Something for a Sunday Morning May 18, 2009

There are a lot of things I wouldn’t add to a Sunday morning worship service. But this guy has a serious shot.

Eat This Book May 13, 2009

I am pleased to recommend a book to you. The Complete John Ploughman is a combined addition of Charles Spurgeon’s John Ploughman’s Talk and John Ploughman’s Pictures. In the book, Spurgeon demonstrates he’s not just a great orator, but a fabulous word smith in the vernacular. He kind of puts it on the bottom shelf [...]

Who Said It? May 13, 2009

This semester I had to read a book on Darwinism for Introduction to Christian Philosophy. I find new areas of study quite interesting, if not a little frustrating, and thought I would bring you two quotes by experts associated with the field. See if you can tell me who said it!
“Why does the public find [...]

Quiet Morning with Coffee May 12, 2009

I’m enjoying a quiet morning in one of Frankfort’s little treasures. The Kentucky Coffeetree is a quaint place to sit and drink a tall latte while studying or reading. When I have the time (i.e. when school is out) I love to come here and relax in the morning. It’s open early and plenty of [...]

Pointless Ponderings May 9, 2009

I was reading some poetry tonight and this one strikes me. It kind of reminds me of dating. And makes me a little upset that I ever did such a thing as date.
Dear, though the night is gone
It’s dream still haunts us today,
That brought us to a room
Cavernous, lofty as
A railway terminus,
And crowded in the [...]

Shanna Moakler’s Hypocrisy April 29, 2009

Remember when Shanna Moakler twittered that beauty pageants weren’t supposed to be a place to push personal agendas? Check out this cool picture.
Yeah, that’s Shanna there in the middle. Who, exactly, got blasted for voicing their opinions? Was it you, Shanna?

You should go here if you want to read a really smart person write about why they homeschool.

Sparing the Rod: Children and Church Discipline April 14, 2009

Children are a gift from the Lord – a reward. Church membership is a privilege – a responsibility. Church discipline is for all believers – a requirement.
What happens when we are required to hold our rewards responsible?
Anybody care to take a guess where this is going? Comments invited.
More. Later.

Out of Africa April 14, 2009

I traveled to South Africa last summer for ten days and returned home just after my youngest son’s second birthday. When our team landed in Atlanta, we still had one more leg of the trip to go – a short flight to Louisville. But there in the terminal holding a Sports Illustrated with a montage [...]

April & the Time for Weblogging April 14, 2009

If Hershael York can win a Baptist Bloggers tournament with three posts a year, then surely it is time for me to add the obligatory yearly post.
I logged on for the first time in maybe seven months tonight and saw that I have two drafts saved and waiting for me to finish. One is [...]

Walk Hard April 10, 2008

Last Tuesday I bore the burden of our youngest son, Charles, while on a 2.3 mile hike. He was strapped to my back and having a great time while I was huffing and puffing along. The walk was fun and refreshing and energizing – but it was hard. You see, I’m an Associate Pastor and [...]
