  • What to Do?

    In a post from two months ago, David Hayward, aka nakedpastor, asked the following questions:

    Can you speak your mind…
    Can you openly confess your sin…
    Can you share your perpetual struggles…
    Can you make a mistake…
    Can you question the bible and theology…
    Can you lose your faith…
    Can you come out of the closet…
    Can you fail…
    Can you crash…
    Can you […]

  • Up in the Air

    I have been thinking about my life lately, and though I don’t really want to sound like a whiner ( I really don’t), I am not too happy about where it seems to be heading.  As all of my faithful readers know, I have been looking to move to a new church this summer in […]

  • Waiting and Patience

    Many years ago I discovered something about myself that is probably true of 99.99% of the people in world: I hate waiting. Some friends of mine at Eastern Kentucky University and I made plans to go to the Kentucky Derby (sometime in the early 80s I suppose), and though we knew that we […]

    “For children are innocent and love justice, while most of us are wicked and naturally prefer mercy.”  - G. K. Chesterton, quoted in Into the Wild, page 117*

  • The Smiley Face Preacher (Otherwise Known as Joel Osteen)

     Print This Post
    Last evening (Sunday, October 14th) I watched some of 60 Minutes, a show I rarely view anymore.  The reason I did this was because I saw it would have a piece on Joel Osteen, Senior Pastor of America’s largest “church,” otherwise know as Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas.  If you didn’t see […]

  • One Year Ago on One Thing I Know: On Mockers, Scoffers and the Doom of America

    From time to time, I will be re-posting a blog entry from one or two years ago.  Today, I go back to a blog post on the Rev. Fred Phelps.  He is just as obnoxious today, however, as he was a year ago.
    You know, I am almost never shocked by anything that I see anymore […]

  • Some Thoughts on Christian Unity

    Phil Miller at CRN.Info and Analysis posted some interesting quotes on Christian unity from some of the leaders of the great religious movements of the last 500 years.  As a United Methodist, I found the one by John Wesley to be of more than passing interest to me, but all of the quotes are of […]
