Happy Independence Day!

The United States of America is far from perfect, but the same could be said of me. I love my country and the freedoms I am given. I choose to use those freedoms to love Jesus and encourage others to love Him.

May we, the citizens of this country, quit focusing solely on our rights and also focus on our responsibilities. May we become a nation of individuals who choose to love each other and seek to honor God.

“If my people, who bear my name, humble themselves, pray and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land” (2 Chron. 7:14).

    Helping Others See Jesus

    I’m a museum guy. I’ve written about this before, but while others go to the beach, I go to a museum. (Beaches aren’t air conditioned.) I love history, and I like learning. So there. When it comes …

    The Deadly Side of Curiosity

    Newsflash. If a snake bites you, do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Go straight to the hospital. You’d think a snake expert would do that. But noooo. Karl P. Schmidt was a world-renown herpetolog…
