What is more natural to us as human beings, at least as human beings birthed and nurtured in the epistemological framework of Western Civilization, than to categorize… EVERYTHING? If we can conceive of it, we must categorize it. In fact, every word in this document can be categorized into at least one category. So, it’sContinue reading “Pigeon Hole Christianity”

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. As we go forward into this Christian season of Lent, I hope to write a little more, but we shall see. Yesterday, after work I went to church for our Ash Wednesday worship. Normally, Wednesday is reserved for our bible/book study. Doing my duty as this quarter’s worship coordinator, I filledContinue reading “Oh the Irony of it all”

Hey all, Just coming out for a second to touch bases. Into day three of a VERY sore neck and headache. Can’t turn my head to either right or left, and tilting back hurts too… and the soreness I think is causing a really bad headache. On top of that, I’ve been fighting several daysContinue reading “Does he see his shadow?”

“Every day I learn something. As long as I show up to class. As long as I show up for my own life.” Yesterday, Jeremy piggy-backed a portion of his blog off of a statement I made in my previous post. Today, I return the favor… I mentioned yesterday that the Executive Director of theContinue reading “Grace – according to eric”

Oh, man! I do NOT know what to make of this! For background, our church has entered into another perennial transition. As part of this transition, our 31st Anniversary service was preached by the new Executive Director of the UFMCC. Her sermon was excellent! Scott and I picked up this person at the airport, thenContinue reading “John the Baptist and other Visionaries”

This’ll be relatively short. I think. But I just have to whine. I wanted to talk to a really good friend about this today, but she’s just not in a place to hear me, to even listen. She asserts she understands, but I don’t think she does… she doesn’t because she hasn’t let me sayContinue reading “I feel like whining, so bear with me… or not.”

Death. Having just written about the passing of my beloved Travis, I can’t get my mind off of death. Well, okay, I can, but I don’t want to. So there. And so, fellow pilgrim, you’ve really gotten into me today. And so, once again, I write in response to you… and to one you wroteContinue reading “On Death”

I’m weird. I have to face that little fact. I’m weird. I believe in that which we all believe, yet spend our lives denying. I just read this blog, by my fellow pilgrim. He emailed me earlier inviting me to check out his writing… and this isn’t what he focused me towards, but this caughtContinue reading “Yeah, OK, call me weird”

Oh, the bane of laziness! After emailing in my previous post, I did a little searching around. Why, I wondered, is my Privacy Service preventing me from logging in to my own blog to post? And why can’t I play games? It seems at some point I blocked blogger.com from setting cookies on my computer!Continue reading “Addendum to excuses”

In November, 2004, my home computer crashed. I had noticed it slowing down significantly and I knew I have a fairly robust computer. Then, my privacy software notified me that it suspected there was at least one spyware app on it, so I downloaded a spyware detector. Sure enough, there was not one, not two,Continue reading “Excuses, excuses, excuses…”
