In Which I Post For CyberSermon 2.

A while back, while I was preparing a message for Crosspointe at Kent Covenant Church, I did an experiment where I asked for your thoughts. It was so much fun, I thought I’d do it again.

In Which I Married Someone Else Other Than My Wife.

I just found this in my Drafts section here on the ol’ blog. I thought I had posted this a long time ago, but apparently I didn’t. So I’m posting it now. I’m still totally legal to do weddings in Washington State, for life. The whole internet has ordained me. (When I did a wedding [...]

In Which I Post Something For The Google.

I am posting this here for one reason: I was unable to find anything about it online, so I called Charles Stanley’s organization, In Touch Ministries, and was told that it was not written by Charles Stanley and that it was “totally false” to claim that he had written it. Hopefully by putting it here, [...]

In Which I’m Done Being Polite.

Dear Friends and Family,
I am just done being polite.
Having been on the receiving end of an anthrax hoax the night before last, I’m going to take my gloves off for a minute and just speak my mind.
I know this will be long, but please take a few minutes to read it, and to give me [...]

In Which I Made A Barista Uncomfortable.

Yesterday, my dad, my two sisters, my sister-in-law and I walked into a Starbucks in Yakima. Barista says, “What brings you all in today?”
Sounds like the start to a great joke. But there’s no punchline.

In Which No One Got Dead At Church.

Peanut started preschool last Wednesday. The Wise One has been nannying for years and was always able to take him with her, but when she started her new job last month, he had to stay home with me.
We tried to get him into the preschool where Chester went, but we couldn’t until we knew what [...]

In Which I Finally Post About Rocks.

Life, illness, and just plain procrastination kept me from getting this up any sooner. I apologize to those who helped me with these thoughts, and hope you find this at least half as interesting and inspiring as I did.

In Which I Spoke of Rocks and Remembrance.

Saturday night went really well. I hope to have time tomorrow to type up my notes and post them here.
Thank you to everyone who participated in my experiment. I’m absolutely going to do it again.

In Which I Think About the Role of Government and the Failure of the Church.

I’ve been thinking a bit lately about my support for Obama and what that means in terms of being pro-life and all. This isn’t a post about abortion, but rather a few thoughts on Obama’s social policies and how that relates to our (the church, christians) role in helping others.
My friend Pat wrote a blog [...]

In Which I Want Your Thoughts and Comments.

I’m going to be preaching again on the 27th at our Saturday night service.
As part of my preparation, I want to try something new and start a conversation here, maybe get some input from the six people who regularly stop by.
Here’s the random brainstorm that I sent to our team; if you have any ideas, [...]
