Daily Devotional
When I began my walk of faith 39 years ago, I armed myself with two essential—or what I thought were essential—tools: my King James Bible, and Mountain Trailways For Youth devotional. I read each faithfully each day. Wasn’t that what Christians were supposed to do? I was told we were. So I did. Today IContinue reading “Daily Devotional”
Saturday Ramblings 8.18.12
Welcome to the very tired edition of Saturday Ramblings, the time of week when we sweep up after ourselves here at the iMonastery. Why am I so tired? Well, I’ve been working a new job, one that doesn’t see me to my humble abode until after ten each night. But more than that, this hasContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.18.12”
IM Review: The Voice
In my fair city, Tulsa, Oklahoma, we see two types of buildings pop up with regularity: banks and churches. With each announcement of a new bank or a new church, we ask ourselves, “Do we really need another bank/church in Tulsa?” Yet it seems we do, for new ones are announced almost weekly. And soContinue reading “IM Review: The Voice”
The Barton Lies
David Barton is a Texan, and we know everything is larger in Texas. Even lies are bigger in Texas. Take Barton’s latest book, The Jefferson Lies. There are lies aplenty in this work, so many in fact that the publisher, Thomas Nelson, made the very rare move last week to pull all copies of theContinue reading “The Barton Lies”
Saturday Ramblings 8.11.12
Good Saturday morning, iMonks! It has been a relatively quiet week here at the iMonastery. Still, we make a mess throughout the week, not putting things away or washing the dishes or refilling the cookie jar. That’s what Saturdays are for. It’s the day we clean up and catch up. Part of that includes grabbingContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.11.12”
Saturday Ramblings 8.4.12
Welcome to the sweltering edition of Saturday Ramblings. The only place hotter than Tulsa (our fair city), Oklahoma on Wednesday was Saudi Arabia. And when the Rambler’s AC broke on Thursday, well, things in the iMonastery got pretty hot. So along with the heat, what else has been going on this week? Oh, nothing much.Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.4.12”
Splendid Isolation
Don’t want to wake up with no one beside me Don’t want to take up with nobody new Don’t want nobody coming by without calling first Don’t want nothing to do with you Splendid Isolation I don’t need no one Splendid Isolation Warren Zevon, Splendid Isolation, from the album Transverse City I have shared beforeContinue reading “Splendid Isolation”
Saturday Ramblings 7.28.12
Welcome to the Opening Ceremonies version of Saturday Ramblings. Sorry, we don’t have Mary Poppins or Mr. Bean, but, well, I have been to England. Does that count? And I like British humor. I know what bangers and mash are, but still haven’t figured out why I would want to eat anything called “blood pudding.”Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.28.12”
What Does It Take To Be A Christian?
I spent quite a bit of time on Tuesday reading Daniel Jepsen’s post on the genesis of Genesis. And while I agree with Jepsen’s conclusions, I’m aware there are many others who may not buy into all—or any—of what he says about the intended purpose of Genesis. Which got me to thinking: Can a personContinue reading “What Does It Take To Be A Christian?”
