Fly Fishing Nor Cal
I specialize in fly fishing from a drift boat on the Lower Sacramento or wading the Upper Sacramento RiverNorthern California has some of the best fly fishing in the United States without the crowds that many of the rivers in Montana, Colorado, and Alaska attract. With year-round fisheries for trout, steelhead, striper, and more, it’s hard to imagine a better location for those who love fly fishing!

Six Reasons Why I Believe Jesus Will Reign on Earth for 1,000 Years!
When it comes to eschatology (the study of end times), I really want to be Amillennial. So much of that position attracts me and I think I would pretty much agree with all that it states... except for the idea that there will not be a literal 1,000 year reign of...
Fallacy Fridays: Misuse of Subsequent Meaning

I Am a Repeat Customer!
For the past five years I've had my hair cut at one business, primarily by one lady. Prior to that, my hair was cut by just about everyone. Seriously - I had friends do it, my wife tried to once, and random barbers and ladies at the mall salons all trimmed my mullet....
Small Group Dynamic: “Shut Your Mouth and Stop Talking!”
In my experience, the most consistent problem in most small groups has to do with one person doing all the talking. And many times this problem goes unchecked or the person who does all the talking repeatedly ignores the "small group rules" or warnings or other...
Thinking about Community Size: Rural and Small Town
What is a "rural church"? What does "small town U.S.A." look like? I'm honestly perplexed by some of the definitions that are floating around out there on this subject and I think a great deal of people who use the term "rural America" or "small town" need to...
Robert Culver on the Virgin Birth in the Ancient Church
"With regard to the conception, the Old Roman Creed, of very great antiquity, says He ‘was born of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary.’ The Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (AD 325, 381) says He ‘was made flesh of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man.’...
Fallacy Fridays: The Root Fallacy
Grant Osborne writes, "The root fallacy, a common error, assumes that the root of a term and its cognates carries a basic meaning that is reflected in every subordinate use of the word(s)." (The Hermeneutical Spiral, 84-85) I want to flesh out that definition a bit by...
