Sunday, November 28, 2010. Road Trippin' with the Boy. Last week, we drove from Louisville to Chambersburg, PA to spend Thanksgiving with the Locke side of the family. Normally a not-so-ambitious undertaking, the drive is a beautiful tour through West Virginia and Western Maryland that takes about 8 hours. But this time, we had a complication.it was the first trip for our boy, just a week shy of 3 months old. The packing was excruciating: did we remember burp cloths? Do we have enough diapers? We ended u...

Saturday, October 30, 2010. I tell that story because reading Psalms has followed roughly the same trajectory for me as my relationship with the delicious green stalk. I have always gravitated to the epistles for their theological and didactic nature and to narrative because it so beautifully illustrates the unfolding of the message of the Word. But I'm not really one for poetry, and I had never really gotten into the book of Psalms. 6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy&...

|felix culpa|: What is Advent?
http://thegrovesblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/what-is-advent.html
Thursday, December 8, 2011. If you're anything like me, you grew up never really hearing the term, or only hearing it in the context of a wreath or a calendar of some type around Christmas. But Advent is so much more than that; it's a time to celebrate something we most often look upon as an inconvenience: waiting. Here's Dr. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, with a wonderful reflection on the meaning of Advent. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

|felix culpa|: February 2011
http://thegrovesblog.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 12, 2011. I haven't posted in a while because I'm going through one of those periods where I feel like there's nothing to post. Inspirational thought has left me for the time being, and there's no real news to report. Right now, it feels like we're somewhere in here:. We're just waiting, waiting, waiting. Something might be coming soon, but for now, we're still just standing in line. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. 169; 2009 felix culpa.

Thursday, September 29, 2011. Prayer Alert: Yousef Nadarkhani. I don't usually post things like this, but since hearing about this story yesterday, I have felt so burdened by this brother and fellow pastor. Please join me in prayer for him.

|felix culpa|: Being a Good Pastor
http://thegrovesblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/being-good-pastor.html
Saturday, May 21, 2011. Being a Good Pastor. Was exceedingly helpful for me as I close out my first month of being a pastor. Thanks to Jared Wilson for it. 10 Simple Things Good Pastors Say. 1 Please forgive me. Good pastors know they're not always (not usually? The smartest, most "spiritual" person in the room. They are zealous to give credit and acknowledge achievement and intelligence, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it encourages and empowers others. 4 Jesus loves you. But go...
