I guess a few have been wondering, in light of my blogging absence, where I’ve been/if I’m okay. All is well, I have been a little too busy with the recent move, the holidays, and things pastoral. But for now my schedule is back to normal and my blogging should be back to normal. So, [...]
I’m dividing the sixth deadly sin into two posts. This first half is an attempt to explain envy in principle, the following post will attmpt to be more practical and specific concerning this sin.
Envy is an intense form of jealousy that craves what another has, and would even seek to take it from him. [...]

A few are making the charge that Lake’s death was God’s judgment against him for his theology (Kyle was a part of the emerging church). I am not interested in driving more traffic to those sites which, in this case, are [...]
I don’t run into very much talk about St. Anne’s Public House, the quarterly audio ministry of Christ Church in Spokane, WA, but it is well worth your time. The most recent issue, on Television, is funny and thought provoking. No spooon feeding here. Issues are raised, problems are observed, but the listener is left [...]
I can’t sleep. You know how houses have their own unique noises? Since moving into our new house we have discovered, during this very windy season, that it makes a lot of noises as the wind hits the face of it. Man, it’s windy tonight. As wind pushes against and through the old windows the [...]
1. Make a Quill.
This could be a very cool thing to do with the family as a weekend activity (I’m not calling it a craft). Let me know if you do it. I want to try it later this year.
2. Read Spurgeon’s sermon, A View of God’s Glory.
