Welcome to the kickoff edition of Saturday Ramblings. My Tulsa Golden Hurricane take on my Oklahoma Sooners tonight. Wait a minute. Who am I going to root for? They are both “my teams.” Oh what a quandary. What a dilemma. I have my masters from OU. I have, um, nothing, from TU, but they haveContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.3.11”

Saturday Ramblings 8.27.11
This is the “batten down the hatches” edition of Saturday Ramblings. If you are living on the east coast from North Carolina upwards, read this quickly, and then go get ready for the big blow. And let us know if you are in the path of this great storm. We will be praying for yourContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.27.11”
The Best College Application
This really has nothing to do with anything of importance, and you would probably be better off re-reading Chaplain Mike’s excellent discussions so far this week on the Gospel. But seeing as it is back-to-school time, and seeing as I thought we could all do with a bit of a laugh, and seeing as IContinue reading “The Best College Application”
Saturday Ramblings 8.20.11
It’s that time of week again, time to do some light housekeeping here at the iMonastery. There are brooms and rags and mops aplenty if you want to pitch in and help. Or, if you prefer, you can simply sit back and ramble… Ok, let’s start with the most important story of the week. TheContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.20.11”
The Empty Church
(Chaplain Mike asked for family stories this week. Here is mine.) I was born and raised (I always thought that sounded kind of funny—I thought barns and flags and hands were raised) in southwestern Ohio. Lebanon, Ohio to be exact. Some of my ancestors were among the first settlers of Lebanon and Warren County. AccordingContinue reading “The Empty Church”
Saturday Ramblings 8.13.11
It’s Saturday the 13th, iMonks. I have no idea if that is good luck, bad luck, or just a day. I tend to think it is just a day, but not just any day. It’s Saturday, the day we do some light housecleaning at the iMonastery. I suppose that is bad luck for those whoContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.13.11”
Walking The Broken Road
I have no idea who she is or what her ailment is. She started coming to my church a few weeks ago. She is hard to miss—a small woman with twisted hands and feet and a rag sticking out of her mouth. But there she was this past Sunday, just a few feet ahead ofContinue reading “Walking The Broken Road”
Saturday Ramblings 7.30.11
One million is a very large number. Well, maybe not when it comes to the government and its debt ceiling. But it is a huge number to us at the iMonastery. We have had one million iMonks visit the abbey since this time last year. One million. That’s not “hits,” that’s not “page views.” OneContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.30.11”
Saturday Ramblings 7.23.11
WooHoo! We made it through the whole week without any downtime, thanks to the stalwart work of Joe “the Plumber” Stallard and iMonk Sean. What say you we have a party? Let’s see … we have the Diet Coke with lime. We have the corn chips with a hint of lime. We have a keyContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.23.11”
My Summer Reading List
I don’t want you to get the wrong impression. I don’t just read theological tomes or works of literary fiction. As a matter of fact just yesterday I made two purchases which might impress you: Mad Magazine’s spoof of all eight Harry Potter films, and a Louis L’Amour western. Yessir, that is some heavy-duty reading.Continue reading “My Summer Reading List”
