It’s a Candy Land kind if night.

Psalm 25
Psalm 25:1-7 1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.2 O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me.3 Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. 4 Make me…
Quiet the Chaos
Do you ever get to that place where you get so busy and so stressed that all you want to do is climb in a corner and hibernate? Or cry? Or drink five Monsters and end it all right there? You feel like you’re at the end of the thread that’s hanging off the end…

A Deal-Breaker
As a pastor, I don’t officially endorse candidates. I am a registered Independent who makes every attempt to take a biblical approach to issues related to politics. Though I try to refrain from talking about specific candidates and believe it is wrong to turn a church pulpit into a political “stump”, it is my responsibility…

Mind Hackers: Researchers Now Able to Gather Info from Brains (ones still being used!)
Does this creep anybody else out? Researchers from the University of California and University of Oxford in Geneva figured out a way to pluck sensitive information from a person’s head, such as PIN numbers and bank information. The scientists took an off-the-shelf Emotiv brain-computer interface, a device that costs around $299, which allows users to…

Accountability Is Not Hate
There is a new article in Newsday today that reports on a group of illegal aliens who are protesting being called illegal aliens: A small group of immigrants gathered in Woodbury Monday to protest the use of the word “illegal” to describe those who have entered the United States without documentation. “By saying illegal, they’re…

Bragging for Fun and Profit
My message Sunday was on Humility where, among other things, I talked about a not-so-rare disease called “Twitter-itis,” the condition that causes one to retweet whatever flattering thing was said to or about them on Twitter to their own hundreds or thousands of loyal, adoring followers. The problem is that this is a disease we…

Mini-Drones: Coming to a Neighborhood Near You
The “cool-factor” is very high, but when I think about neighbors potentially flying this around the neighborhood checking each other out, the “creep-factor” goes through the roof. The Parrot AR Drone 2.0, listed on Amazon just below $300, is the best way to live out one’s fantasy of being a spy. The miniature drone is…
