http://christiancognition.blogspot.com/2008/08/band-aid-on-broken-heart.html
Looking upward; Examining inward; Reflecting outward. By Mike Lee. A BAND AID ON A BROKEN HEART:. A 47-year old neighbor, Kim, died Monday after a years-long battle with cancer. She was one of those women who was always more concerned about others than she was about herself. In the throes of illness, she was concerned about Joshua’s well-being. When she would see us out jogging together, she would stop to ask how Joshua’s eyes were doing. Papa, why is Miss Kim in the box. Yeah, buddy, I am. After the fun...

http://christiancognition.blogspot.com/2015/02/patriots-redcoats-spies-by-robert-j-and.html
Looking upward; Examining inward; Reflecting outward. By Mike Lee. Patriots, Redcoats, and Spies", by Robert J. and Robert A. Skead (book review). When they rode in the woods they got caught by some spies. Their father told them to trust no one and that’s what they did. They rode off into the distance. When George Washington saw the kids he said to the guards to let them go and give them bread. LIKES: I liked that it was very kid friendly and it was very entertaining to read. It was good that my class ha...

Looking upward; Examining inward; Reflecting outward. By Mike Lee. DECISION MAKING AND THE WILL OF GOD:.

http://christiancognition.blogspot.com/2015/04/prayer-is-only-play.html
Looking upward; Examining inward; Reflecting outward. By Mike Lee. Prayer is Only Play. It seems that with regular frequency I'm seeing a disturbing trend regarding how people say they will "pray" for others. Maybe this observation is due to the prevalence of social media and email that opens access to others' thoughts. I will explain with an example that is an amalgamation of recent social media posts and emails received:. Prayers and thoughts sent! Prayers headed her way! So what's my beef? When discus...

CHRISTIAN COGNITION: HOW TO BE A SUPER-CHRISTIAN IN 8 SIMPLE STEPS:
http://christiancognition.blogspot.com/2007/02/how-to-be-super-christian-8-steps-of.html
Looking upward; Examining inward; Reflecting outward. By Mike Lee. HOW TO BE A SUPER-CHRISTIAN IN 8 SIMPLE STEPS:. 1) When you pray, you must pray with a voice that rises and falls in pitch, volume, or tone. An example is difficult in writing, but here's an attempt: "Ooohhhhhh (pitch slowly rises and falls) Lord, we." "Thaaaaannnk (pitch slowly rises and falls again) you." You get the idea; think of a wailing siren, but only more serene. Make sure you get one. It will help. 6) If you want to spice it up ...

CHRISTIAN COGNITION: "The Matheny Manifesto", by Mike Matheny, with Jerry B. Jenkins (book review)
http://christiancognition.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-matheny-manifesto-by-mike-matheny.html
Looking upward; Examining inward; Reflecting outward. By Mike Lee. The Matheny Manifesto", by Mike Matheny, with Jerry B. Jenkins (book review). More than that, however, I’m a baseball fan as there are so many aspects of the game I enjoy. Baseball is so much more than a sport of bat, ball, and glove. And Matheny models character that youngsters (and oldsters alike) would be good to emulate. DISLIKES: I fully recognize Matheny didn’t intend for this book to be about him. It’s about his phi...A husband of ...

Looking upward; Examining inward; Reflecting outward. By Mike Lee. Possible: A Blueprint for Changing How We Change the World", by Stephan Bauman (book review). Can we change the world? Is Bauman's question, and his goal is to convince us that we can. Unfortunately, Bauman fell short - way short - of achieving his goal with me. Bauman laid out 3 main points that he calls the "blueprint" for changing the world:. And you and I are ". Invited, by design, to join in. BECAUSE IT ISN'T THERE! Matt 28:19). ...

CHRISTIAN COGNITION: "Chasing the Woodstock Baby", by Steve Hagood (book review)
http://christiancognition.blogspot.com/2015/02/chasing-woodstock-baby-by-steve-hagood.html
Looking upward; Examining inward; Reflecting outward. By Mike Lee. Chasing the Woodstock Baby", by Steve Hagood (book review). Legend has it that one, two, or three babies were born during the 60's Woodstock concert, but none of those babies, now long grown (if they exist) have been identified. Identifying one of the Woodstock babies would require the sharp skills and diligent efforts of a trained investigator. What would Chase uncover? Would he find the baby? Would good prevail over evil? I smiled when ...

CHRISTIAN COGNITION: "Jesus, Continued", by J.D. Greear (book review)
http://christiancognition.blogspot.com/2015/02/jesus-continued-by-jd-greear-book-review.html
Looking upward; Examining inward; Reflecting outward. By Mike Lee. Jesus, Continued", by J.D. Greear (book review). Many authors have undertaken the difficult task of writing about the Holy Spirit. The "3rd" person of the Trinity can truly be difficult to understand, and I imagine He's an even more difficult Person to write about. I've read a few contemporary books on the Holy Spirit, including " Forgotten God. By Francis Chan. This one, " Jesus Continued". Because you can't really explain what Jesus did...
