  • Psalm 72 – The King Worthy of Homage

    I wrote yesterday about how the lectionary obliterated a bit of beautiful imagery.  It doesn’t do a great job with today’s response either, which is the middle-latter portion of Psalm 72.  The focus of this part of the Psalm is upon the king who is worthy of homage and dominion in verses 8-11. Psalm 72:8-11…

  • My New Year's Resolutions – Reverse Psychology Style

    I never … ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever can remember keeping a New Year’s resolution.  So, this year I’m deciding to do it reverse psychology style.  Either one of two things will happen, maybe the reverse psychology will work, … or I’ll have finally come up with New Year’s resolutions I can keep.  So,…

  • Buttered Honey Syrup – Something to Try before you Die

    I was unsure whether to subtitle this post “Something to Try before you Die” or “Something to Try to Make you Die.”  Either way, this is very awesome.  I made some homemade French toast this morning and used a Southern Living recipe (if you could even call something so simple a “recipe”) for Buttered Honey…

  • In Case I Don't Get Another Chance to Say it …

    MERRY CHRISTMAS! Today begins a whirlwind of activity for me and my family.  My five-year-old is in a nativity this afternoon, then the visits begin.  One visit tonight and two tomorrow with a bit of driving in between.  So, I’m not sure how many more opportunities to wish you the best this Christmas.  Thanks for…

  • Anglican Priest's Wrong Choice of Words

    Jim West has posted his latest “excoriation” of the Anglican Priest who suggested that it was okay to “shoplift” if need required.  Jim states: I’m right firstly because there is NO biblical justification for theft.  None.  Not a passage nor a theologically undergirded interpretation of any passage permits theft. And, that is true, in terms…

  • Children's Hospital Christmas Party a Huge Success

    Had a great time today at the Children’s Hospital Christmas Party in Baton Rouge! We helped Santa hand out presents and helped serve food donated by the LA State Police. A lot of people worked very hard to put the event on, but I am especially greatful to Sandra Corley for inviting us. Our group…

  • My Favorite Event of the Year

    Today I will be a part of my favorite event of the year. Our youth group from Holy Ghost Catholic Church will be helping out with a Christmas party for a Children’s Hospital clinic in Baton Rouge. I’ll try to post some pics later. But, I won’t be blogging much today.

  • Daniel McClellan on Religion, War and Peace

    If you have ever heard Judaism, Christianity, and Isalm, vilified and described as a primary catalyst of war in both the history of the world and more modern times, be sure to check out Daniel McClellan’s most recent post entitled “St. Francis of Assisi and the Crusades.”  The topic of religion is fresh in my…

  • Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock App Could be Life-Changing

    I was a bit surprised when my former college roommate told me that there was an app for the iPhone that  would be worth the price of the phone even if it was the only app available.  He proceeded to tell me about the Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock app (developer site HERE).  Now a bit…

  • Just Jinjer "What He Means" – More God in Music

    While I’m at it, I heard this song on the radio the other day.  A lot God talk.  I think people will resonate with most of it, except some perhaps might not like the “more tolerance” (because the the band may be using a different definition of the word “tolerance” than you prefer … very…
