Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Presidents' Day, etc. Life goes on, busyness and laziness abound, out of my routine...

As you can tell, I am not very consistent with blogging. Although I am an okay "self-starter", sitting down to write something isn't...

Like I said the other day, I'm a-gonna try. Let's think about the question of origins. Everything has a beginning, right? After all,...

Election day, and I was going to vote--even went to my polling place, only to find out in municipal elections I had to go to my precinct...

In some respects, FCCN is like the church in Corinth. 1 Corinthians 1:26 reminds us to "think of what you were when you were called. ...
