Not That I Was “Looking for God.” Or Maybe I Was
Fool’s Odyssey posts can be read as standalones, or in sequence (to do so, begin here). Now, don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t exactly “looking for God” or anything. I mean, I was the guy who wrote, “Man makes God in … Continue reading

The Real Thing
“They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise!” ~Romans 1:25 Don’t just talk about what’s Real. Show it. Be it.

The Future of the Human Race–2021 Edition
