Just a place for some conversation starters. Join me if you'd like! Sermon Starter for Advent 1. November 29, 2012. When I was in elementary school the swings were a pretty popular place to be at recess, but it wasn’t because it was so much fun to simply swing gently back and forth, like I might do today. It was more because we usually screwed around on the swings until somebody eventually got hurt. Every year at least one kid would get seriously hurt because of doing something stupid on the swings.

December 21, 2014 (Advent 4) | Preparing for Sunday
https://preparingforsunday.wordpress.com/2014/12/19/december-21-2014-advent-4
December 21, 2014 (Advent 4). December 19, 2014. This Sunday, I will be preaching from Luke 1:26-38 as we anticipate Christmas. The title of my sermon is “Let it Be with Me”. And yet, to embrace that promise is also to embrace the misunderstandings; the gossip, the slander that the people would spread about her, the unwed -yet pregnant- betrothed bride of Joseph, the carpenter with royal lineage.

Seeking balance in an unbalanced world. Brothers Trip – 2009. Chasing Comet Catalina, C/2013 US10. December 9, 2015 2 Comments. I think that should be enough rationalization to explain why we have been uncertain whether we have actually seen this little visitor from so far away this week. Oh, I did fail to mention that this comet is not very bright? On both days, it was very hard to see, fading in and out of sight as we looked through our binoculars. Did I mention that this is a binocular object? Leah co...

January 11, 2015. January 8, 2015. This Sunday, the story of the tower of Babel will kind of form the core of my sermon (Genesis 11:1-9). A good passage to reflect on in preparation for Sunday is Proverbs 2:1-5. The title of my sermon is “Babel (on and on and on)”. At Babel, God comes down and confuses their language. No longer able to communicate effectively, the people give up their project and go their separate ways. It’s interesting that God never commands them not to build the tower. It wa...But he ...

Seeking balance in an unbalanced world. Brothers Trip – 2009. A few additional photographs from the Music! August 30, 2007 at 12:45 pm. Hey, nice lighting, crisp photos. Thanks for sharing them. I sent the site on to Bruce and my kids. Helen. August 30, 2007 at 3:04 pm. Mic, can I get full sized copies of these photos? I really like them, and could use a few photos of us playing, if you wouldn’t mind. November 10, 2008 at 8:01 pm. Thanks so much for sharing them! Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

November 30, 2014. November 28, 2014. This Sunday, I will be preaching on Mark 13:24-37. My sermon title is “The Mystery and the Meaning of Life”, and a good verse to reflect on in preparation would be verse 31, which says “Heaven and earth will pas away, but my words will not pass away.”. This is the first Sunday of Advent, and it is also special because we will be doing two baptisms (which is quite fitting to begin the church year in that manner! November 16, 2014. December 21, 2014 (Advent 4). Novembe...

Just a place for some conversation starters. Join me if you'd like! November 18, 2012. Sometimes the most life-giving decisions I’ve made have been on the spur of the moment. When I started baking bread for sale while I was in Seminary, it took me all of an afternoon to make the decision, create some brochures, and start taking orders. It turned out well, and it was something I looked forward to every week. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public). Join 638 other fo...
