Published on May 21, 2013, by Chris in Devotional, Humor.

My preferred worship location is on a hill before a dramatic sunset that transforms me into a faceless silhouette with my arms lifted high to the heavens. But that's just me.

This is a devotional I wrote for the weekly email for my company’s Christian Diversity Network Association: “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must

A Cry At Night

Published on May 16, 2013, by Chris in Special Needs.

For the first few years of his life, Hunter would wake up once or twice a night almost every night. Sometimes, we could get him to go back to sleep by snuggling him and giving him a bottle. Other times, he would just fuss and be cranky and would keep us up for a couple

Do You Even Lift?

Published on April 25, 2013, by Chris in Devotional, Humor.

This is a devotional I wrote for the weekly email for my company’s Christian Diversity Network Association, based on a topic I covered in a previous blog called Superstitianity.

Here are a few comical reviews I have written for products on Amazon. These reviews can still be viewed on Amazon.
