What a quirky God we serve, What a quicky God we serve. Angels bow before Him, Heaven and Earth adore Him, But what a quirky God we serve. Some of you will recognize the praise song I balderized above. The word isn't supposed to be quirky, it is supposed to be Mighty. And most theologies … Continue reading What a Quirky God we serve

Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.

Finding an advocate…
we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: I John 2 The above passage is an encouragement to the Believer that, no matter what happens on earth, there is a heavenly advocate for us.

She who has the power says what is true …
The lady at the check-in to my doctor's office didn't think I would like to hear the answer she really should have said, so she said something else instead. Even though I asked a direct question, she wouldn't answer it, and her supervisor was ever better at lying to me than she was. Thank goodness … Continue reading She who has the power says what is true …
David Jordan Hatch (an obit.)
I feel like writing an obituary. Or rather it feels like I am writing an obituary. There is the death of something here, and while I might feel like I know what that is, I am very loathe to actually say it. So you had to get yourself in trouble again. I had offered you … Continue reading David Jordan Hatch (an obit.)
Hypocrisy, Thy name is Avondale United Methodist Church
Rev. Peak, I went to the church expecting to find a pastor: I found a coward.

Telemarketer ID not good one for a Church
I was trying to reach the new pastor of a neighboring Methodist Church, and called the church number. The voicemail, which seemed to be recorded in 2021 (masking instructions, etc.), confirmed the office hours I found on the church web page. I called several times during office hours the next week, and only got the … Continue reading Telemarketer ID not good one for a Church
Monogamy and the Trinity
This post doesn't fit into the neat, well-ordered framework and subject order I was considering for my series on "Libertarian Theology", but Libertarian Theology seems to be the logical category for it. I was talking to a friend when he detoured the topic to the subject of sexual mores and monogamy. He asserted that very … Continue reading Monogamy and the Trinity
Putting the harshness in perspective
The blog editor/author is putting the last three days of first person narratives into perspective in today's post. Or so it is hoped. The personal story shared wrapped up the most recent chapter with some harsh words about someone who had wronged him, but not seemingly as severe as the others earlier, yet the most … Continue reading Putting the harshness in perspective
