The Lord is Risen

(An Open Letter to the those who attend Gloria Dei Lutheran Church) He Is Risen Indeed! Greetings from a brother in Christ in Exile. I was sent to you by our Risen Lord in a time of great need. I thought I was being sent to a place of refuge and healing. I misunderstood his … Continue reading The Lord is Risen →

Scriptural Proof

I have received a challenge from a true Christian friend about my musing on Libertarian Theology. When I started with the Declaration of Independence, and talked of God's limits, she challenged me: show from Scripture that God limits Himself. I have taken my time, not because of the scarcity, but because of the abundance of … Continue reading Scriptural Proof →

A Rant Smaller than the Occasion Deserved

Lent, Day 7 In Jasini's Tales and Ideas, Jasini today let out a rant. You can read it by following the link below: https://open.substack.com/pub/jasinikc/p/well-perhaps-they-were-frustrated?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=31hvr4 She feels like she has lashed out strongly and with justification. I agree, and suggest maybe the statement is not strong enough. There is no equality with these people where the … Continue reading A Rant Smaller than the Occasion Deserved →

Taste the Rainbow

The above picture is our seasonal display at At The Rainbow. It features the produce of our garden, the squash garden in particular. Despite attacks by squash bugs, all the plants seemed rather resilient this year: attacked and bitten along one vine, the plant sent out fresh unaffected vines in two or three other places, … Continue reading Taste the Rainbow →

False Police Report

I would be a lot better off if I could be vindictive or spiteful, because I have so much to be so about. Pastor Edd Wunderlich of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church is just one more pastor who has taken my loyalty and trust and stabbed me in the back with it. And yet I still … Continue reading False Police Report →

The Road to Libertarian Theology

You shouldn’t see and experience exactly the things I do, so we can also learn from each other, but we both should come to know enough about Him (God) to recognize when someone is faking it, telling us things about Him that aren’t true, not because they aren’t stated precisely the same way we say … Continue reading The Road to Libertarian Theology →

What’s Black and White and Smelled All Over?

It certainly isn't the skunks at Worlds of Fun. Tonight I saw two of the more than 10 skunks verified to be at the park, and have seen several of them over the course of the past several weeks, but I have yet to smell one of them (phew!) The skunks are in several places … Continue reading What’s Black and White and Smelled All Over? →

Stand Firm in your Freedom — Reconciling Ministries enslave.

There is a seamy side to the apparent openness of some United Methodist Churches, those who are part of their so-called "Reconciling Ministries Network" that I have unfortunately experienced, and intend to detail in this post and one or two more following posts. In this post I will mention some of the philosophical contradictions and … Continue reading Stand Firm in your Freedom — Reconciling Ministries enslave. →

My Crimes are most Curious

Michael Dunlap has very social, very non-Christian views of right and wrong. He deems my actions to be "inappropriate behaviour." This gives someone the impression of someone flashing someone in church, or other such indecent actions. But what are they? 1) Seeking the protection and sanctuary of the church during the worship service when threatened … Continue reading My Crimes are most Curious →

Just to clarify any wrong impressions …

Betsy and I are not seriously working to get back to Avondale United Methodist Church. As Betsy notes about the day I had the last phone call with Rev, Dunlap and Judy Everly, before I saw the letter that in no way reflected what we talked about, but was the "secretary's report" of the meeting … Continue reading Just to clarify any wrong impressions … →
