1-2-3 JESUS LOVES ME Kids’ songs can be cute, though the messages can occasionally be somewhat strange. With apologies to my international readers, I confess that I do not know if my examples of American children’s songs will carry over to your culture or not. Sadly, I can only draw from my own childhood memories … Read more
The New York City Police Department, like most other departments, uses “10 codes” to help radio communication. Brief and succinct. For the NYPD, 10-13 is an emergency code meaning “Assist Police Officer.” Or, as commonly understood, “Officer Needs Help.” 10-13 is an emergency call that brings every available officer in your vicinity to your location … Read more
I’ve just come from a delightful international conversation about death and fear. When one considers the words “death” and “fear” together, the word “delightful” doesn’t typically make it into the sentence, does it! But this was a conversation that followed a worship service.

THAT’S NOT ENOUGH Tapping out is a signal between two martial artists that a sufficient threshold of pain has been reached to demonstrate a technique is being properly executed. When you’re training with a partner on, for example, wrist locks, and you’ve reached the point where the technique being applied is causing significant pain, you … Read more
Lackadaisical. Not a word you’re likely to see on a resume any time soon. To be honest, no one gives an all-out, 110% effort at every task at every time of every day. I remember watching the opening sequence from a comedy routine that left literally laughing out loud. The comedian was introduced and applauded, … Read more
When one thinks of fathers the mind naturally turns also to husbands. Whether or not it is still the case, God’s plan was that father’s ought also be husbands. Interestingly, the term “husbandry” has little more than a verbal affinity to the concept of husband and wife and actually has to do with the practice … Read more
