To my atheist readers and friends, the article below will come off a bit snarky, but I actually respect your skepticism and penned it the way I have to prompt dialogue, not insult your laudable aversion to blind faith. It seems to me that atheists (and others) can hold I am someone who has blind faith in fairy…

Proving There Is A God, Sodom Found (Maybe), and Scientists Reducing Faith
I saw three interesting articles on the Internet today. The first says there is no way to prove there is a God: “Why God Cannot Be Proven: A Star Trek Argument” Basically, it claims you can always posit that anything that seems supernatural is actually just a smarter alien using non-supernatural means that seem magical…
Doodling Acts 2
I lead my church’s tween/teen class, and I’ve been trying new approaches to keep the Bible studies interesting. The latest addition to my repertoire is personal erasable boards. Although they are for other purposes (that I may explain someday in another post), I allow the kids to doodle…and their team can get points for good…
Episode 1 – The Right Foundation
Introduction Welcome to the very first edition of Traditores Higher Frequency…but before we chat a bit about the the program and me… I’ve been listening to the Scorpions’ new album, “Return to Forever,” on my recent bicycle rides…and one of my favorite tunes off it is “We Built This House.” The chorus goes like this:…
Will You Pray for Shayne Leighton with Me?
I’ve just added Shayne Leighton to my prayer list. Will you add her to yours?

Human Fickleness
The fickleness of humans in two verses (Matt 21:9 & 27:22, English Standard Version)… And yet…there is nothing He is unwilling to forgive a repentant heart…
Hateful, Horrible, or…?
I had an interesting interaction with Penn Jillette this afternoon. Thoughts about our Twitter dialogue? Is he right, am I right, or are we both wrong? What the Psychic Showed Me – The New York Times I could only skim this it an d it still broke my heart. Hateful. http://t.co/Zzbi6NUOA3 — Penn Jillette (@pennjillette)…
Truth (Something to Consider)
I’ve developed some great friendships on Twitter. Wait! What does that say about me if I develop most of my friendships when limited to 140 characters or less?! 🙂 Either way, I’ve developed some great friendships on Twitter, and one of the folks I appreciate most is Jeffrey Guterman, whose Twitter profile describes him as…
Like a Trapped Moth
This is a post that I meant to write three weeks and a few days ago. Although the company I work for is great, conditions as of late have made me feel I have little control of my fate—that I am trapped by circumstances. I am sure I could have done certain things more effectively, but…
“Jesus loves me (but not you), this I know…” (Addendum)
Although I basically touched on this point a long time ago in “Jesus loves me (but not you), this I know…” (Part 1), as I was reading in Matthew, I was reminded that those who say that God only loves the saved have a hard time with this part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount:…
Happy Father’s Day (“Things My Father Said”)
For the Traditores Video of the Week… Okay…I know it’s more like the Traditores Video of Every-Few-Months. 🙂 And as a Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there…here is a great tune from one of my favorite bands: [youtube=https://youtu.be/0VNthEJlSdw&w=512&rel=0] By the way, at least some of the group became Christians. (They may all…
51 (“I’m Okay”)
As my day winds down and Augie, snuggling beside me, sings, “I’m okay”…I am reminded just how blessed I have been during my 51 years. And just how blessed I still am. On this birthday, I am not as thoughtful as some. 2015 has provided some fairly high levels of stress, and that continues in…
The Gospel According to Colt Ford
Introduction During this second opportunity…I should say blessing…the Lord has given me to stand in this pulpit, I am going to do something I am famous…or infamous :-)…for doing at the church in Antrim, New Hampshire I pastored. I am going to preach a sermon based on a popular song. Now, don’t get me wrong,…
Less than One Week (Praise God)
This posts appears on two of my blogs, Strasburg.Rocks and Traditores. It will seem a bit odd on the former…but it speaks to the intersection of both in the form of the purchase of property in the friendly, small town of Strasburg, Colorado. Although I am continually thankful to the Lord, I hesitate to make certain…
