  • What came first?

    Updated Mar 20, 2008

    Which came first – the chicken or the egg? For the Bible-believing Christian this is an easy question to answer. God created chickens, who in turn laid eggs. A much more difficult question to answer is which comes first – the celebration of Easter or that day known as Tax Day, April 15? This is a more difficult question because every year the answer changes. Sometimes Easter comes first and sometimes Tax Day comes first. This year it’s not even a contest. Easter comes first by almost a month. Easter is March 23. This is the e...

  • It all started with a ripped bag

    Updated Mar 20, 2008

    I have a friend’s Christmas present still residing in the trunk of my car. Yes, I know it’s March. Yes, that makes me a really dysfunctional friend. It’s not that I didn’t buy it on time. It probably was one of the first gifts I bought. And, no, it isn’t because I never see her. The problem with the gift was that it never felt quite good enough to give her – I kept feeling like she deserved more than my budget allowed and somehow I would magically correct the shortage in a few paychecks. So as it waited for that something e...
