I’ve been getting into a lot of conversations about contentment lately. Despite my usually ranting blogs, I am usually content with the direction my life is heading in and I’m thankful for what I have.

Here’s a fun bingo game you can play during church, in a Bible Study or on an outing with super-righteous friends. The buzzwords are all either over-used Christianeese, or words and phrases most Christians use so much that they’ve forgotten the meaning. Once you get Bingo, just shout AMEN! and your pastor will never know [...]
Listen up ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, young and old… It’s that time of year again, time to open your hearts and wallets. As you know, Christmas is coming, and there are millions of little youngins out there who won’t be able to have a Christmas because through no fault of their own, they [...]
During the more difficult episodes of life, people will often say they need a good cry. I’m not opposed to a good cry, but sometimes I find a good laugh to be far more rewarding. For those who are not familiar with Tim Hawkins, he is a Christian comedian who has brought me great joy [...]
