I had been wanderingContinue reading “Another Look: Now in Another Wilderness”

Preaching Grace Is A Risky Business

Your Rambler has returned from his trip to the desert with his allergies intact. I had a great time getting to meet with some iMonks including Richard and his wife and family (hope you had a good birthday, Gail), and Jim from the Great White North who had maybe the coolest Cincinnati Reds hat I’veContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 4.2.11”
