2Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight (KJV). Since the Word of God is true, then we should expect His principles to operate in our lives as He said. If we are to walk by faith, then we are going to have to stop relying on our natural senses, and be led of...

Yesterday I got home from work and did some quick calculations in my head to decide whether to try to squeeze in a run before a meeting at church at 7:30. Life has been busy though, and I decided not to rush around. Instead I grabbed the dog leash and took Chuck for a walk. That was merciful...

In 1985 my wife Linda and I were married in a church ceremony and then an outdoor reception in the backyard of her parents home in Addison, IL. It turned out to be a picture book day with friends and family in attendance. Yet weddings are dizzying affairs. People from all corners of your life...

Having just read Oliver Sacks's Hallucinations, I decided to plow through a book that has been on my shelf for a long time: The Varieties of Religious Experience by William James.
