Yewna didn’t mean to grab Ninombir’s hand. It was a reflex, something that just felt right. Nin didn’t show any signs of it being out of the ordinary. Inside his head, to put it lightly, he was freaking out. She grabbed my hand! Never in a million years would I think that one such as…
Ninombir had never been in an airship before. It was way more luxurious on the inside, at least for Ninombir’s mechanical tastes. He almost mentioned this to Yewna, but he knew what she’d say, “Wait until you see my father’s airship!” He’d heard the horror stories as a boy on daddy’s lap, airships from the…
Yewna awoke to a far-off yell. Her eyes gazed about the nooks of the cave. Then they beheld Ninombir resting in his chair across from her. Was this the dream? She thought. There were blankets around her, they tumbled off as she sat up. Her dress shimmered from forest green to the brilliant green of…
The noisy carriage crunched in the snow which made talking very difficult. They had both sensed something in that glance, like the lonely cry of a rent heart, a hope endured and finally met, a barren spring enclosed suddenly flowing with sweet water. They both felt this, yet, neither had the courage to express it.…
Ninombir stood upon the wooden ramparts of teetering tower at the peak of Snowcrest. He looked over the icy tundra and the mountains about them. His goggles were designed to search for any heat, this meant an approaching army or a mechanical monstrosity. The only heat was seen way down below. The keep he was…
In short… it’s a blast, highly recommended for those who understand music theory. For everyone else… it has a very steep learning curve. Here’s the skinny. I love video games and I love to play music. Harmonic’s Rock Band series blends the two together in a creative way. In their previous installments, music was placed…
The young lady almost ran. She seemed oblivious, and yet, a part of her knew they were always staring at her. Everywhere she went they gawked and gazed. But what did you expect from commoners when a Princess dashed into the room? She reached up to her curly braids as if to reassure her…
Let us conclude our study of Ephesians with a mandate on how to fight against these evil days. But first a recap: Ephesians 1-3 These chapters go over many things, very thick with theology. One of the more prominent themes is our predestined nature and inheritance in Christ. For example chapter 1: 11 In him…
Does God’s will mean that only good things happen? Does He still allow Satan an amount of power, a season of devilish activity? Is the book of Job for today? If God is sovereign and His will is what is… well, all you have to do is read some history books. He allows for evil…
In an earlier post I spoke on how the hyper grace movement creates apathy. They say: “Why should I do anything at all if Jesus does it all for me?” They take the concept of “rest in Him” to such an extreme that they do nothing and yet expect all their wishes to be granted…
I’ve covered how the bible views abuse by looking at Ephesians 4 (physical and verbal abuse) and Ephesians 5:1-21 (sexual abuse). All abuse is emotional abuse. Paul wrote about these things first before going over the ideal family unit. You can’t have an ideal family at all without first knowing what isn’t. But First a…
My previous post covered sexual abuse which went over Ephesians 5:1-21. This precedes the verses on how family members should relate to each other. This was on purpose. But, what about emotional, verbal, and physical abuse? Let’s examine the verses before chapter 5 and see what Paul says. Ephesians 4 I therefore, a prisoner for…
In light of Ravi Zacharias unsettling sin of sexual abuse to many all over the globe, I thought it right and true to explain the biblical response to this evil. Paul explains it best in Ephesians 5:1-21. Note that these verses are placed before verses on the family. So, they must be read before explaining…
Many have been shocked by what has recently come out concerning the late Ravi Zacharias. He was such a well-spoken and well-known apologist of God’s kingdom. Now, out of all the hard work he did for the Kingdom of God, he will be forever known as a sexual predator. So many victims across the world…
The expression of feeling and story is an important part of music in movies and life. Watch a breathtaking scene in a movie and odds are there’s a glorious soundtrack playing in the background. In a ritzy restaurant, the owners play smooth jazz, creating an atmosphere of delight and charm. How do composers achieve these…
