  • How to make Sense of the Bible

    Every year, there’s a bunch of folks who set out to read the Bible cover-to-cover in a year, but often don’t make it. They start out in Genesis, and get through creation and the flood. It’s rough, but kind of interesting. Exodus is exciting with Moses and his miracles, but then they hit Leviticus. Ugh,…

  • The Games

    I just finished listening to the latest installment of the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, and I have thoughts. While the first three books focused on Katniss Everdeen and her heroic journey, this book looks back at the formative years of Coriolanus Snow and his slide into villainy. His character in the first three…

  • The Mall Y’all

    Saturday is our family day and yesterday it was rare treat to have sunshine so late in the year. I was hoping to get a family hike in, but the thing about kids is that they don’t always do as you expect. My girls rejected the idea of hiking and instead fixated on going to…

  • Easter Blessings

    Grace is easy to accept, but hard to extend.

  • Main Street

    I have a little saying I tell myself. “When a movie has famous actors, but you’ve never heard of it, it’s because it’s bad.” I obviously didn’t listen to me, but maybe I can warn you. Main Street on Hulu isn’t very good. It’s the kind of movie that makes you wish you had your…

  • Mama Called the Doctor

    After dinner, I invited my daughters to come with me and watch movie that I had watched as a child. We snuggled up on my bed and turned on Bedknobs & Broomsticks with Angela Landsberry set in WWII England. Films from the last century, as delightful as they are, are much slower paced than children…

  • X-Men Again

    The theme rings true: the majority is often afraid of the minority that is different.

  • Canceled

    So many cultural things that I grew up with have been canceled. I agree than lots of songs and shows in the 1980s and 1990s were trash, but others have been deleted, not because of problematic content, but because of problematic creators. The Cosby Show for example was a staple of most households for a…

  • WandaVision

    A super hero story that we can all relate to.
