InternetMonk is a labor of love by those who write, edit and maintain these pages. It is because of your generous gifts we can continue to keep the lights on in the iMonastery. I get an email each time someone donates thru PayPal (button to the right of these words), and I am always gratefulContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.7.13”

Saturday Ramblings 9.1.13
Football fever is in the air, iMonks. Either that, or my neighbor is burning his trash again. But I think it is football fever. It started Thursday night when my Tulsa Golden Hurricane (singular; one hurricane is enough) lost to some team from Ohio. But we have a long way to go, right? College footballContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.1.13”
ESV Omega Thinline Bible Review
I have finally come to grips with people using their iPads and iPhones for reading the Bible. No longer do I frown at people who use such technology in church. Just the other morning yours truly wanted to read something in the book of Jeremiah, but I didn’t want to get out of bed andContinue reading “ESV Omega Thinline Bible Review”
The Homily
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9, NIV) Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love (Revelation 2:4, NKJV). I hope you will allow me some leeway in today’s homily. I wantContinue reading “The Homily”
Saturday Ramblings 8.24.13
It has been a rather slow week here at the iMonastery. Chaplain Mike and Mule Chewing Briars baked cookies. The women spent their time complaining practicing for the iMonk flag football team. Me? I kept busy sewing uniforms and cleaning cookie sheets. An abbot’s work is never finished. Now it’s time to relax with aContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.24.13”
Living In The Land Of The Real
We should be grateful to the Lord our God, for putting us to the test, as he did our forefathers. Recall how he dealt with Abraham, and how he tried Isaac, and all that happened to Jacob in Syrian Mesopotamia while he was tending the flocks of Laban, his mother’s brother. Not for vengeance didContinue reading “Living In The Land Of The Real”
The Homily
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? (Psalm 22:1, NIV) About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli,Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”) (Matthew 27:46, NIV). Breakfast at the Savoy thisContinue reading “The Homily”
Saturday Ramblings 8.17.13
Good morning, iMonks. How is your coffee? Want another sweet roll? Here, let turn the page of the newspaper for you. Comfy? Good. Now, wake up from your dream and grab a broom. It’s time for the weekly clean-up around here we call Saturday Ramblings. (And we have a great bonus video for you thisContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.17.13”
The Homily
In the same way one shepherd seeks after, cares for, and watches over his scattered flock, so will I be the guardian of My sheep. I will be their Rescuer! No matter where they have scattered, I will go to find them. I will bring them back from the places where they were scattered on that dark andContinue reading “The Homily”
Who We Are
I have received several emails from various people lately saying how much the “old” InternetMonk is missed. How we have strayed away from the original intent of our founder, Michael Spencer. I need to say right up front that these emailers are correct. Today’s InternetMonk is not the same as yesterday’s InternetMonk. When Michael beganContinue reading “Who We Are”
