Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let … Continue reading A Wedding Sermon

The Truth About Seeing
You've gotta watch this: If a picture is worth a thousand words then a three minute video is worth a million. These guys at Soulbend Productions were hired by Hi-Tec to raise some awareness about their shoes. Pay for commercial time? No way! How much commercial time can you buy with $5 000? Instead they … Continue reading The Truth About Seeing
The Point of Genesis 1
God is the hero of every Bible story. Right from the beginning, it is not about us, it is about God and the purposes He is accomplishing. The creation account of Genesis was never written to be a scientific treatise on how God accomplished the creation of the world. It was not a plan to … Continue reading The Point of Genesis 1

Faces of London
While on holidays we met a bunch of new faces, and got to see some faces we already knew. While we are sorting pictures I thought I would put a few of them together. If we were using film cameras most of these pictures would never have been taken but since a digital takes each … Continue reading Faces of London
Farewell to London
We squeezed in one more sight before we headed to the airport. We had breakfast in Leaden Market which doesn't sound like a big deal until you see the pictures. It's the site of where they filmed Diagon Alley. We also saw the restaurant where they filmed the entrance into Hogs Head. It's currently an … Continue reading Farewell to London
A Drama-tic Final Day
On Wednesday we got up very early and caught a train from Edinburgh to London and had one last look at the city. First a quick stop at Kings Cross to see Platform 9 ¾ of Harry Potter fame. No big deal, just on a brick wall between platforms 9 and 10 there it was. … Continue reading A Drama-tic Final Day
