Well, some time ago, I promised myself I’d never give in to the “meme” or “tag” game… but it’s been so long since I wrote, I decided to give it a shot. So, here goes. AppetizerDo your closer friends tend to be male or female? Why do you think that is? Gender only matters toContinue reading “Friday’s Feast”

Wow! I just had a fascinating experience on my walk this morning. About a block before I got to where “my” deer normally grazes, and where we commune each morning, I happened to be looking towards a vacant lot. My eyes spied movement. At least 7 deer had heard me walking and were running offContinue reading “Update on the Walking”

My church has been abuzz, of late, about “The Homeless Problem”. Many don’t want them hanging around our property. We feed them on Sunday mornings, and to many in our congregation that’s too much. Let’s keep them away the rest of the week! They scare us. I’m committed to helping our homeless. I am aContinue reading “What’s the buzz… tell me what’s happening!”

Have I mentioned here that I’ve taken up the sport of walking? Well, I have. I don’t know a lot about addiction. I’m lucky in that vein… I’ve never had a problem with alcohol… IF I have a drink, I have A drink… maybe 2. It’s been nearly a decade since I’ve been drunk. AndContinue reading “Walking”

(See correction about Lake Moraine below. 8/4/05) Well, I’m just finally getting settled back in to the hum-drum of daily living after a 10 day vacation… sort of. Scott & I left on July 21 for a two-pronged vacation. For the first 5 days, we visited beautiful Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This was a blast! OurContinue reading “I’m Back… maybe”

Before I begin this blog, I think a definition or two is in order. And before the definition, an apology to “The Fellow Traveller”. I just two minutes ago sent you an email explaining why it was unlikely I’d be bloggin any time soon. And Voila! Out of the clear blue, inspiration…. such as itContinue reading “The Tramp”

Okay… I can buy MOST of what this survey/quiz says about me. But 64% Roman Catholic? Ewww. Must I be insulted by anonymous Quizsters? 😉 And, that the quiz indicates I’m 4% fundamentalist… I guess, ok. I can see that. In fact I’d a thunk it was higher.

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don’t think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should takeContinue reading “Oh, what the hell….”

It’s funny how the strangest things can get my attention and lead me off in a direction that may have nothing to do with anything. Today that happened. I was reviewing my Spam folder prior to emptying it. Near the top was one with the subject line “We need people BAD!” (It was from “ResearchContinue reading “Baboons and Cheetahs”

Gosh! It’s been nearly 3 weeks since I posted last. I feel bad about that, in a way, but not really. My blog serves as an outlet for ME to write when I feel the need to, or when I feel led to. The day it becomes a burden is the day I close itContinue reading “It only takes a spark…”
