Exodus 6:25 Aaron died before crossing the Jordan and entering the Promised Land. His son, Eleazar, was High Priest during that crossing. His son, Phinehas, … Continue reading Phinehas
Elk Jerky for the Soul: It's tough, but you need it!
This, the 1st week of July 2012 saw the release of statistics that more people went on disability rolls than started new jobs. While we all know that the government wants to increase welfare rolls and that there are people who want to get something for nothing, I am assuming that the vast majority of … Continue reading Horsewhipped
The Captives, by Precarious Yates An Introduction to Aiqua Marrin Welcome to Aiqua Marrin, the watery world featured in The Heart of the Caveat Whale trilogy. When I say that Aiqua Marrin is mostly water, I don’t mean it in the same way that earth’s mostly water. No, I’m talking about 95% of seamless … Continue reading Guest Post by Precarious Yates, about her new Fantasy, The Captives
This is the second book I have read by Joana James. While it's less perfect technically than Nightmare at Emerald High, it's still a very moving, powerful story about the power of God and the prayers of the faithful. Could anybody have more to overcome than Alana and Alyssa? You won't know unless you read … Continue reading What Will You Do to Save Your Sister? A Review of Alana & Alyssa’s Secret by Joana James
On a blog devoted to life and death issues, this really does not fit in, but here it is anyway. When you buy snack chips, there is air in the bag. This helps prevent the chips from being crushed. It also means that snack chips must be packaged for the altitude where they will be … Continue reading Through the Windshield 4: Exploding Potato Chips
"La Belle Americaine" is a phrase often repeated in this story. It appears in the diary which Abby Long finds hidden in a beautiful antique desk she buys at auction. But it isn't used to describe the person I believe is the truly "Beautiful American" in this story. Jasmine is a slave who providentially comes … Continue reading Impossibilities and Possibilities: a Review of The Beautiful American by Marilyn Holdsworth
Lora-Beth Barnett has been my (Mary's) friend longer than I have known my husband. We are honored that she chose to share her story with us and our blog readers. A few months ago I went to the doctor to get some prescriptions renewed. I happened to mention that even though I was well past … Continue reading Cancer Lite is still Cancer Guest Post by Lora-Beth Barnett
I intended to make this a review of Shawn Lamb's book All0n, Book 1. Instead it morphed as I wrote it into a personal view of what makes good Christian fantasy/SciFi. Though I have written fiction, I usually write nonfiction. I read fiction, such as The Hobbit, The Lord of The Rings, War and Peace, … Continue reading Can Fantasy/SciFi Be Christian? by Michael J. Findley
I was given a copy of the book by the author's publicist. If you dismiss Christian fiction as sappy or shallow or "chick lit," you'll miss really fine books like this one. It isn't really a romance. It's certainly not women's fiction. Several male characters get a lot of ink, men flawed, fine, and being … Continue reading Causing and Calming Storms: A Review of Summer Storms by Rebekah Lyn
Allon is the first in a fantasy/allegory series by Shawn Lamb. The biggest mystery is who you can and cannot trust. Lamb presents characters, some only briefly, but startles us with their motives and revelations of good or bad character, and the consequences of their actions. Beware of jumping to conclusions. Some things are predictable … Continue reading Mysteries, Characters and Distractions: A review of Allon by Shawn Lamb

This is not about your indiscretions which might show up in human resources. Yes, those are important, but this is about the very existence of the company you work for. "But I work for a huge, stable company." If you believe that you are safe then you do not understand how the stock market works. … Continue reading Will You Lose Your Job Because of Facebook?
This is for the Landstar community, but I am posting this for the world at large because I am asked about this at least twice a day. From here on out, I will just post a link to this blog. Since this is for everyone, I will explain some details the Landstar community takes for … Continue reading A $2 a mile load pays more than $12.50 a mile load?
This is a rest stop along I-80 near Laramie, Wyoming which serves to commemorate the Lincoln Highway, which, the displays say, crossed the US from Times Square to San Francisco. There is a huge sculpture of Abraham Lincoln's head on the site as well. Displays tell how the sculpture was made, how many tons of … Continue reading Why does Abe Lincoln Look So Grim?
Many friends and blog readers may be offended that I have read and am reviewing a book sometimes classified as "Christian Horror." Calling it an oxymoron or worse, some people say horror has no place in Christianity. What is appropriate to write and call Christian is a big area of disagreement. Workshops, seminars and conferences … Continue reading Bringing Light, Casting Shadows: A Review of Lisa Grace’s Angel in the Shadows
Daddy grew watermelons in his garden—Black Diamond Watermelons— gorilla sized, not the striped tabby-kitty varieties we see in stores now. A watermelon is a wondrous thing—a vegetable, experts say. Daddy plopped seeds about the size of my pinky fingernail into the ground and then irrigated the rows. Botanists tell me when you plant a watermelon, … Continue reading THE POWER IN A WATERMELON SEED Guest Blog by Ada Brownell
Likely to be the most popular movie of all time, The Avengers doesn't need any hype from me, just as Captain America doesn't think anybody would ask him to join a group of heroes to save the world. He wonders if he isn't a little old fashioned. Phil (paraphrasing, and there will be more about … Continue reading Review of The Avengers
Though Solomon warns us of the dangers of sloth in Proverbs 6:6-11, The Busy One is an Arabic title for Satan based on Job 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down … Continue reading The Busy One
Montana has the largest surface area (by measuring all the mountain area) of the 48 contiguous states. It's filled with bumper stickers like "My state is bigger than your state." Yet small states like Arkansas have more roads for trucks than Montana. So last year when we drove from North Dakota west across central Montana … Continue reading Through the Windshield 3
