I wrote this nearly two years ago. I thought it would be well to revisit it in light of Chaplain MIke’s post yesterday morning on listening for God’s word. Listening for God’s voice is not a topic we can get too much of. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days;Continue reading “Another Look: Those Who Dance Are Considered To Be Insane By Those Who Can’t Hear The Music”

Saturday Ramblings 4.21.12
Greetings one and all! What a bright, lovely, springy day it is here at the iMonastery. I hope it is sunny where you are. If it isn’t, then please allow us to take you to our own little land of sunshine we like to call … Saturday Ramblings. First of all, are there any iMonksContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 4.21.12”
Difficult Scriptures: John 1:35-38
The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them,“What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher),Continue reading “Difficult Scriptures: John 1:35-38”
Bad Religion: A Prelude
Last week I wrote about heresy in a way that upset many of you. First of all, I used a baseball manager (Ozzie Guillen) as an example of a heretic—though not a religious one—and then said clearly that we should not be on a witch hunt for heretics, which prompted some of you to tellContinue reading “Bad Religion: A Prelude”
Saturday Ramblings 4.14.12
Greetings one and all! Your favorite rambling iMonk here to serve you the leftover goodies from a very busy week. On a personal note, I finished the first draft of a project that was taking way, way too long. I felt like I was swimming upstream in a river of mud. But I sent itContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 4.14.12”
If It Walks Like A Duck …
Ozzie Guillen is an idiot. The manager of the Miami Marlins was interviewed by Time magazine for an online article, released last week. In the interview, Guillen—again, a baseball manager, not a foreign diplomat or spokesman—spoke about how he feels about Fidel Castro. “I respect Fidel Castro. You know why? A lot of people haveContinue reading “If It Walks Like A Duck …”
Saturday Ramblings 4.7.12
Greetings one and all to the Easter edition of Saturday Ramblings. We have an Easter basket full of goodies for you. Jelly beans, malted milk balls, chocolate bunnies (you do eat their ears first, don’t you?) and licorice whips. We’ve also hidden among the plastic grass some other treats—chocolate-covered ramblings. Let’s dig in! Please rememberContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 4.7.12”
Second Anniversary Of The Saddest Day
April 5, 2010. A day that will forever be stuck in my heart as the day I lost the best friend I never met. I “discovered” Michael the same way most all of you did: Through his writings on this site. At the time I had been walking with the Lord for more than 35Continue reading “Second Anniversary Of The Saddest Day”
Saturday Ramblings 3.31.12
Saturday Ramblings is blah, blah, blah. You know the routine. Leftovers, etc. We have too much to cover today, so … shall we ramble? By the time you are reading this, Pope Benedict XVI will be resting back at home after his trip to Mexico and Cuba. While in Cuba the Pope met with FidelContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 3.31.12”
Saturday Ramblings 3.24.12
Welcome to the March Madness edition of Saturday Ramblings. I asked the Synonymous Rambler to take charge of the leftovers this week so I could focus on all of the Ohio teams still (as of this writing) in the tournament. But SR is also caught up in the madness of this third month of theContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 3.24.12”
