Engaging God through the Scriptures

Date June 9, 2008

It’s Monday morning, do you recall what you heard at church on Sunday?
I’ve been inspired by many great speakers and preachers, but I wonder how often we really engage God through the Scriptures during our church gatherings?
I’m sure I’ve heard Scripture, at least audibly, in every church that I’ve attended, but I wonder how often [...]

Unhinged…

Date June 6, 2008

In addition to the current content on this blog, I’m hoping to introduce random reflections of people I know, as well as pastoral letters to people in my community.
They’re my words, but not exactly my life situation (Though I do believe in a common human experience we’re all connected by anyways). For [...]

21 grams…

Date June 5, 2008

They say we all lose 21 grams… at the exact moment of our death.
Everyone.
And how much fits into 21 grams? How much is lost?
When do we lose 21 grams? How much goes with them? How much is gained? How much is gained?
Twenty-one grams.
The weight of a stack of five nickels.
The weight of a hummingbird.
A chocolate [...]

Give it up Hillary…

Date June 4, 2008

A great photo of the Obamas watching Clinton’s speech.
What must be going through their minds?
I can’t believe she’s not conceding nor suspending her campaign.
Is she making her case for VP?
Is she putting an asterisk on the nomination to set her up for 2012?
Is she trying to transition her supporters to Obama in some odd way?
I [...]

I’m a parent too…

Date June 3, 2008

btw, just a side rant. Why do Mom’s have the market on parenting? Going through parenting websites and flipping through parenting books, it’s always assumed that I’m a woman.
I get email updates from baby center, after registering that I was male, telling me about what’s going on with your breasts, or how to [...]

Be the church…

Date June 2, 2008

Our faith community has rebranded our no-church-sundays to Be-the-Church-Sunday, which is closer to the heart of our intentions.
The Scriptures describe the church with living images - a body, a bride, a family, a living temple of living stones.  The church is not a building, nor is it simply a gathering within a building.  We can [...]
