For My Lovely Wife

This song just had me thinking about my lovely and wonderful wife. I think I got the lyrics right.
Kentucky Moonshine, The Cumberland Runners 
Way back up in the Tennessee hills
there’s a pearl of girl with my coupe deville
Swingin’ on the front porch of a shack
Waitin’ for her baby to come back
With Kentucky moonshinin’ down on me
Yeah, we rock [...]

And You Thought You Had a Bad Boss

Holy Crap!

Pardon my French…

…but the call process is driving me bat shit crazy. It is like being in a bad dating relationship that runs hot and cold, on again off again. I wish I could give details, but there are none to give. But here is a recap:
 Them: We want you to be here now.
Me: ok, what do [...]

Bummer

Ingmar Bergman died. Guess he finally lost the chess match.

The Eucharistic Christ

This Christ, bodily and, if you will, bloodily present in the Sacrament of the Altar, is not merely a human being.

Good for Goodell

Mike Vick not allowed at training camp, bringing the NFL one step closer to cleaning up its thug image. If only the NBA would follow suit.

Re: Harry Potter

I don’t get it. I mean, I get why my 12 year old likes it, but I don’t understand the buzz from adults.

Have I Mentioned…

…that generally speaking, weddings are my least favorite thing to do? I mean, if I had to stack up the rites that we carry out, I think weddings would be toward the bottom, if not in last place. Fortunately, our church council is pretty restrictive on who can get married in the building, so it [...]

Call Process Update

Funny, as soon as I settle in for the long haul, things start to happen. It looks like that redevelopment situation is going to happen. I am the primary candidate, meaning my papers can’t go to any other churches. The committee is coming next week for worship and a meeting afterwards. We are basically in [...]
