Does God Have an “EASY” Button?
Most writers I know—including me—are neurotic. I don’t mean writers like pastors who transcribe sermon notes into books. Or business executives who, with the help of ghostwriters, translate business plans into how-to success manuals. I mean writers who define their … Continue reading

Can You Hear Me Now?
Just before dawn this morning, the space shuttle Atlantis touched down at Cape Canaveral, ending a 13-day business trip delivering scientific equipment and supplies to the International Space Station 250 miles above Earth. It was the 135th and final mission, … Continue reading

Today I received one of those alerts on my computer that announces a software update is available to download. When I clicked on the icon to install it, a Terms and Conditions contract appeared. You know the drill. It’s that … Continue reading
Does Jesus Tweet?
I have a confession to make. I don’t tweet. I know, I know. Neanderthal. I’m not against social networking. I’m on Facebook and LinkedIn. But sometimes the exploding number of networking options leaves me feeling I’m being hunted down by … Continue reading
Better than WonkaVision
The worst thing about aging is you start being careful. Careful about what you eat. Careful with how you spend money. Careful about where you step. Your mother might say, “Honey, that’s not being careful. That’s called ‘growing up!” But … Continue reading

I was sitting around with a group of friends recently and one of them asked, “What name would you give yourself that would immediately telegraph to other people who you are?” My daughter hates those kind of games, but I … Continue reading
