Parchment & Pen Blog

For those that don’t know, I have been widowed almost 5 years, since August 2004. Due to the nature of the relationship with my late husband and his chronic illness for 5 years before he passed, it feels like I have been without a husband for much longer than 5 years. While I do desire [...]

Just think in a few weeks I will be saying that to the patrons of Credo House. Last call … for coffee that is. For now though it is last call for the apologetics special we have been running. It ends this weekend! The Apologetics Program (Special Ends Friday… no Sunday!) Three new courses on [...]

It is not quite done, but close enough to post this. Click here to view the video on YouTube. With the opening of the Credo House, we have taken a considerable step in the life and history of our ministry. As well, with this comes great opportunity to join with us in our mission to [...]

We are looking at what is God? Not who is God? or what has God done? We are looking at what his essential nature must be in order to qualify for the title. One thing I am going to do throughout this series is something that many of you might be very uncomfortable with. You [...]

I don’t know about you, but over the last few years I have had some bad experiences with Christians in the business world. This may get me in hot water, but I have come to the point where I would rather do business with unbelievers than with believers. I have been burned one too many [...]

Not much, just that it is keeping me from writting any blogs as we are finishing things up. I don’t think I have ever been so busy and so tired before. But we are having fun. We should pick up on the blog in the next couple of weeks. Oh, also, if you want, stop [...]

I came across this article in Christianity Today on ending homelessness in 10 years.  I mused considering that for the past several years, this is the professional field I have been involved in.  In fact, in my position back in Rhode Island, I was responsible for managing one of the U.S Department of Housing and [...]

In this series of posts I am going to write about God. “Wow! That is revolutionary for a theology blog: thanks for being so specific, Michael!” Slow down, you are already wearing me out. We are going to talk about God, but I want to focus on something that I believe is the most neglected [...]

Do any of you know where to get very large pictures, either in print or electronic of these two pictures? We are trying to have large sizes of them made for the Credo House and no matter what I do in Photoshop, I can’t get them to look good blown up to a very large [...]

Now open for business. Check out the grand opening special.
