‘So Easy a Caveman Can Do It’

Off the charts with popularity, the Geico ad campaigns make everyone chuckle. My favorite is the caveman series, “So Easy a Caveman Can Do It.” Hebrew, one of the most ancient languages on the planet, is so easy a caveman can speak it. In fact, maybe they did. 

Knowing God’s Goodness

A very dear friend of mine lost her 12-year-old son in a fire a few years ago. It was heartwrenching, and we all mourned and grieved with the family. About three months after her son’s death, we were in Rome, Italy, for a prayer initiative with a group of people. One morning, we circled up…

Good-Bye Harvey Korman

  Honestly, I had not thought about Harvey Korman, of the Carol Burnett Show, for years until I read that he just died at age 81. I spent many happy hours at home watching the funny skits of the Carol Burnett Show on television.  The world was a simpler place then. This evening I watched a few of their…

Golda, Indira, and Margaret…

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and President Ronald Reagan History has produced a few outstanding and successful female leaders: Golda Meier, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher… to name a few. Great women have impacted the world. And the world has shown it is open to the defining leadership of females. 

Island Hopping

  Friends lifting the kiddush cup for the wine blessing… Last evening we enjoyed a beautiful Shabbat celebration and meal on a yacht. The weather was perfect… the company grand… the conversation stimulating… and the laughter raucous… It was a once in a lifetime experience. Actually, I am hoping it wasn’t. I am longing to…

The Fool

Dennis Prager… who is no fool… When I was a Bible school student at Christ for the Nations in Dallas some years ago, I had an Israeli friend who called herself an “atheist.” We had many long talks about “God,” “Jesus,” and the Bible. I will never forget once riding a ski lift in Winterpark, Colorado,…

William F. Buckley and the Jews

William F. Buckley Jr. once said, “In my own experience anti-Semitism is not a communicable disease.” John B. Judis in his biography William F. Buckley Jr.: Patron Saint of the Conservatives states that Buckley grew up with attitudes of Jewish hatred in his home. Later in life, Buckley learned that “anti-Semitism is not a communicable disease” through his own…

What Happened to that Little Girl?

Last evening, we ate dinner with a lovely Italian family from our church. I especially say Italian, because they are proud of their ethnicity; and I am fascinated by it as well. We have known them for many years. They have five bright children; and their parents, in their 80’s, live with them a few months…

Celebrating 1000 Hits on One Post!

  Today I am celebrating 1000 hits on one post! I started writing  my blog, Culture vs Content, last August. It is totally amazing to me that one particular post, written on September 20, 2007, has received a total of 1000 hits just today: Light as (is) Art. I kept noticing that it was getting quite a few hits…
