Greetings, fellow iMonks. I’m getting up off of my sick bed to see what a mess has been made while I was gone. But it’s not too bad. You all pick up rather nicely after yourselves. And I see the substitute teacher (aka Synonymous Rambler) actually made you do some classwork. Impressive. And you allContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.22.12”

Saturday Ramblings 9.15.12
Good Saturday morning, fellow iMonks. Welcome to the Slim Pickens edition of Saturday Ramblings. No, we are not going to go bronco on an H-bomb. There just hasn’t been that much news to report this week. But we do have birthdays to celebrate, and a bonus video to watch, so we’ll have to fill inContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.15.12”
Bible Reading Ideas
This morning I asked you if you read the Bible on a regular basis. Your comments have been honest, frank and refreshing. They have also, to own the truth, been a bit discouraging. I believe reading Scripture is valuable as we walk darkly in this world. Perhaps it is a dark walk because our eyesContinue reading “Bible Reading Ideas”
The Bible Tells Me So
On a hot Saturday afternoon in August, 1973, I attended an outdoor music festival at a Baptist church in Centerville, Ohio. My experience was similar to one C.S. Lewis commented on. When I went there, I wasn’t a Christian. When I went home, I was. My life was changed forever that day. I had begunContinue reading “The Bible Tells Me So”
Saturday Ramblings 9.8.12
Good morning, iMonks. How is the weather where you are? Here in the flyover state I call home, it has cooled down from the 100s to the low 80s. Break out the mittens and scarves. Put another log on the fire (and tell me why it is you’re leaving me). And while we’re at it,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.8.12”
The Giant David Could Not Kill
We heard earlier this week from guest poster Matthew Redmond on why he is not excited about church. Oh how I echo his feelings. I have been in church, involved in church, serving the church, working for the church, sweeping up after the church for going on 40 years now. I’ve been in the back-roomContinue reading “The Giant David Could Not Kill”
Another Look: The Art Of Doing Nothing
In light of what Chaplain Mike, et al, shared last week about slowing down, I thought we could take another look at this post from 2011. Or maybe it was just that this post talks of snow and it’s 105 here in Oklahoma right now. Or maybe the pictures from Calvin and Hobbes caught myContinue reading “Another Look: The Art Of Doing Nothing”
Saturday Ramblings 9.1.12
Hut-Hut! It’s time for football, fellow iMonks. We are fielding a team from the iMonastery for the first time this year, captained by Chaplain “Red Grange” Mike as our quarterback. But we’re still looking for a nickname. Any suggestions? The Fighting Spencers? The Lucky Luthers? Why not the Mighty Ramblers? As you ponder this greatContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.1.12”
Another Look: Walking On The Moon
Yesterday we lost one of my greatest heroes. Neil Armstrong died at the age of 82 in Cincinnati. There are many things I could say about Armstrong (he owned a farm in my hometown of Lebanon, Ohio, so I have heard many stories from those who knew him there), but I think this essay IContinue reading “Another Look: Walking On The Moon”
Saturday Ramblings 8.25.12
Can it be? Is it really the last Saturday in August? Where has the year gone? I was in a store this week where I saw—really, I am not making this up—Christmas decorations. And we’re not even out of hurricane season yet. Sigh … I say it’s not truly the Christmas season until the firstContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.25.12”
