Come, everyone who is thirsty— here is water! Come, you that have no money— buy grain and eat! Come! Buy wine and milk— it will cost you nothing! Why spend money on what does not satisfy? Why spend your wages and still be hungry? Listen to me and do what I say, and you willContinue reading “The Homily”

Saturday Ramblings 6.29.13
It has been a week, iMonks. We hit triple digits for the first time this summer here at the Tulsa wing of the iMonastery. People will say, “But it’s a dry heat.” Yes, and so is my oven, but I don’t like to hang out there. The older I get, the more thankful I amContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.29.13”
The Homily
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. (Isaiah 55:1, KJV) *** Jesus: The kingdom of heaven is like a wealthy landowner who got up early in the morning and went out,Continue reading “The Homily”
Saturday Ramblings 6.22.13
Buckle your seat belts, iMonks. Today’s Ramblings will be fast and curious, with lots of twisty roads and some unseen bumps to navigate. Please don’t throw your trash out the window, and don’t eat in my car. I don’t like French fry wrappers shoved under the seat. If you all behave, maybe I’ll stop atContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.22.13”
The Homily
He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised, and we held him of no account. (Isaiah 53:3, NRSV) Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would beContinue reading “The Homily”
Saturday Ramblings 6.15.13
Hot enough for you, iMonks? Summer arrived here at the iMonastery this week. Mule Chewing Briars, being the new boy here, had to bum some sun screen from Chaplain Mike, while Adam Palmer protected his delicate skin by borrowing Martha’s umbrella. First Lady Denise just shook her head at all of the silliness. Me? IContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.15.13”
The Homily
When Isaac grew old, his eyes were so bad he could see only shadows. He called his eldest son, Esau, to his side. Isaac: My son. Esau: I’m here. Isaac: 2 You see that I am growing old now. I may die any day. 3 Take your hunting weaponry—your quiver and your bow—and go out to the field and hunt game for me. 4 Then prepareContinue reading “The Homily”
Saturday Ramblings 6.8.13
With the revelation this week that the NSA (No Such Agency) is spying on Americans by looking at their internet wanderings, I’m curious what our spymasters think of Internet Monk? Are there any who moonlight as commenters? Are they researching who this Mule Chewing Briars dude is? And what do they make of the SynonymousContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.8.13”
Meet The Team
As Chaplain Mike shared yesterday, he is stepping back from day-to-day writing duties here at the iMonastery in order to focus on his two “real” fulltime jobs. When we talked recently he said needed time to eat and sleep as well as work. I told him that was a personal problem and suggested if heContinue reading “Meet The Team”
Saturday Ramblings 6.1.13
This is the storm shelter version of Saturday Ramblings. As I write, massive storms are moving across Oklahoma City, 100 miles to my west. I have been watching live shots from an OKC TV station with my heart down around my shoelaces. We have storms heading into Tulsa, and they are making a lot ofContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.1.13”
