Right Where I Belong

I read Chaplain Mike’s post yesterday afternoon (Get Small) with delight. I had just read that very passage from Tullian Tchividjian’s Glorious Ruin that morning. And it is something the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me for several days. To paraphrase the A Team’s Hannibal Smith, don’t you just love it when God’s planContinue reading “Right Where I Belong”

Pictures Of Fall

My favorite time of year is autumn. I love the colors, the smells, the crispness of the air. Recently my camera and I ventured out to enjoy a fall day in Oklahoma (with one picture from Louisville tucked in). Even if fall is not your favorite time of year, I hope you enjoy.

Announcing The iMonk Book Club

Put on your reading glasses, my fellow iMonks. We are introducing a book club here at the iMonastery. Chaplain Mike will be taking a very well-earned sabbatical during the month of November as he completes coursework toward his ordination in the Lutheran church. I considered spending the month pondering the question, “When will Cincinnati everContinue reading “Announcing The iMonk Book Club”

Saturday Ramblings 10.20.12

Greetings from the infirmary here at the iMonastery. Your Rambler has the crud once again. Allergies? Raging cold? Cooties? Who knows? I just know my nose is running more than a Kenyan preparing for the Olympics. My head feels like a brick smashed into it. Or at least like a brick itself. John Michael Talbot, whoContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 10.20.12”

Musical Stories

I became a Christian in 1973 in Centerville, Ohio. In case history is not your strong suit, this was the height of the Jesus People movement. And it was also one of the most tumultuous times our nation has ever experienced. Some wondered if we would make it another three years to our bicentennial. TheContinue reading “Musical Stories”

Saturday Ramblings 10.13.12

Greetings, iMonks, and welcome to the black-arm-band, I’m-in-mourning edition of Saturday Ramblings. After taking two games in San Francisco, the Cincinnati Reds returned home and promptly lost three straight to the godless Giants, thus ending what had been such a promising season. Is it better to have won the division and lost in the playoffsContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 10.13.12”

The State Of Christian Radio

I began working in radio the same year I became a follower of Jesus, 1973. I worked in educational radio, Christian radio, general market radio. I taught broadcast management for 15 years. I worked at the first FM commercial station to play all contemporary Christian music in the nation. We were the pioneers in manyContinue reading “The State Of Christian Radio”

Saturday Ramblings 10.6.12

Well, iMonks, the frost is on the pumpkin. Of all stupid sayings, that may be the leader of the pack. Yet it seems appropriate this weekend as much of the country is experiencing some very fall-like weather. Up in Maine, Ted and JoanieD may be telling us they’re experiencing winter-like weather, as they may haveContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 10.6.12”

Saturday Ramblings 9.29.12

Welcome to the state fair edition of Saturday Ramblings. Your rambler did his civic duty and attended the opening night of the Tulsa State Fair (I still haven’t figured that one out, as Tulsa has yet to become a state) on Thursday. I did not, however, indulge in any deep fried treats or eat anythingContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.29.12”

Creation Wars: Remix

I wonder if, at times, the Lord would like to rethink the creation story. I wonder if he wants a chance to rewrite how the whole thing began. “Look,” says the LORD God, “it went like this. It was kind of boring to just sit around and stare at nothing. So in the year 4004Continue reading “Creation Wars: Remix”
