Now Jeremiah wasn’t cool, they all said Jeremiah was a fool. And Ezekiel wasn’t cool, they all said Ezekiel was a fool. And Isaiah wasn’t cool, they all said Isaiah was a fool. And Jesus wasn’t cool, they all said Jesus was a fool. And if Jesus wasn’t cool, and if Jesus was a fool,Continue reading “God’s Fool”

Saturday Ramblings 11.13.10
Jingle, jangle—hear that ramble? It’s time for Saturday Ramblings. Tales from the crypt? At Rome’s Catholic Church, the youth pastor has turned a crypt into a night club, complete with a live music stage and a bar. Gee, Martha—we might all become Catholics yet. Or maybe we’ll just become Irish, like Bono. Just in caseContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 11.13.10”

Saturday Ramblings 11.6.10
It’s Saturday. That means donuts and extra coffee for breakfast, time to read the paper, watching Bugs Bunny cartoons … what? Really? Since when? Oh my.

A Paint-By-Numbers Life
Sometimes I envy those of other religions. Really, I do. There are times I want a paint-by-number religion, one with a complete set of instructions as to how I am to please the deity we are creating with our brushes. All the 8s get green paint, while the 6s are filled in with yellow. ThatContinue reading “A Paint-By-Numbers Life”
Saturday Ramblings 10.30.10
Happy Halloween, fellow monks. Here at the iMonastery, we have a strict rule: No costume, no candy. And believe me, we are candy fools here. Chaplain Mike hardly ever takes his costume off.

Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit.  At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart,  and tombs opened.

A World Series Of Biblical Proportions
And then there were two. The 2010 baseball season has come down to two remaining teams. Don’t be surprised when you read headlines about this being a David (Murphy) vs. the Giant(s) series. The Giants are a team with biblical implications. They have been called a group of misfits and outcasts, bringing to mind thoseContinue reading “A World Series Of Biblical Proportions”
Saturday Ramblings 10.23.10
It is that time of week, time for us to sweep up and put away all the leftovers. Time to clean and shine and wax and … oh, forget it.

This Little Light Of Mine
I have been a Christian now for more than 37 years. As soon as I came into the family, I was told I needed to do two things on a regular basis: go to church and read my Bible. And I have done these two things on a regular basis for all these years. Now,Continue reading “This Little Light Of Mine”
