Welcome to a somber and shortened version of Saturday Ramblings. As of this writing on Friday night, the death toll in the Aurora, Colorado shootings stands at 12, with more than 50 wounded. This just doesn’t seem to me to be a good day to poke fun at Joel Osteen, Ed Young Jr., or anyContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.21.12”

Just A Thought
I have been reading through the book of Job lately. You know the story. Job suffers the loss of his wealth, his source of income, and most of all, his family. Then he’s visited by some friends who, if you read their words carefully, speak words that would not be out of place in mostContinue reading “Just A Thought”
Saturday Ramblings 7.14.12
I am old enough (and I turn yet another year older on Tuesday) to remember getting up on Saturday mornings and staying glued to the TV from 8 in the morning until 11, watching the Looney Tunes cartoons. Bugs, Daffy, the Road Runner … all my favorites gathered into one nice, long program. Only afterContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.14.12”
The Forgotten Character
This morning we looked at the most popular author residing on Christian bookstore shelves, the handsome, polished, smiling and totally spineless Gilderoy Lockhart. Lockhart writes under many different names and on myriad topics. But one topic, or rather one person, is seldom if ever mentioned in Lockhart’s works. It would take a great deal ofContinue reading “The Forgotten Character”
An Author Of Note
On Monday, Chaplain Mike ranted on three topics—which is very good for a Monday. Normally I can’t work up to three until Wednesday or Thursday. But the Chaplain knows his stuff, and he worked right up to three good ones. Unfortunately, most of the comments were centered around Francis Chan wanting the elderly to stopContinue reading “An Author Of Note”
Saturday Ramblings 7.7.12
Good Saturday morning, iMonks! Here’s hoping if you have been in the dark that you have power restored. If not, then how are you reading this? The storms from this last week left a lot of debris in the yard of the iMonastery, so we invite you to grab a rake and help us toContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.7.12”
Saturday Ramblings 6.30.12
Welcome to the birthday edition of Saturday Ramblings. It was the birthday week for the Synonymous Rambler. Hey, the SR takes birthdays seriously. One day isn’t enough! Wednesday was my son’s 19th birthday. Friday was the birthday of my friend Mike Davis—and I am still recovering from his party. (He said it was BYOLS: BringContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.30.12”
Visiting Heaven
[Sorry this is late today. As Chaplain Mike often says, sometime real life intrudes … ] This boasting will do no good, but I must go on. I will reluctantly tell about visions and revelations from the Lord. I was caught up to the third heaven fourteen years ago. Whether I was in my body or outContinue reading “Visiting Heaven”
Saturday Ramblings 6.23.12
Greetings, sports fans. Welcome to the in-mourning edition of Saturday Ramblings. Why are we in mourning? The Oklahoma City Thunder lost to the godless Miami Heat Thursday in the NBA Finals. It was hard for the Thunder to handle Miami’s “Big Three:” LeBron James, Duane Wade, and the refs. Well, there is one consolation. Soon,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.23.12”
To Make God Smile
Try to stay with me here. The Beatles (remember them?) released Rubber Soul in time for Christmas, 1965. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys said this was the best album he had ever heard and set about to create his own masterpiece. In May of 1966, Wilson (who turned 70 yesterday) and the Boys released PetContinue reading “To Make God Smile”
