Okay, I may have really done it good this time. I just fired off a letter to the editor of the Albany Times Union in response to this piece written by Kate Gurnett. I proofed it as much as was safe in the short period I had to click [Send] before I changed my mind. [...]
O Holy Night.mp3 (disabled due to over-traffic… email me for a copy) Above is a link to the song that I did with the great Michelle Williams this morning for a special music piece at Loudonville Community Church. It’s an arrangement of O Holy Night that Point of Grace did on their first Christmas CD… [...]
I think I’ve found a new place to worship… Ok, seriously this isn’t a real church sign, but it sure does look good, doesn’t it? It’s courtesy of churchsigngenerator.com. The saying is my choosing, and I think it’s a little diddy I heard… probably at a church business meeting or something. It’s even funnier that [...]
Here’s a comment I left on Alissa’s blog recently in a discussion about what the “Emergent Church” is. For my non-Christian readers this kind of thing will probably baffle you for sure (it baffles me)… but, alas, this may very well be an interesting read: WarAxe says: Ask 10 people what makes a church emergent [...]
Yesterday afternoon I had a moment… I was sitting on the couch enjoying a Chardonnay and a Lean Pocket while watching news clips of shoppers trampling themselves to finish their Christmas shopping before noon… and I’m thinking to myself that all common sense has gone to pot.

I, too, will eventually crawl out of my dank shadows to partake of the great money exchange. I will endure the acrid smell of taxes generated by the friction of bills on palms and plastic in card readers (smells something [...]
Church is for punks… at least, that’s probably what Jesus would say (and I’d be the first to put it in red). As a shout out to all my homies-of-faith (especially in Terra Nova), I present you with a Fox News clip from a spot they did (19 July 2005) on the Underground Graffiti Church [...]
I was recently asked about the website Reasons to Believe found on my Jumps page. It prompted me to draw attention to it and to a great book written by the organization’s president, Dr. Hugh Ross. The book is available from Reasons.org and from Amazon.com. Hugh Ross talks on the words of scripture in the [...]
I know that I already posted this a couple weeks ago but that was with my previous blogging software and I whacked the previous database before I could import those postings over here… sooo… Here it is again: I am almost done with this book and it is great! No More Christian Nice Guy, by [...]
