Eat This – Not That

About 20 years ago, there was a column that appeared in Men’s Health magazine by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding, entitled, “Eat This – Not That!” The idea was to highlight healthier options for eating, especially when dining at restaurants: choosing foods that were lower in calories and saturated fats, higher in fiber and protein. This concept eventually became a best-selling book, as well as a website, and more....

The Triumphs of His Grace

Suppose you are someone who is concerned with people who don’t know about God, and you want them to experience God in a real and personal way. How do you communicate that? Preachers may do that with their sermons. Authors will do it through the articles they write. Others may choose to demonstrate it by the way that they live or the love that they show....

The Big Seven-Oh

From time to time, all of us have significant days – days when we realize that things have changed, that our lives are going to be different. Occasions when we pause to take stock of who we are, and moments that make us think about things that we are too busy to consider at other times – events such as the birth of a baby, the death of a loved one, a wedding, a graduation, or a child leaving home....

Magical Movie Moments

I love movies. I think most of us enjoy a well-told story, and when a movie gets it right, it can do an amazing job of telling the tale. And I watch a lot of movies – especially films made from the mid-1930s up through the 70s and 80s. But as much as I love watching them at home, there’s something even more wonderful about watching a good movie in a great theater with a large crowd – the collective laughs, the shocked gasps, the shared moments – that add to the enjoyment and experience of good cinematic storytelling....

Paw-Paw and Me

James Archie McMillan was born in 1912 in Hardin County, Texas – deep in the Big Thicket country of Southeast Texas. He was the youngest of five boys born to James Duncan and Mary McMillan. Most people called him Arch or Archie. I called him Paw-Paw. He was my mother’s dad, and his influence on my life continues to this day....

A Face Like Flint

The phrase “to set one’s face” is found several times in the Old Testament, and every time it occurs. it means to be determined to do a certain thing, regardless of circumstances or opposition. In each case, the phrase carries an affirmation not to be distracted or discouraged, but to accomplish the intended purpose. When Jacob and his family left his father-in-law Laban’s estate, the literal Hebrew text says that Jacob “set his face” to go to Mount Gilead (Gen....
