We could write a book. We should write a book. We likely won’t write a book. But, I will tell a little of the story. 27 years ago at 7 p.m. we looked at each other and said, “I do.” For 31 years we have grown to be the best of friends. In fact, that [...]

I’m with Mike
I don’t normally listen to talk radio – left or right. Too often they seem to make the same mistakes. My friend Mike Devries offers the following,
Apparently Glen Beck is now urging people to leave their churches if their leaders begin to speak about social justice. [Seriously, I'm not making this up.] To make matters… [...]
You Can Call Me … a Future Grandpa
That’s right. I have been sitting on this news for a few weeks. Our oldest daughter and her husband stopped by on a Sunday morning to show us the results of a home pregnancy test. Then, they said, “You can’t tell anyone for a while.” What?! For quite some time they have hoped for this [...]

“Didachists” to Avoid – The Dishonest Type
I am reading Tony Jones new book on the “Didache,” The Teaching of the Twelve. I have Bettensen’s Documents of the Christian Church which contains excerpts from the Didache. Tony offers a complete copy in his book. Imagine that! The former National Coordinator for Emergent Village authors a book favorable of one of the earliest [...]
Candid from Canada – Jordon Cooper on Theological Conversations
One of these days I want to visit Saskatoon. Jordon tells me it is a beautiful place and a trip to Cooper Cabin could be just as fun as our sharing space in a condo in Nassau. I am always reminded of our need to hear from other perspectives when I read Jordon’s blog. He [...]
