It wasn't so long ago that I thought home school families and children were a little weird. I, not unlike many other people, thought that if you home school a child, you are isolating them from most of t

Thousands of Christian churches throughout the United States offer Holy Communion to their congregations every week.

Any wonder why this woman, Oprah, supports and cheerleads for Barack Hussein Obama? Obviously she is extremely confused and is just another new age propaganda artist like the man she supports for President of the United States of America.    Another Marxist, loser who benefits from the fruit of America and its citizens. 

You know that life is tough when you have to make a decision and the inner battle turns your gut. My son is a great athlete and would like to play High School Football, but our kids are home schooled.

“I never really hated a one true God/but the god of the people I hated”- Marilyn MansonThere are so many concepts of God out there that it gets muddled sometimes. I think two things are true:1. The fact that the entire human race is obsessed with the spiritual and divine (even if only to disprov

At my age I get asked frequently where I’m going, what my plans are, and what I want out of life. I admit, at my age it’s a good way to make small talk, because I do it to my peers just as well. We are all expected to have goals and plans. My response to these questions is often centered on the answers you’d expect

There is a story that goes along with my book. I had a vision in my mind of what I wanted the cover to look like, but I couldn't find it in the stores. So, I found the perfect cloth at the mission in San Lucas, it was woven by one of the local women. I was told about a local leather craftsman by the name of Santiago.

Blame Thom G for this post. I'm like that patch of crab grass, which if you give an inch it takes a yard. Plus, today is the 27th. So, really it was unavoidable.I think most folks are following along over at the Surface Tension, but in c

Christians do not believe in condemning or judging people. However, we are not to be fools and agree with things that are not morally right. We are to love the sinner and hate the sin, including sin in ourselves. We are also required to pray for others.

Do the same-sex weddings that are happening around California this week threaten the survival of Western civilization? One author thinks they do. From Christian Newswire: In his new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to Western Civilization, author Anthony Esolen writes...

I wrote an email to an old friend of mine the other day. In his response, among the other things he brought up (including how he and I are the only one's we know who aren't married, dating, or almost married) he brought up a set of short films by Rob Bell and Nooma. Please check out www.nooma.com to see their site.

Liberty Christian High School's Brooke Downs shut down the NorCal Gold of Antioch as Redding's NorCal Stampede 18 Gold softball team won 7-1 to wrap up a 4-1 run over the weekend at the RR Gold Showcase of Talent in Stockton.

We had a blast over Memorial Day Weekend. We were hired to go to the Sacramento Fair at the Cal Expo and photograph an upcoming Christian Artist Chris Headley as well as Big Daddy Weave. It was such a blast and as you can see our kids had a great time too :). Big Daddy Weave [...]

Liz and I will be away from the next week on a pre-ordination retreat. The diocese is sending us away to Lake Tahoe for a spiritual retreat prior to ordination. We leave tomorrow and will spend all week at:

A judge's decision earlier this week to release a child molestation suspect before he posted bail has Shasta County's top prosecutor and the suspect's defense attorney telling very different stories about where the suspect is and what he's doing.

Many of you might of heard of the recent court decision in California upholding the right for Homosexual marriages. Following is Beautiful Guidance from Bishop Vigneron of Oakland regarding this issue:

Thursday's Northern Section Division VI baseball championship dripped with so much cheese, not even the Hallmark Channel will pick up the movie rights.

Getting out of a bases-loaded first-inning jam gave the Big Valley High School softball team the confidence it needed. It took the air out of Redding Christian's sails in the process.

This past weekend, Liz, the kids, a few of the kid's friends, and I ventured off to Great America for a weekend full of fun, riding rides and attending a Christian Rock Concert. Mackenzie (my daughter) and Elyse sing

There has been considerable progress in equality. Who could have imagined that an African American candidate who got his political start in the ghettos of Chicago could be accused of elitism and being simultaneously a Muslim and a Christian Liberation Theology firebrand?

There were two stories at the Liberty Christian at Bishop Quinn softball game Tuesday.

Vaughn Cartwright was named Thursday as the coach to lead the Liberty Christian High School football program back into existence.

Brooke Downs struck out 15 Monday as the Liberty Christian High School softball team handled Maxwell 12-3.

Friday's editorial states that a Baptist church group pickets veterans' funerals (protesting the war) and they must be atheists. The jails are chock-full of so-called "good Christians," not atheists. This writer is on the staff of our only newspaper with this twisted sense of reasoning. That is mind-boggling.

Oy, we got letters. Last night: Dear editor, Haven’t we gotten past this. In your editorial of April 11, you begin with “They can't be real Christians. They must be part of an atheist cabal.” Think about that. Would you...

They can't be real Christians. They must be part of an atheist cabal.

2-3 months or so ago we started "SPORTS NIGHT" in our parish hall. So every Thursday afternoon at 5:00 pm a tear down crew lead by Tim and Cindy put the 5000 tables and chairs away and turn the hall into a gym.

Liberty Christian High School will play football this fall for the first time since 1979.

I don't normally read Mark Morford in the SF Chronicle. He's too cynical even for me, which is saying something, and his attacks on Christianity, many of which are not undeserved, are tedious. He's rewitten the anti-Christian column about 4,723 times now. Yeah, I get it: there are a lot of nutjobs out there pushing t
