Most of the action movies of today are based around a plot of revenge. One person does something horrible to another, and the rest of the movie is spent plotting how to make them pay for what they have done. We see so much of this in everyday life that most people think revenge is [...]

This song probably has to be close to my all-time favorite. It doesn’t matter who sings the words, it is always a blessing. I believe it is one of those few songs that God just penned Himself using a person’s hands to write the words.
Sometimes I get discouraged by looking at things that happen around [...]

A week ago my cousin was tragically killed in an automobile accident at the age of 38. Another person ran a stop sign and rammed his truck right where he was sitting. It flipped over at least twice, and was really mangled up. He died a few hours after being taken to the hospital. There [...]

I got the following information from the Museum of Science and Industry of Chicago website. It is very fascinating stuff and reminds me of how great God is.
