*If you have not watched the final episode of LOST and don’t want to know how it ends, do not continue reading*
Overall, I believe LOST’s narrative narrowly survives the weaknesses of its unsolved mysteries. We are left with nagging questions, even after the bonus epilogue found on the season 6 DVD. But the most important [...]

“The mystery box… stays closed.” The LOST island had mystery boxes everywhere, and the island itself was a mystery box. Some of these boxes were torn open and examined, such as Dharma. Others were [...]

Having been an outspoken fan of LOST for the last few years, a good number of folks have asked me how I felt about the finale. My response has been that I feel great [...]

This is the first poem I’m written in a few years. It’s not very sophisticated, but I think it works. “On Distant Shores” is a phrase that teases my imagination. It conjures in my mind thoughts of Aslan’s Country in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. What lies beyond that shoreline? One day we shall [...]

From the very first episode LOST was a complex show. Amongst its many layers of story telling were themes related to religion such as faith, destiny, spirituality and sin. One of the great things about the show is that it did not shy away from these topics, but voiced opposing viewpoints directly through skillfully written [...]

Many of you are likely well aware of former coach John Wooden, who passed away just over a week ago. Wooden’s favorite poem was “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” by Thomas Gray. After hearing this referenced a few times I made a point of looking it up. It’s certainly worth a read. Here’s an [...]

The general assumption in our society is that atheists are those who have rational reasons for disbelief in God. Dr. James Spiegel challenges this assumption in his latest book, The Making of an Atheist: How Immorality Leads to Unbelief. As the title suggests, Spiegel attempts to show that the foundations of atheistic belief are comprised [...]

I recently became interested in studying deacon ministry, so I asked around about which books I should read. I was consistently given two titles: The New Testament Deacon by Strauch, and Ministries of Mercy: The Call of the Jericho Road by Timothy J. Keller. Strauch is typically recommended for his biblical exposition of the subject, [...]

His power and glory Evermore proclaim.
The carol ends on a note of proclamation, its fourth response to the gospel. As love was shown to [...]
