It’s a new year, and there may be some who have not been at the iMonastery for very long. Perhaps you don’t know the faces behind the names here, or the stories behind the faces behind the names. So I thought as we kick off 2012 we would start with a look at the iMonkContinue reading “Meet The Team”

My New Year’s Non-Resolution
Yes, it’s that time of year again. The time when retailers parade merchandise in front of our eyes to guilt us into buying things we’ll never use, like juicers (“Just put in one large bag of oranges, and Viola! Out comes a small glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice!”), self-help educational materials (“Learn to speak Mandarin ChineseContinue reading “My New Year’s Non-Resolution”
Saturday Ramblings 12-31-11
One more day. One more day in a year that has been, well, shall we say, interesting? We are celebrating the last day of 2011 here at the iMonastery with a day-long party. The ladies all brought spice cake, and the guys put forth mulled wine. Then we all looked at that and said, “WhatContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 12-31-11”
Looking Forward, Looking Back
My, my. Another year come and gone. Who won the World Series? Not my Reds? Then who cares? 2011 was the most trying year of my life. And the most incredible. It’s one thing to say that one knows the Lord is always faithful. It’s another to rediscover it anew every day. And as IContinue reading “Looking Forward, Looking Back”

Saturday Ramblings 12.24.11
Merry Christmas Eve, iMonks! Lisa has put out the milk and cookies for Santa, Martha and Damaris have hung the stockings by the chimney with care, and the Synonymous Rambler is playing carols on the harpsichord. Meanwhile, Chaplain Mike and Adam are trying to remember all of the reindeers’ names, and Joe Stallard is still tryingContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 12.24.11”
Candy Canes
I often hear the phrase “the reason for the season” at this time of year. In case you are wondering what the reason for this season is, I can tell you in one five-letter word. Sugar. Pure, one hundred percent cane sugar, and lots of it. To quote that great keeper of Christmas, Buddy theContinue reading “Candy Canes”
Another Look: The First To Hear
This is another look at a post first published here last December. It is the story of the first ones to hear the announcement that the Messiah had been born and placed in a manger. It’s a great reminder to us all that losers are welcomed by our Lord. 8 That night there were shepherds stayingContinue reading “Another Look: The First To Hear”
Saturday Ramblings 12.17.11
What a busy week it’s been here at the iMonastery. It is like a miniature Santa’s workshop around here! Martha O’Ireland has been busy making fudge with a wee bit of special Irish “juice” in them. Damaris has knitted us all scarfs. Adam is composing a Christmas opera. And Joe Stallard, our erstwhile webmaster, is still tryingContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 12.17.11”
Christianity In America: A Crisis, or, The Evangelical Emperor Has No Clothes (as found on your library shelf)
A few weeks—ok, months—ago I started writing on what I see in general when I look at today’s evangelical church in America. I called the series The Naked Emperor. I have been kept from revisiting this by work and illness and … oh, lots of things. I do plan to finish what I started, butContinue reading “Christianity In America: A Crisis, or, The Evangelical Emperor Has No Clothes (as found on your library shelf)”
