them and that however much food and drink they pour into it, however many motorcars and television sets they stuf…

Narrow minded? 4:37

18d ago4:37

4:37

Christians are often accused by the world of being narrow minded and exclusionary. The reason for this is we believe that there is but one way to get to heaven and that is through Jesus Christ. Why do we believe that? Because we think that we are better than everyone in the world? Because we think that we are holier than everyone else in the world?…

Lately I feel as though I’ve lost my sense of direction. It is an unusual place for me to be; it seems as though God has withdrawn to a faraway place.

Destiny 6:15

22d ago6:15

6:15

Through the years many people have expressed their viewpoint about Jesus Christ. Most scholars, historians, and major religions acknowledge the existence of Jesus. For someone who only lived for 33 years He sure made an impact on this world. Even our time is marked by His birth and death, BC/AD. The Muslims acknowledge that He was a prophet in thei…

Forgiveness 5:16

25d ago5:16

5:16

It is a well-known fact that it is easier to forgive than forget. As the old adage states: “Once burned, twice shy.” Often those who wrong us take the position that because we are Christians we must as part of our faith necessarily forgive them just as though the event never occurred. This sounds as though some arrogant punk who knows the Bible rev…

Rest for the weary 6:23

27d ago6:23

6:23

One of the most rewarding things I’ve done in quite some time is to go through the Bible reading and studying one chapter per day 5 days per week. On the face of it that sounds excessive and some of you might question that there should be some time for a day off here and there. I suppose that depends upon one’s perspective. I’m not studying the Bib…

Mid-Century Modern Isn't the Gay Golden Girls (But They Get Why You'd Think That) 38:21

27d ago38:21

38:21

When Will & Grace premiered on NBC in 1998, it was groundbreaking because of the sheer lack of queer representation on network TV. Since then, numerous sitcoms have increased LGBTQ+ visibility on TV, but rarely gay characters of an older generation. To fill that void, those same Will & Grace creators, Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, developed Hulu’s…

One thing that I love about America is the First Amendment. Among other important things it guarantees free speech.
