The Greatest Adventure
No great adventurer knows what he shall find at the end of his journey, but he counts on adventure with each step. So it is when God calls. Do not expect to see from beginning to end but only His illumination from step to step for God's call is not to a destination but to the great adventure of discovering Him.

Can Atheists be Good?
This is a perennial question - can an atheist be good?
My answer: they can only appear to do good things if we lower the standard for what we call "good."
Atheist, Christopher Hitchens, taunts Christians with the question, "Name one good thing a Christian can do that an atheist cannot."
Atheists can commit their lives to helping the poor, needy, and downtrodden, even "surrender their body to be burned" for their fellow man (i.e. "be good"), but they cannot fulfill the highest moral imperative - worship God. Apart from the Agape love of the cross, the highest love of man is but a better hate - and not really "good" at all.

When Man is the Measure of All Things
... then all things must fit that yardstick.
The star filled sky is reduced to miles and wavelengths.
No beauty.
No wonder or awe.
No need to thank anyone.
Reality is replaced by its image - like a television soap opera.

Being an Adult Means ...
Driving yourself to the dentist.
