There is probably a screen in the middle of your living room. There has been a screen in the middle of American living rooms since the 1950s. Its presence rearranged furniture and changed the focus of the ones sitting in those chairs—no longer looking at one another, but pointed at that screen.

What made Zacchaeus climb the tree that day? Sure, he was short, but that’s still a lot to go through just to see someone. Yes, Jesus was developing a quasi-rock-star celebrity status—but tree climbing? It was so impulsive and so uncivilized. Others in the town had heard of Jesus. Many turned out—although doubtless some…

Super Coffee 'n Donuts
It’s Sunday morning – peaceful, relaxed, and calm, right? Wrong!

It’s easy to be negative.
