Today on Holy Saturday we remember how Christs precious body lay entombed and His disciples scattered in fear and hiding for their lives. We also remember the Three Myrrh Bearing women who faithfully sought out the Lords Tomb to anoint the body. It was they who found the tomb empty...

I just want to wish everyone a happy and safe Easter. Have fun with your families and remember that the real meaning of Easter is Jesus and The Ressurection (spelling?).

Some shopping tips from Mary Lou Fulton, a vice president here at The Californian:
I'm a big fan of 99 Cent stores. I was there last night (Columbus and Mt Vernon location) and they have tons of stuff for Easter baskets you can make on the cheap: baskets in a variety of colors, the fake...

I know it's been over a week since Spring Break, but I was whisked off to work in Madera for a week before I got a chance to write about my adventures that week. I guess it doesn't really matter as the subject matter isn't really time specific, so without further ado, I give you "What I...

My family's Easter Sunday took an abrupt nosedive when my dear cousin, Daniel, was killed in a traffic accident on Saturday afternoon. Daniel was 36 years old, had a sweet wife and two beautiful little boys. He was sitting at a traffic light when a car driven by a gang member on the run from the...

He had to be man to die, he had to be God to be sinless. When Christ died on the cross, God saw this as the payment for all of our sins. Christ was our substitute. He died in our place. The Bible tells us many things about His love for us, one notible is Isaiah 53:6 "The Lord has laid upon...

Resurrection Sunday, aka Easter Sunday, is upon us. For those who believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, this is cause for celebration. For those who haven't felt the beauty of his grace, for those who haven't known the forgiveness of sins, and for those who have not...

As an atheist, I find myself thinking about freewill, quite often. So...since this is the day that, if one believes the Bible, Judas betrayed Jesus...let's talk about freewill.
I asked this question in another blog (comments section), but I want to fleece it out here and get more...

The psyche, the soul and the scriptures series:
Guilt is one of the biggest barriers to personal growth and development. It torments the soul and stifles the psyche. As a psychologist, I have had to attempt to undo what has been done to members of certain church congregations by ministers...

Psyche, Soul & Scripture Series: Thread I:
If you think spring break is cause for celebration, try Easter.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Probably not. That would certainly date you. But I hope this song will transport you there, just long enough...

Help! My very smart, very self-assured 4-year-old daugther just spilled the beans on the Easter Bunny to her entire preschool class.
The teacher tried to brush over it, but after the class she pulled my wife to the side and implied in the nicest way that we need to get with the program and buy...

I just read about the guy who lit himself on fire in front of the courthouse. What an idiot! I don't care if someone has a differing point of view on something, but please, address such issues in a rational way. This guy was, apparently, so upset over the decision to name the school breaks...
