Spiritual Fathers
The guys known as the blogging behemoth Near Emmaus (talk about corporate takeovers…) are doing a great giveaway. (Which I will probably be disqualified from for my opening remark.) 😉 The giveaway is the forthcoming Eugene Peterson memoir, which I totally want. I can’t say “deserve.” I just want the thing. They ask that those wanting the book write on…

Daring to Hope: Where Would You Give?
I am working through the passage in Isa. 2:1-5 for Sunday.

They’re actually back to releasing truly bad news and casting bad lights on bad situations. They’ve released portions of thousands of pages of classified documents leaked to them about the situation in…

Coming Aside
I will be taking a “mini-sabbatical” in August. It’s the first time I have tried this. I pastor a small church and we simply can’t afford to go longer with the time frame, but I am grateful for the opportunity to come aside. This sabbatical is crucial. I’ve been pastor at this church for 12 years. Earlier this year I…

Is this thing on? Did I lose contact with the outside world?
