A New Year Bringing Hope and New Mercies
Do you make New Year’s resolutions? For me, it is a time of “new beginnings.” My wife and kids all know this about me; I analyze the past year, write or think out both the good and bad, and plan for the next 12 months.

The Lie of Anti-Culture
In our last couple articles, we examined two car commercials which both came out recently. Jaguar's ad was one of the most grotesque I've seen, but Volvo's was one of the most beautiful. Take a look at those last two articles for a detailed analysis of each ad, as well as my commentary on how dangerous it is to glorify the abnormal, and how refreshing it is to glorify the normal. After all, we all live in the "normal world" created by God.
