EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
If there had been newspapers back at the beginning of human history, the events that we have been discussing recently might have looked something like this when reported in the local paper. ******************************************** The Garden Gazette Serving the Greater Eden Area since the Creation of the World EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! A Crisis in the Cosmos! Yesterday, a tragedy of inestimable proportions took place in the Garden of God at Eden when a malevolent Being, previously unknown to the residents of the area, appeared in the Garden in the guise of a serpent and duped Adam and Eve, the overseers of the Garden, into disobeying the direct orders…

…But Why Couldn’t We Stay the Way We Were?
During our last time together, we began a discussion designed to lead us to a better understanding of the age-old problem of why, when we want to obey God in the spirit, do we so often fail to follow through in the flesh? It’s the old flesh-versus-spirit battle; a battle that we will need to learn to win if we are ever going to become overcomers like Jesus.

The Way We Are Isn’t The Way We Were…
While it is true that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and while it may seem that we have been wandering off the beaten path during some of our recent visits together, I feel certain that if we take a moment to do a brief recap of our journey together so far, we will find that we have been traveling along a remarkably straight road.

I wish I could take credit for it but, in spite of the fact that I…

Life is Simple…
During the course of our first three visits together, you have met and learned a little about me, you have been introduced, very briefly, to the greatest mentor that anyone could have—my mother, and you have learned how I, the least likely of all people, have found my way onto the web. Now, with all of these social amenities out of the way, I think it’s time for us to get down to the really important stuff, which is the reason that I am here on the web in the first place. To put it plainly, I am here to talk to you about “THE MEANING OF LIFE”. (Since I…

My Journey to the Land of Blog
Have you ever suddenly found yourself in a place and then wondered how you got there? Or, maybe you had actually been planning on a trip but then once you arrived at your destination, you felt like you needed to pinch yourself just to make sure that you were really there? Well, that’s the kind of situation I find myself in these days as far as this whole blogging business is concerned. I mean, as few as three months ago, if anyone had suggested that I write a blog, I would have laughed and said, “Do what?” That’s because, as the most private person I know as well as one…
