I first came to know Michael Spencer following his posts on the Coming Collapse of Evangelicalism, brilliant pieces that stirred no end of controversy. (Not that Michael ever let a bit of controversy bother him.) I want to start off these thoughts of mine by quoting Michael from his post: I’m not a Prophet or aContinue reading “The Coming Collapse Of Excessive Evangelicalism”

Saturday Ramblings 2.4.12
Welcome to the Superb Owl version of Saturday Ramblings. Yes, we are still waiting for the NFL to declare InternetMonk as the official blog of pro football. Until then, we cannot refer to the big game this weekend by its proper name, so we will go with the suggestion of one of our own writers,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 2.4.12”
Some Music Observations
I am a music man. Always have been. I remember listening to my mom’s Elvis and Buddy Holly 45s on an old portable record player. (If you didn’t understand a word I just said, go ask your grandparents for an interpretation.) The first album I remember owning myself was Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron byContinue reading “Some Music Observations”
Saturday Ramblings 1.28.12
Your Rambler is in a better mood today. Oh, the Synonymous Rambler and I have been going round and round again, and yes, it was all my fault again (I think), but otherwise it has been a better week. Spring is in the air here in Tulsa (along with mold and polen), which means baseballContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 1.28.12”
Saturday Ramblings 1.21.12
Your Rambler is in a bad mood today. I’m tired. I got two hours’ sleep after work Thursday night, then drove to Missouri to see my son graduate from Army Transportation School, then drove back home, only to have him want me to go look at a car with him. Which I am normally gladContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 1.21.12”
They’re Not All Clowns
Update: Thanks to all who pointed out that Michael Spencer, the original Internet Monk, came up with the phrase “evangelical circus.” Credit duly noted. I don’t know who first came up with the phrase “evangelical circus” here at the iMonastery. It was either Chaplain Mike or myself, but we both use it frequently to describeContinue reading “They’re Not All Clowns”
Saturday Ramblings 1.14.12
Happy day after Friday the 13th! Did you make it through ok? No broken mirrors, no black cats crossing your path? There is a story behind why Friday the 13th has become an evil omen, but I forget it now. I’m sure Martha O’Ireland will remember it for us! (That’s your cue, Martha! Oh, andContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 1.14.12”
What Is A Song Good For?
We were having a good discussion about churches the other day over lunch at work. Not Church’s Chicken, though that would have been appropriate. No, churches, which we have in abundance here in Tulsa. (There is one stretch of road about 3/4 of a mile long with four churches lining the street. Four in lessContinue reading “What Is A Song Good For?”
Does God Like Tebow More Than Brady?
Did we witness a miracle on Sunday? The Denver Broncos, who finished the season a mediocre 8-8 (which calls to mind one of my favorite poems: “There’s a 50 percent chance of rain today/Now that really tells me a lot/It means it might rain/And it might not”), were playing the once-mighty Pittsburgh Steelers in anContinue reading “Does God Like Tebow More Than Brady?”
Saturday Ramblings 1.7.12
Twelve? Did I just type “12” in the headline? I did. It’s 2012 now! Our first Rambling session of the new year. And it’s a doozy. Mr. Bones is back from a long but well-deserved vacation. Adam Palmer checked in with yet another technology as religion story. The Synonymous Rambler went back into hiding. We’veContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 1.7.12”
