Be wary of leaders who want to control other people’s lives

 

What if God was actually for you, not against you?

 

Hoping that my beautiful Nadia has a delightful and enchanting birthday!

 

Is God relevant in every area of life?

 

We can deny Him if that’s what we choose to do

 ...But denying Him is not a good idea.

Ice cream or health food? Rachel straightens me out.

 

If she stole her bike back is it really even stealing?

 

Does God even care about us? Really?

 

A full day of fun and hijinks with Rachel

 

Christianity is not anti-science

 

It would probably be best if you did not watch this video

 

After Rachel finished her schooling (in her 20s) she insisted that she was retired

 

I’m so glad my friend Ken honked and got my attention as he was driving by with his beautifully restored 1956 Chevy Bel Air. I wish I could explain to you how clean and dazzling this car looks up close. I’m not—in any way—an expert on cars but even I could see that this vehicle is amazing.

Wow!

In fact, I’m so impressed I’m going to write it again: Wow!

(…This car deserves two “wows!”)

Very cool!

 

Can a person be evil?

 

Very sad to hear about Norm's passing

 

Is it ever okay for a Christian to fight back?

 

Sometimes we forget…you cannot fool God -- Full message

 

Is Rachel's butterfly coming back home?

 

Why is it important to remember the events of September 11, 2001?

 

Rachel releases her butterfly back to the wild. Wild, primitive, ferocious Oak Lawn.

 

 

And then the butterfly emerged!

 

Here's what happened this summer!

 

Be careful you don't fall to the same temptation

 

He is alive in you!

Would you like to take a break from stressful thoughts along with the news and information that brings on worry and anxiety?

Good! I thought you would say “yes.”

I encourage you to carve out a bit of time; go to a place where you can be alone; be quiet; and take a few moments to think about this: If you have put your faith and trust in Jesus and are genuinely living with Him, then the same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is actually alive in you.

Focus on this wonderfully encouraging truth: He is alive in you.

If you’re thinking, “Where did you ever come up with such a thing?!?” This truth is revealed to us in Romans chapter 8.

“And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”   Romans 8:10-11

Dan and Rachel talk about a Finley anniv. and important nutritional info

 

The photo on the right was my very first encounter with Finley, three years ago.

Shortly after I snapped the photo she escaped from her crate; snatched all the food off the table; stole my wallet; and chewed up my entire collection of very snazzy high-fashion shoes.

She has been our source of incredible mischief and incredible joy ever since!

 

Why does the media lie to us?

 

If we are willing, He will give us rest

 

When freedoms are taken away they are almost never restored
