Biker Chowdown PodcastsI am one of those guys who grasped for the brass ring and chased after the ever-elusive dream only to learn that my value to society is not in becoming famous, or recognized, or wealthy. To be the best I can be very simply is to be genuine, to be…
I was sitting in church Sunday and our local preacher reminded me that I am getting to be an old man. During his sermon he said something to the effect, “You know your getting old when you start asking, why do things have to change?” It was at that moment…
I pray this does not turn out to be a convoluted mess, but it is a topic I find myself returning to often (if only in my own mind). Can a faithful Christian engage in civil disobedience and still be submissive to Paul’s instructions to be submissive to governing authorities…
