The Fountain of Youth is a mythical spring which is supposed to erase some of the years time has bestowed upon us. Somehow Ponce de Leon and the state of Florida make claim to this fabled site. No need for me to travel to St. Augustine to get a piece of the action; this tender wellspring simply walks into our home each time that our daughter Ruthie pays a visit. She is young and beautiful, both inside and out, and I am blessed to be infused with this novel source on a regular basis. She reminds me so much of […]

About a dozen seasoned men meet to learn, decipher and understand what Scripture means and has for them in an environment akin mostly to a rugby pitch. There are plenty of scrums, rucks and an occasional knee below the belt as personal hardships, health issues and disappointments are tempered with accomplishments, praise reports and spiritual growth. We are brothers on a mission to learn more about Jesus, to put to use the lessons gleaned daily, and to rely on each […]

This week, I read an article by an American evangelical writer — someone who, by his admission, primarily writes for European and African audiences. Like much of his recent work, this piece was deeply critical of the current American administration. A well-known global Christian organization then amplified it, sharing it with a vast audience. I commented, and to his credit, the author reached out. We had a respectful exchange, and he invited me to respond on his blog. I prefer to journal about it in my own forum. So here it is. For American evangelicals — hear me — I […]
