Carl Sagan is a hero to many guys my age with similar interests (that is to say, geeks heading into middle-age). He was on PBS frequently as I grew up. Some of my friends were more interested in catching “Cosmos” than “The Dukes of Hazzard” or “Knight Rider”. Sagan did do quite a bit to [...]

Albert Einstein states: “The field is the sole governing agency of the particle.” Einstein is saying that the invisible forces (the field) are responsible for shaping the material world (the particle).
– As quoted by Bruce Lipton
In physics, there is an understanding that if two things have the same energy vibrations, they share “harmonic resonance”. This [...]

I am a believer in leading by example. I know that the men and women I lead are more likely to follow me and work hard if they know that I understand their position. It’s either through knowing that I’ve been there and done that or that I’m doing it right alongside them. There’s respect [...]

“That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, ‘Let us go over to the other side.’ Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it [...]

I consider the pastors at my church to be good when I go home challenged and convicted. If they’ve helped to point out an area of my life that I’m neglecting or I’m compromising, then they’ve done good. I’m not a masochist, mind you, but I want to be challenged to become a better servant [...]

Have you ever stated your opinion about life and morals only to get smacked with someone with credentials? What I mean to say is challenged by the statements of someone with a business card with lots of letters on it, like B.S., M.S., or Ph.D.? The inference is to stand aside, sit down, and shut [...]

I’ve been around churches long enough to see good people get burned out. I think it’s a shame that, on average, a very small percentage of any given congregation is responsible for all of the volunteer work inside the church. However, for those who are doing that work, it can be easy to fall into [...]

There’s a great scene in “The Untouchables” where one of Al Capone’s men is sent to kill Jim Malone, played by Sean Connery. The killer pulls a knife and Malone says something like, “You don’t bring a knife to a gunfight!” before pulling out a gun and dispatching the bad guy.

I like that line because [...]

I am famous, at least around my kitchen table, for my opinion about my fellow believers when they say things like, “God gave me this verse.” I now ask, “Show me.” Then, I point out that the verse was written by this person for that person concerning a particular issue. Then I break the bad [...]

As the years have passed, I find myself becoming more compassionate for those who are having a hard time. I hurt when I hear about a marriage breaking up when both parties are trying to save it. I feel the pain of those who have lost their jobs or have had medical emergencies drain their accounts. One [...]
