Hey, Remember the Lite-Brite?

I used to have a Lite-Brite. I loved that thing. It's one of those toys that inspired a creative spark in my childhood. Though, if I were to be completely honest, I was never all that creative with it. They sold all those pages with designs printed on them. They were those thick pieces of … Continue reading Hey, Remember the Lite-Brite?

7 Types of Friends and How to Identify Them

Once upon a time, I had writer's block. Well, blog writer's block, anyway. So, as is sometimes the case, I put the call out on social media for topical ideas. I got one response from a Facebook friend asking, "What constitutes a true Christian friend?" I'll be honest, that's deep. It's deeper than I had … Continue reading 7 Types of Friends and How to Identify Them
