Have you ever watched The Dog Whisperer ? It’s a facinating show! A family has a dog who doesn’t listen and acts up. In many cases the dog is the "boss" of the house. Then Ceasar Millan comes in and is able to connect with the dog, deal with the dog’s issues, explain to the owners what they’re doing right and wrong, walk them all through a time of rehabilitation and leaves the family (dog included) in a greater state of growth than before he came. It’s amazing to watch. It causes me to think about times past with my own dogs.

Are You Too Busy For God?
5 Simple Steps For Drawing Closer to God in a Fast-Paced World

I talk to a lot of people about what they do to strengthen their relationships with God.  The response is usually the same:  they have the desire, but don’t have the time.  I’ve said this myself.  We’re all so busy and by the time work is over we may be too tired to engage in the Bible.  So, if things can’t be dropped from our schedules (like quit our jobs and move to a monestary) then we have to find some other option. Here are a couple of simple steps we can do to build a stronger relationship with God.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition

What does God have to do with the television show, Extreme Makeover Home Edition?  Have you ever watched an episode?  It’s addictive.  You take a deserving family that has a run down house and has experienced some kind of tragedy. 

What would God say to Batman?  With “The Dark Knight” setting movie records and stimulating conversation around the country and the world, I decided to publish this piece I wrote about eight years ago, but updated a few weeks ago. I also drew the picture below for visual “eye candy.” Let me know what you think.

What Would God Say to Batman?
By: Allen Paul Weaver III

I was there at your birth… Bruce. I watched you grow. I saw your fears as well as your strengths. I knew who your parents would be and gave you Alfred, knowing he would be loyal and supportive of you to the very end.

Do You Love Star Wars, but Love God More?

Dick Staub’s book is Outstanding!
Dick Staub introduces a new term into the Christian Lexicon, through his book, Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Masters. The term ‘Jedi Christian’, in my opinion, seeks to recapture the aspect of Christianity that has been lost among the masses of a Popular and increasingly Technological Culture - that of awe, power and mysticism. The term becomes a lens by which we can view the truths of our Christian walk, and those truths are a lens by which we can view the world of the Jedi - making correlations and distinctions between fact and fiction, fantasy and reality and ultimate issues of eternal weights and measures - the prime issue being illuminated through aspects of Jedi lore… that the life of a genuine follower of Jesus Christ should be filled with awe, power and love. Then it is even in the mundane that miracles take place on a daily basis and when we encounter those situations and circumstances beyond human control… it is through Christ that we are no longer powerless.
