Jesus Movement Photo – Calvary Chapel 1970

August 24, 2011

Here is an early 1970 photo of me with a bunch of new Christians.  This was after a Calvary Chapel service, in some one’s backyard in Costa Mesa, California.  We just had a big picnic, and someone took a photo of the bunch of us.  That’s me in the back!

Japan’s Catastrophe is a Call to Believers

March 26, 2011

I have seen a You Tube video of a so-called Christian saying that God was judging Japan by virtue of the earthquke, tidal-wave and now the radiation.  I don’t think so.  We live on a fallen planet, and “all creation waits for redemption” (as the Bible says).  The “rain falls on the just and unjust alike”.  What the Japanese people are going through are very trying times, and ever single Christian should step up to the plate and do what Chrisians are supposed to do : help – including prayers, donations, etc.

Viewed Shroud of Turin on May 6!

May 21, 2010

Marie and I had the awesome opportunity to view the famoud Shroud of Turin in person, in Turin Italy, on May 6.

We arrived in the afternoon, and our viewing (by appt) was at 4:45 PM. It took us about an hour to get through the line, which was composed of thousands of people from all over the world (see photos below).

I can’t tell you how breath-taking it was to be standing right in front of the cloth that might have covered Jesus’ body after His crucifiction. It was truly amazing. The image is ever so slight, but you can see clearly…

- the image of tortured and crucified Man
- the scourge marks all over the body, front and back
- the marks of the thorns
- the evidence of blood on the side
- nail marks in the wrists
- nail marks in the feet

I believe G-d has preserved this artifact in the last days to give us yet another piece of evidence that He truly lived, and truly gave His life for us so that we might be made right with G-D for all those who believe and receive Him into their hearts.

Alice in Wonderland – Worth Seeing

March 17, 2010

I took some time off last wek to see the new Tim Burton production of Alice in Wonderland, and indeed it was time well spent.  The movie is available in 3D, and is a delight to the eyes.  The story is based on the original tale, but has a teen-age Alice going back to visit Wonderland at a later time in her life. 

Through the adventure, Alice realizes that life is a gift, and that she must take charge of what she’s been given, rather than allow people to boss her and order her around.

She goes through a sort of transformation in the process, and come to see how she really does have ‘the right stuff’ to stand up for her self,  sieze the day and make the most of what she’s been given. 

All in all, a good tale, a delight for the senses, and an inspiring message.  Well done Tim.
