You may have noticed this week’s Ramblings was a bit delayed. It’s not my fault. One of my good friends tempted me with free tickets to a hockey game Friday night when I would normally be writing.

Love Without Boundaries
I am going to upset many today, but what’s new about that? I am going to field angry comments from counselors, pastors, and those who have been hurt. Yet what I have to say needs to be said.

Why I Need Advent
So I set out Tuesday for a quick errand to find a book on the importance of Advent. How hard could that be? Four bookstores and two library branches later, I came home with one book of dubious value and one booklet with some good stuff. (I also came home with a large diet chocolateContinue reading “Why I Need Advent”

Tom Waits And Theology
Today is Thanksgiving, which means tomorrow is the greatest of all consumeristic holidays, Black Friday. It’s such a great day to some that they can’t wait to celebrate. Your neighbors and friends will be out in force starting at midnight to get great deals on stuff they really don’t need, like toaster ovens, foot massagersContinue reading “Tom Waits And Theology”

Welcome to the Thanksgiving Week edition of Saturday Ramblings. This is your chief turkey rambling toward mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes (with marshmallows, of course), dressing, corn, and green beans with those crunchy things on top.
