Dateline:San Juan Capistrano, California - (July 20) It was a strange day-a day like no other. I got called to come and pick a woman out of a lineup of individuals, just about the same height and dressed alike. There was a knot of tension in my belly, though I tried not to let on, because my selection of that woman would very possibly determine her future . .…

Archaeology of the deepest sort

Archaeology: Digging up the Holy Spirit.

GRIT ...and funerals?

Funerals Are Gritty

[See, I have been talking about G.R.I.T. - what it is, why it is important, and how a believer's apprehending of it is vital to living well and finishing well. All inspired by Angela Duckworth's book by the same name, in which she studies West Point cadets, Green Berets, national spelling bee winners, and what they have in common.
