Adjusting to Being Alone

Last time I wrote anything at all on this blog was on November 12th, 2022, just six days before my wife Suni went Home to Heaven. I ended that post by stating I would probably write about it more, once I had recovered from her passing. Well, I’m finally...

Losing Friends and now my Best Friend

As if it were yesterday, I remember being a kid and playing with all my friends in the neighborhood. Nearly every day we would engage in a football game or some other type of sport until we were throughly exhausted…and then some. We started early and continued throughout the...

The Producer, The Screenwriter, The Director and the Actors

I often think about how the “Trinity” can be clearly explained to someone who is new to Christianity. Even most non-Christians know that the Trinity consists of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. But it seems very confusing. They ask, either silently to themselves, or verbally to...

Pharisee or Tax Collector?

Most Christians and many non-Christians are familiar with the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9-14). I was looking at this one recently and I thought about it differently than I usually do. For a quick summary, the parable talks about two men, one a highly...

Politics = Faith or Faith = Politics?

I think this is a very consequential topic today! To slightly restate the title in more detail, do you think people choose their “religion” (i.e. belief methodology) based on their political views or do their political views arise as a product of their faith? Following is my take on...

Why didn’t God create us as perfect beings?

I think people have asked this question from the beginning of time. Many of us believe in God but we struggle to understand why there is so much suffering, pain, and heartache in the world. Others of us may have chosen not to believe or worship God. “A loving...

An Angel’s Perspective on why prayers can be delayed

Prayer is how people connect with God. I pray to God to Thank Him for each glorious day and for all the blessings I receive. Also, I pray to request healing for myself and for others. Above all, I pray for my family members, friends, acquaintances, co-workers and even...

Are Christians “better” than other people?

Many people resist Christianity because they believe that Christians consider themselves “better than” or “above” non-Christians. This is absolutely not the case for real Christians! We fully know that we are not better than anyone else; moreover, we often know a multitude of non-Christians who are much “better” people...

Half Full or Half Empty(ish)

You are probably acquainted with the ageless question of the “Half Full” and the “Half Empty” glass, right? To summarize, a glass is filled (or emptied) to its halfway point and is judged by one person as half full, by another as half empty. This owes, it is often...

Did we create God or did God create us?

I believe that each one of us, in one form or another, believes in God. Of course God means different things to different people. We all put something first in our lives and whatever that something is, it is our God. It could be our husbands or our wives,...
