I meant to do this post weeks ago. The holidays and a cruddy cold took care of that notion. Still, anybody who reads a newspaper or watches the news knows that North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-Il slipped into eternity in December. His son, Kim Jong-Un has succeeded him as the new ruler of one of [...]

I regret to admit that my generation has really lost the art of writing a creative and personal letter. My peers and I remember learning to write letters and having pen pals, but we also remember when email was invented (for me, during middle school).

I find myself often praying portions of Philippians 2:5-11 with folks during this Christmas season.
