The end of the world is pretty heavy stuff. 4 horsemen, lotsa fire, and let's not talk about the flying scorpions. But after all the noise and madness, a new day will dawn. And it's gonna be awesome! For your convenience, I did the research.* Because it's more than just streets of gold. And if you'd like to know, let's get into it! Back in Isaiah, he spoke of how "The cow and the bear shall graze."** Which might seem unnatural, but maybe it's how things were in the gard

When was the last time you thought about the stuff you think about? Kind of circular, I know. But it really is super important. Well, once again, I've researched this, so you won't have to. So, if you're prepared to ponder, let's get into it! First up, the world fills our brains with Fear, Impulsiveness, Anger, Jealousy, and Lust. I ended with that last one because it wraps up most of the ones before with a longing for stuff you don't have. Which I probably don't need to di

I posted something like this a while ago, but recent reports say that the pests are gone, and stuff like lettuce is back on the menu! * Still, I've been researching good food, so you don't have to. And right now, it's things you probaly don't typically eat. While still hard to beat. So if that sounds neat, let's get into it! First up, we're talking Moroccan carrot salad. ** For this, you're gonna want six sweet carrots, peeled and grated. Some people add a clove of

You might not know this, but that term really means Situation Comedy.* See? I did some research, so you wouldn't have to. But really, what I've done is put together some actual comedy you could use in real situations.** Because, I'm not a robot, and the odds are, neither are you. So, unless you have something better to do, let's get into it! Let's say you're on a first date. Maybe you could break the ice by asking, "Any idea why the blind don'skydive?" They'll look conf

Christians believe that we know how to save the world. But digging in, there has to be a game plan, if you will. A right way for stuff to unfold. A strategy that I researched,* so y'all don't have to. And if you're ready for kickoff, let's get into it! To start, we gotta pick a team. I don't mean Bhuddist or Muslim. But in Christianity, every pastor and priest has a different voice, a different understanding. But we're all in the same league, playing the same game.

You probably looked at that thinking,"Those two don't go together." But they kind of do. And they definitely should. To prove that, I've researched some things, so you won't have to. As per usual, its another unexpected form of truth. Hidden facts, with good to do. So if that's interesting to you, lets get into it! First off, I wanna be clear about what I'm saying. Suffering is real, and should be avoided. Also, not everything difficult is good. But in the 20th centur

We've all said something like this, at some point. But no matter how true it is, these statements can really hurt the other person. In fact,it can be so bad, it actually becomes a sin! Don't believe it? That's okay. I did the research, so you don't have to. It actually goes all the way back to the beginning, in Genesis. But more on that later. For the moment, whadya say? Let's get into it! The Catholics call it "Detraction."* And it's as bad as murder.But if that's har

I haven't shared these in a while. But people still go on mission trips, and they don't always hapen according to plan. Which means, funny things happen! And I felt really inspired, so I looked up few of these situations and things. Making it to where you won't have to. No need to thank me, this is just what I do. It might sound crazy, but these are all true. Now, if you're all braced for impact, let's get into it! Missionary Douane Luttenauer told of a language-learnin

Strife in the church is always toxic. But we've known that forever. The tricky bit is dealing with it. That's why I researched it, so you don't have to. As with most things in the church, there may be slight differences of opinion. But if we're all agreed, then let's get into it! The first issue that I wanna talk about producing conflict is stubborn pride. In this sense, it often shows up when folks have a rift in their understanding. See, somebody who's only been save

For anybody who doesn't know, Flatliners was a movie in 1990* about a bunch of medical students who decided to stop their hearts (Carefully) to glimpse what comes next. While somewhat flawed in it's theology, it actually had a good message. For the purposes of this article, I flatlined twice in 2014. Okay, that's not why, but I did watch both versions of this movie (Plus, I died for a bit and saw stuff.) And I'm about to share what I've learned, saving you time and money. If
