Oh my. Talk about a mess. The sink got backed up last week, so we weren’t able to do any of the dishes. And the leftovers in the fridge are about to turn. I think if you pick some of that green off of the bread it will still be good. Help us out here,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.16.11”

Sigh…
What a week. We were hacked yet again. Our host site could not figure out how to restore our pages. Joe Stallard, our noble web master, spent the better part of three straight days trying to get us back up and running. There will be extra jewels in his crown in heaven for this. SaturdayContinue reading “Sigh…”
Difficult Scriptures: 1 Peter 5:8
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8, NASB). The devil? The devil made me do it. Between the devil and the deep blue sea. Just how does the devil devour one? Where does he go to prowl? Does Satan still bargainContinue reading “Difficult Scriptures: 1 Peter 5:8”
A Fight Of Faith
Last year I wrote about struggles I was facing, and compared them with a boxing match. Today, I feel like I am in the twelfth round of a fifteen-rounder. Â I thought I would revisit this again. Does anyone else feel as if they are in the ring right now? It stood to reason that aContinue reading “A Fight Of Faith”
Saturday Ramblings 7.2.11
One hundred and eight. One. Hundred. Eight. Degrees. I guess I don’t mind the heat so much as the fact that we all have to take turns fanning Chaplain Mike. Anyway, it’s hot here at the iMonastery and we don’t have AC. Reals monks don’t need AC. Ok, maybe we don’t need it but weContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.2.11”
Swim Or Float? Guess What God Wants From Us
If you have read my essays over the last year or two, you will notice a common theme running through them. I am learning to trust God. Yes, after nearly 38 years as a Christian, I am finally learning to let go of my need to understand and trust the Lord. It has been aContinue reading “Swim Or Float? Guess What God Wants From Us”
Updating Updates
For my 20th college reunion in 2000 we invited Brother Bob Stamps to come speak to us. Bro. Bob was our chaplain back in the 1970s, and he is still much-loved by those who were in school during that time. When he got up at our banquet to speak, he said, “I wrote out aContinue reading “Updating Updates”
Saturday Ramblings 6.25.11
Good morning. Welcome to the iMonastery where we specialize in unique dishes made from the finest ingredients. For breakfast today we are serving up heaping helpings of Saturday Ramblings. D.H. Williams, a professor at Baylor University, has some interesting observations after recently attending a megachurch service. Nothing new that we haven’t discussed often times beforeContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.25.11”
But Then …
This is difficult for me to write because it is both humbling and humiliating. My pride is being shattered to admit on a stage before tens of thousands of readers (our stats show more than 80,000 unique visitors come to the iMonastery every month) what I am going to share. But I suppose it’s notContinue reading “But Then …”
Saturday Ramblings 6.18.11
What a week. Chaplain Mike is a grandpa again. My Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup. My Reds swept the Dodgers. With all this excitement, we’ve left a bit of a mess around the iMonastery. Saturday is when we tidy up, starting with these Ramblings… Speaking of baseball, there is a man whose ministry isContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.18.11”
