  • Sherlock Holmes – Movie Plug

    I don’t often plug movies on my blog (though I do discuss them from time to time).  We don’t have cable and can’t keep an antenna plugged in at my house (because my two year old would pull it down).  So, we watch a lot of movies.  It now takes a good bit for a…

  • On Seeing Members of My Former Denomination

    If you are a consistent reader of my blog, you may know a little of my background.  I grew up Roman Catholic. Long story short … I left the church a year after I started college.  I joined a Southern Baptist Church and soon after left a path that was going to lead me to…

  • Jeremy Thompson – Aviator

    Well, not really me. I spent some time with a friend who is also one of my youth leaders this morning. He’s trained to pilot small planes and he took me up. Awesome time (though I got a little woozy toward the end).

  • Fast with Joy and Gladness – An Old Testament Word on Fasting

    Since some of us are in Lent I though I’d share this passage I came across today in my reading.  Here is an Old Testament word on fasting from Zechariah 8: 18 The word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying: 19 Thus says the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth…

  • Video of Me Reading

    Okay so a friend asked myself and other youth folks in my area to make (semi-funny) videos for an upcoming conference of what we like to do in our spare time (other than blogging I guess).  Here’s mine (you have to be watching with annotations on to get the full effect): Okay maybe that’s not…

  • Second Lenten Reflection Posted

    My second Lenten reflection is up HERE.  You can read a bit more about them HERE.

  • Dissertation Update …

    For those of you who care … and even for those who don’t, I sent off my major chapters today.  Going to start on the Intro and Conclusion while the major chapters are being commented on.  And well, I guess that’s something … 😛

  • Boring Parts in the Bible, Let's Be Honest …

    Okay, I can’t be the only Christian who thinks parts of the Bible are boring, can I?  I’m listening through the Old Testament currently.  And, I thought I was going to slip into a coma this morning because I was listening to the beginning of the Book of Numbers.  I understand the whole “the Bible…

  • Lenten Reflections 2010

    Last night I started a series of Lenten Reflections in my church parish.  These are intended for lay people in my parish, so hopefully they are free from academic jargon.  If you are in a tradition that celebrates Lent, or even if you are not, you might want to give them a listen.  There will…

  • Dissertation Progress and …

    a few other family matters have filled my time this week.  I just finished up edits of Chapter 4 and Chapter 5.  Now, I’ll be writing the intro and conclusion while those are under review probably for a bit more editing. We had a “snow day” Friday, which for us means everything shuts down because…
