2:76 – Snarky Parents, Snarky Jesus #faithbites #faithjourney snarky I don’t know about you, but I like to make my own choices. I like to try new things and go out and get them done. Sometimes, ok more than I would like to admit, those things may end badly for me or just not turn out the way I thought […]
2:71 – Does Telling the Same Story Again Get Boring? #faithbites #faithjourney story Most of us like to hear a good story. Some like me, like to tell a good story. When you are on crutches or have an injury, you get asked the same questions, over and over again. How did it happen? What does it feel like? What […]
2:69 – Wash Me Clean #faithbites #faithjourney clean I don’t know about you, but I love a nice hot shower. I would take them several times a day if I could. There is something about that warm water flowing over me, releasing tension, and making me clean. Today during worship, I had one of those experiences. We we’re singing about […]
2:67 – Instant Family #faithbites #faithjourney instant At our house, Friday night, is movie night. Tonight’s selection was Instant Family. It’s about a couple who decide to adopt kids.

2:61 – Hypocrisy Is Real #faithbites #faithjourney hypocrisy I’m far from perfect. I’ve said thing I regret and made generalizations that are just plain wrong. When I scroll through social media and see good Christian people sharing memes and photos that are the exact opposite of “What Would Jesus Do?”. This is hypocrisy even if it’s not meant. This is […]
2:60 – This FaithBite is The Same As All The Other Faithbites #faithbites #faithjourney faithbites When I accepted the challenge to share scripture, which eventually turned into faithbites, my wife asked me if I would have enough ideas to make it through the year. I told her of course I did. Flash forward over a year and while not two […]
2:59 – I Promise #faithbites #faithjourney promise On the way to work, I like to listen to music or podcasts to pass the time. Today I was listening to a Ska radio station on Amazon music and a song by Reel Big Fish came on that I thought sounded familiar but I couldn’t place it. Then I remembered what it […]

In the era of fake news being anything from things that are fake to those that don’t agree with your point of view, to people not believing in science, to any […]
2:44 – I’m Not Better (Or Worse) Than Anyone #faithbites #faithjourney better Being stuck at home, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on a variety of topics. Something that keeps coming up is the idea of a person being a better person than someone else. This “better” then turns into more worth and we are left with the […]
