Wild Dreams

The other day I uttered a prayer whilst looking for a parking space outside Costco. (I like saying “whilst” like a Brit – just heard it recently on BBC World News.)  No, the prayer wasn’t for a parking space.

Top Ten Reasons I’m Taking a Seminary Class

I need some reminders and accountability that I’m actually going to follow through with this seminary class I’m planning on taking this fall, “Old Testament Biblical Theology”. I went to an orientation and convocation this week and felt a little out of place at first.  I stuck around afterwards and

That’s it. I’ve had enough.

“What happens in the next few weeks will be as important to the abortion issue as Roe v. Wade” — Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio), July 16, 2009 on the House floor opposing the inclusion of abortion in the health care bill   Oh, the abortion issue just becomes tedius, doesn’t it? I agree. Can’t we [...]

Ode to MJ – Learn the Thriller Dance

Check out the videos below and place your vote! OK, you may think this is a complete diversion from the contemplative theme that launched this blog, but this IS a serious topic. As a child of the 80s, I’ve obviously been reflecting on the death of MJ and feeling very sad about it all. I’ve [...]

Why Cherwell?

Have you ever been to a place that feels magical and you just wanted to sit and soak it all in? That’s exactly how I felt when I had the occasion to visit Oxford and specifically tour the sites around town that were special to author C.S. Lewis. Ah – Oxford. Frankly, I think I [...]
