(Ana)baptist pastor of a small-town rural Church. Love God, Love people. This sums up the law and the prophets.
My daughter decided to start taking piano lessons this summer from a professional, and didn’t wait to dive in to trying to make her own music. So this is her little bit of original work.
As I am studying Colossians 1:15-23, an unintended potential thread has popped into my head. If Jesus is the one who holds all things together, and he sustains everything physical and spiritual…
Children cannot help but be offended if their parents have secret snack stashes, even if those children have Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, vanilla ice cream, and italian ice for their own options.
Politics is a cruel god that demands we celebrate the death of our enemies.
Grilled onions and peppers, chili, cheese. Sometimes a dab or two of Louisiana hot sauce in the chili too.

I just realized that Platner looks like Mark Driscoll with a bushy mustache and beard, and now I can’t unsee it.
This is what scares me the most about having a daughter who looks like she could be an immigrant. She has severe allergies and dietary restrictions. Even one day in ICE custody could be devastating or lethal. It wouldn’t matter if we found out where she was held, took her birth certificate and

If you could change one thing in your life today, what would it be?
Russell Moore is right. Christian Nationalism is just the prosperity gospel on a national scale. Instead of believing it about the individual, it believes it about the collective.
Graham Platner isn’t Donald Trump. But he is proof that Democrats might just be willing to elect someone like Donald Trump if it meant winning. And no, that’s not a good thing.
Told my wife today that Qatar is pronounced Cutter and she didn’t believe me.
Is Megyn Kelly going to hell? Well, I don’t know why she’d want to go to Heaven since there are Haitians there and she can’t elect someone to kick them out.
No Amazon Recommendeds, I don’t want to read Mere Christendom by Doug Wilson. Eww.
As I’m going throw bleak falls barrow and just finished fighting the giant spider holding Arven captive, it just occurred to me that the three desiccated corpses in the room that all have lockpicks as their loot, might have been designed that way to show they are thieves that got caught by spiders.
This is one of those messages that seems like a gotcha. It’s not entirely without a point. But it overlooks the actual issues at play here. If Starbucks was a place where people worked with children for long periods of time, you would see just as many predators trying to get hired as you do…
It was a choice to make all of Jarl Balgruuf’s children little psychopaths.
Red curry pork for dinner. Not my first choice, but the green curry paste is now impossible to get at my Walmart. Meh.
Supporting Platner doesn’t make you the same as someone who supports Trump today. It does, however, make you the same as someone who supported Trump in 2015.
C.S. Lewis believed that Hell was locked from the inside. That all who go there choose it and prefer it to Heaven.
My daughter’s nickname in middle school is her initials. Which she thought was cool. Until she found out that my nickname in high school was also my initials, which are the same as hers. Now it’s not so cool.
Egg fried rice is a perfectly acceptable breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner.
You know you are talking to a teenager when they say that the sailors yeeted Jonah into the ocean.
Pulled up my lettuce and spinach today and put down my tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.
As I’m looking at Jonah for my sermon on Sunday, I’m struck with a thought. If God called you to go proclaim judgment upon Trump and Maga, and you know that means they might repent and be forgiven and blessed by God; would you run away like Jonah did?
