The Joys of Living in a Rural Area

Today as I neared the church & my office, four wild turkeys crossed the road ahead of me.  The first was a very nice tom, sporting a nice beard which I could see blowing in the wind.  The others were smaller and I captured the final two crossing with my cell phone.  Below is the [...]

Dr.Bob Kellemen’s Conversation with Brian McLaren’s “A New Kind of Christianity”

I first pointed you to the beginning of Dr. Bob Kellemen’s conversation with Brian McLaren, and his book A New Kind of Christianity, with this post.  At that point the conversation was only beginning.  Now Dr. Kellemen has blogged completely through McLaren’s book, answering in conversational tone, many of the questions raised.  I encourage you [...]

Anticipating Worship – Ps.84

Sunday morning rolls around, the alarm clock buzzes irritatingly, and it’s time to rise and prepare for another day of worship with family & friends.  What is your state of mind?  (once the cobwebs clear…and maybe after that first cup of coffee?)  Are you beginning to prepare your heart for the worship that lies ahead?  [...]

Real March Madness: My Pix

I am at best a nominal fan of college basketball.  My sport is pro football…and if I had my druthers, I’d have the camera only focus on the scrimmage line.  I am in awe of the hitting, the pure mass of muscular motivation and the grind it out attitude play after play.  So, college basketball [...]

One in six boys are sexually abused before age 18. One in three girls are sexually abused before age 18. It is time that the Church break the silence of sexual abuse.  It does happen in our homes and churches.  Refusing to “speak of the elephant in the room” is only continuing the damage done [...]

7.5 miles in 2.25 hours. I’m beat

Really pushed it today.  The weather was so nice though, I thought I’d take advantage of it.  7.5 miles later, my legs are screaming, by feet are killing me and my back is fussing a bit too.  I’m determined to get my back muscles back in shape after surgery on 9.23.09.  (spinal fusion)  Perhaps I [...]
