Wow. 0 for June! I know I don’t blog much, but I missed JUNE! Seems life is keeping me busy. Where I am focusing currently is worship and different means of worship. Part of it is study, where I am currently reading Evagrius devotionally. I want to continue to learn from the Desert Fathers and hear their heart for God.…

It’s campaign season. Has been for, what, three years now? Seems that way. And you KNOW it’s a long campaign season when you get major breaking news over John McCain’s wife and plagiarized recipes! Nothing going on with foreign policy, economic policy, or national security. Nope. We are busy investigating FAKE RECIPES! Journalism at its finest. Campaign trails are getting…

Resurrection Sunday One of the events I enjoy the most over the Passion season is Good Friday. For our community it’s a time of reflecting on the seven last words of Christ from the cross. A different church will take 20 minutes to reflect on a word. It’s a three hour service that is really one of my personal highlights…
