Our kids are learning Algebra and Calculus, are expected to memorize the periodic table and to read Shakespeare. Their marching-band routines are ever more complicated, and they are supposed to know all the plays in the playbook. But when it comes to church, we say, "Don't bother me with the details."

Now I Know

and knowing is half the battle

I like a recent trend in movies, at least, a trend I'm picking up on. It seems there has been a push to make live-action movies based on children's programs—specifically cartoons—from my own childhood. Some prominent examples are The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, Transformers, and Alvin and the Chipmunks.

It's going on in the television world, too. It seems to be, at least, in a different form it is—bringing back favorite television series, slightly re-envisioned. For example, recently, a movie that is supposed to be the pilot episode of Knight Rider aired. This experiment was also tried with Battlestar Galactica (a success, though I'm no longer a fan of it) and Bionic Woman (seemingly unsuccessful).

Second Sunday in Lent

John 3:1-17; Numbers 21:4-9

In the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

It was a long, hard trek through the wilderness. Of course, when you've fled from slavery and have little to nothing, it seems to make things much longer and harder. But, there were promises: land as far as the eye can see, milk and honey, fertile soils, and the presence of God...and, along the way, food and drink, and the presence of God.

Introducing a New Category

Sermons Title Image

For a while now, I've been "uploading" my sermons to a separate part of the site; well, some of them. They weren't a part of this blog; I simply put links to them in a menu above (along with poems and hymns I've written).

Well, now, I've created a category to put my sermons right on the front page whenever I deem to include one on my site. I'll still put them in the separate part of the site (serving as a sort of archives for my sermon selections. Now, however, you can read new "uploads" right from the blog, and you can even comment on them, if you desire.
