Posted on March 19, 2017 by Chris Hambleton

Disclaimer: this isn’t a post about Raisin Bran (though it would taste wonderful this morning!), but about self-worth. It’s a subject that’s been bouncing around in the back of my mind for awhile, particularly recently. And honestly, the more I consider it, the more I … Continue reading →

Do the Next Thing

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Chris Hambleton

This has been one of those weeks where everything hit the proverbial fan. The highlight was getting into an accident on an icy hill that put my car into the shop, and then learning the damage would be far too costly … Continue reading →

Posted on December 5, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Dinosaurs. Since as far back as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with dinosaurs. What boy hasn’t been at one time or another? However, after watching Jurassic Park and thinking about what a real-life dinosaur experience would be like, I … Continue reading →

Perspectives, Love, and Liberty

Posted on November 8, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Rethinking the Rapture

Building Tru-Strength

Posted on July 26, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

The Lord of the Flood

Posted on July 5, 2016 by Chris Hambleton
