  • Everybody Hates Christians

    Don’t let the title of this post fool you. If you’re thrown off by this image and the title then chances are you have never heard of the show from the early 2000s based on the life of comedian Chris Rock as a teenager. The show was entitled “Everybody Hates Chris” and chronicled the awkward…

  • Thank God for the Devil

    Are you one of those people who needs someone to blame? When something goes “wrong” does your mind start racing looking for “who’s the cause of your disappointment”? Do you think, ” Why me?” Well have you ever thought, ” Why not me?” What makes so many of us think that we are so special…

For some people it might be something simple like “what career will I have when I get older?” Those people will probably work and work until they find what fits them. Then they…

  • What Would Pedro Do?

    On the steering wheel of my truck there is a cover with the letters WWJD on it.  As most of you know, that stands for “What Would Jesus Do?”.  For a long time you could find all sorts of  new WWJD merchandise everywhere.  Maybe it was because some people thought the world was about to end and…
