Women in the Bible
Yesterday we told you about a Women’s History Month event here on Kauai. We have also periodically hosted women’s events here at Makanalani. This made use wonder about women in the Bible.

More on the Animals from Job
In our discussion of animals in the Bible, we come now to one of our favorite passages, Job 39. It’s a favorite because it shows such profound insight into the nature of the various beasts. We particularly love the section about the war horse, who glories in his task, unafraid, faithful, & reliable. We seek […]

New Year’s Resolutions
As we embark on the new year we are often encouraged to make resolutions. Plans, perhaps, to be better people, to do good for ourselves, our families & our communities. Of course, as everyone knows, new year’s resolutions are seldom met… Thousands of comedians make their living because of this simple fact of human nature. […]
