Dinosaur in Dubai Mall

I'm guessing that no other mall in the world has a real dinosaur displayed.

Off the Beaten Path

Just wanted to share a few favorites in hope of you sharing a few of yours.

One of my favorite places in the world is Dubai. I've been there a dozen times already and always find it totally fascinating. An amazing city with lots to offer.

This CD I downloaded on my iPod and have listened to it for years. I have never tired of it because every song is so different from the next. A really nice mix with a sci-fi theme about Christians in the future. Check it out when you get an opportunity.

As far as books go (and they go far) this one is a fun read!

"Following Jesus' example of using story to communicate truth, Mark Shaw offers an introduction to Christian doctrine which draws on classic narratives to shed light on the Trinity, the attributes of God, . creation, providence, sin, redemption, and more."

So what are some of your favorite places, CD's and books?

Bye Bye to Dubai

Here I am trying to duplicate the Tom Cruise stunt at the Burj Khalifa.

My way of wishing you all a safe and merry Christmas!

Flying First Class

Yes, that's me at the wheel of my new Calvinistic Cartoonmobile. (it's worth the click to enlarge) Corky Velveeta brought this back from the future and gave it to me just in time for my Dubai trip. Who says a blogger doesn't get perks every once in a while. Thanks Corky! You da man!

The Dubai Initiative

Corky Velveeta and I traveled to Dubai to claim the Atlantis Hotel as our own. (Note the CC flag in the background.) We hope to set up another Calvinistic Cartoons base there. If we are successful we will have rooms for every blogger or blog reader to stay in, for free, when they visit. My space helmet was at the cleaners that day.

Time for me to say Farewell

Well, looks like it is time for me to go. I really hate to drop Calvinistic Cartoons but, for everything there is a season...and it's my season to vacation in Dubai. I will be leaving for Dubai on Saturday and returning the next Saturday, August 28. Until then, you will not even notice. I have everything pre-scheduled now until September 25, so enjoy a week of Just for Laughs. See you all when I get back!

Just Got Back from Dubai

My wife and I just got back from a mini-vacation in Dubai. I had no computer with me so I wasn't able to respond to any questions or comments. Came back refreshed and with some really good ideas for future posts. (I have all my CC pre-scheduled a month in advance) But FYI, feel free to post anything from my blog to yours!

A Testimony to God's Saving Grace

My B.C. years were pocked with sin and grief.
I did all I could to fulfill my carnal ambitions. Thinking I would always earn a living as a musician, I dropped out of high school to devote myself to sex, drugs and rock n' roll. Getting high was my top priority. I was jailed eventually, hospitalized, and committed to a mental institution because of my suicidal inclinations. When I was released, I continued pursuing the same activities. I did all I could to escape reality. I was running from myself...running from my past...and without knowing it at the time, running straight into the hands of God! I now realize the Lord was setting up all the roadblocks, detours, and dead-ends in my life, leading me through a seemingly hopeless maze into a direct confrontation with His Son, Jesus Christ! Hebrews 1:14 declares that God sends His angels to render service to "those who will inherit salvation." He was surely doing that in my tangled life. One night, while alone in my room, I could run no longer. I reached out to the Lord and cried in desperation for Him to save me from a life misspent. He heard my plea and miraculously and instantly transformed me. I will never be the same.
