Summer Sounds from CM: Dave
Summer would not be summer for my kids without one word: Dave. Oh yeah, and I love Dave and his band too. Dave Matthews Band concerts are an annual rite of summer for them and for many around the country, as throngs turn out to hear amazing live music. DMB is a group that defiesContinue reading “Summer Sounds from CM: Dave”
As Long as We Approach the Bible This Way, We’re in Trouble
I will confess: I have been away from this kind of thinking for quite awhile now, so whenever I hear a clear example of it, I am almost shocked at how silly it sounds to me at this point in my journey. I saw a post recently by Pastor/Evangelist Greg Laurie with this title: WhereContinue reading “As Long as We Approach the Bible This Way, We’re in Trouble”
On Charles Williams
O Champion General, we your City ascribe to you the victory in gratitude for being rescued from calamity, O Theotokos. But since you have invincible power, free us from all kinds of perils so that we may cry out to you: Rejoice, O Bride unwedded!

How Not To Be A Disciple
A couple of weeks ago, I read a post on my nephew’s blog that made me rear up and do my best Church Lady impression. It wasn’t what my nephew said, it was the post he linked to that stoked my ire. And boy, did my ire get stoked, to the point where my nephew asked toContinue reading “How Not To Be A Disciple”
A “Good” Samaritan?
What if I were to stand here this morning, after reading what may be Jesus’ most well known parable, and say, “Jesus does not really want us to be ‘good Samaritans’?” What if I were to tell you that is not exactly the point of his famous story? What if I were to say thatContinue reading “A “Good” Samaritan?”
The Homily
Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in YourContinue reading “The Homily”

Summer Sounds from CM: Pickin’ and Grinnin’
Bluegrass and acoustic music of all kinds is a big part of summer. There are many great classic bluegrass groups and artists, but I’ll focus on the current generation today. My wife knows all about it, so it’s safe for me to confess: I’ve been in love with Alison Krauss for years. And though IContinue reading “Summer Sounds from CM: Pickin’ and Grinnin’”
