Recent bloopers

I’m sure you’ve read some of the bulletin bloopers. They seem to always come as forwards from some of your best friends, and then you have to forward them on to some other of your best friends or something really bad will happen to you.
A Pentecostal group sent their bulletin to all of the Geneva [...]

Federer and the America's Cup

All sport lovers in this small country are focused on Valencia, Spain and London, England. I guess that means they are cross-eyed.
The Swiss sailing enterprise Alinghi (the first European team to ever win the America’s Cup) is defending its trophy against Team New Zealand. It’s a best of 9 series, with the two teams tied [...]

Hunger and thirst

In the last few posts, I’ve been working through “searching”, basically that we are all searching for something or someone; that God built us that way to look for Him, yet we do so as one groping in the darkness (Acts 17). We resemble, if only a bit, intelligent Googles, continually sending out queries, some [...]

Closer than we ever thought?

Happy birthday, sis! – An old story tells of the millionaire who spotted a beautiful old painting in a book which covered the history of art. He fell under its charms and decided he had to add it to his collection. So he called his curator and charged him to find the work and to [...]
