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”

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”
Saturday Ramblings 6.11.11
A hearty Rambler thanks to Adam Palmer for filling in last week in a great way. I was “on assignment,” watching my niece graduate from high school, visiting family, and spending a great day with some of my fellow iMonks. First Lady Denise Spencer, Chaplain Mike and his wife Gail, and Lisa Dye all gatheredContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.11.11”
Saturday Ramblings 6.4.11
Our rambler-in-chief is visiting his family in Ohio this week, so Saturday Ramblings duties have fallen to me, Adam Palmer. Four months ago I was curled up by the fire while two feet of snow fell outside. Today I am curling up from the fiery heat while, uh… putting my two feet into snow… cones?Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.4.11”
Saturday Ramblings 5.28.11
Greetings, iMonks. Once again we have reached the week’s end. Every time we have a Friday, Saturday invariably follows. I like Saturdays. They’re great for hiking, yard work, running to the big box home improvement store to buy things for the yard, wondering why after applying weedkiller my grass is not growing but the weedsContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 5.28.11”
Saturday Ramblings 5.21.11
Welcome to the Judgment Day edition of Saturday Ramblings. You’ll want to read quickly today—it wouldn’t do to not be finished with the Ramblings before 6 p.m. Pacific today, would it? Of course, those on the east coast have time for dinner and a movie before we’re all … uh, what is it we’re allContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 5.21.11”
Saturday Ramblings 5.14.11
It’s that time of week again. Saturday has come around, just like usual. And I’ll bet they have Sunday scheduled for tomorrow. Well, before we move on to Monday, let us stroll through some leftovers from this past week. Or, as we like to say, let’s ramble. There is an epidemic in Ghana. An epidemicContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 5.14.11”

Saturday Ramblings 4-30-11
England? Something happened in England, huh? Another soccer riot? The development of a car with a working electrical system? What’s that? Wedding? Who got married? Not Sir Mick again. Bill and Kate? Never heard of ’em. So, since it is not something that holds my interest more than the requisite four seconds, I suggest weContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 4-30-11”
Saturday Ramblings 4.23.11
Your Rambler is back after a two-week hiatus. Did you miss me? What do you mean you didn’t even know I was gone? Is that any way to treat your intrepid reporter? In case you’ve forgotten, Saturday Ramblings is our chance to do a little light housekeeping around the iMonastery. Well, after two weeks off,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 4.23.11”
