Hey iMonks. I have a request from my brother-in-law. He is preaching on the “Beauty of the Church” the next couple of weeks and needs our help. Here is what he has asked of me: I know you hear and see a lot of the worst of the church from your Internet Monk seat. Â ButContinue reading “What Makes The Church Beautiful?”

Saturday Ramblings 2.26.11
They’re selling independence, actors in the White House, acid indigestion, mortgage on my life, mortgage on my life. Ramble tamble. Ramble tamble. CCR says they’re ready. Are you ready to ramble? Then let’s do it. I would really like you to stop and listen to the message by Rod Rosenbladt—“Christianity In Five Verses.” This isContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 2.26.11”
Monkshank Redemption
“This is one of my favorite movies, Dad.” I was sitting down to watch Shawshank Redemption with my oldest daughter, Rebekah. “It reminds me of the children of Israel.” “Really? How so?” “Well, when they were set free from Egypt, they couldn’t handle freedom. It scared them. Most of them wanted to go back toContinue reading “Monkshank Redemption”
Jail Break
A little while ago I was up late at night and caught a TV special on the making of Johnny Cash’s album, San Quentin. When it came to Cash performing the song about California’s infamous prison, I listened intently—and then came undone. I wept and wept. I went to iTunes and downloaded the song, listenedContinue reading “Jail Break”

Well, sports fans, here is some good news: Pitchers and catchers report in four days to Spring Training. YouContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 2.12.11”
The Art Of Doing Nothing
Ok, I suppose 25 inches of snow in a week’s time will get some to slow down. Here in Oklahoma, it will get us to burrow underground not to be awakened until springtime. (And spring in Oklahoma usually starts in about mid-February, so I suppose it will be a short nap.) I wish I couldContinue reading “The Art Of Doing Nothing”
Saturday Ramblings 2.5.11
Happy Saturday! Oh we are all very happy here at the southwest branch of the iMonastery. Stuck inside after fourteen inches of snow makes us all happy. I’ve got a lot of writing and editing to do, so I won’t lack for something to keep me busy. And I hear there’s some sporting event onContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 2.5.11”
Some Light Housecleaning
As I am stuck inside my ranch (ok, suburban ranch-style house) here in Tulsa waiting for the snow to melt, I thought it might be a good time to try to catch up on some light housecleaning. I have a number of books piled up that need to be reviewed. I’ll touch on a fewContinue reading “Some Light Housecleaning”
