PostHumous Book Review: Station Eleven: Remaining Human after Doomsday. Personal reflections on books worthy of a re-read. Read the intro article. Today's review is by guest writer Joe Johnson. At first glance, Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven: A Novel. Belongs on the same well-trodden path as other it’s-the-end-of-the-world tales, like Stephen King’s formidable, The Stand. Or George Stewart’s Earth Abides. Was beautiful,” as I finish it, yet Station Eleven. Commented, “ Station Eleven. To Kirsten,...

PostConsumer Reports: Speaking the Truth in Love—A Sermon From Ephesians 4:1-16
http://www.postconsumerreports.com/2015/08/speaking-truth-in-lovea-sermon-from.html
Speaking the Truth in Love—A Sermon From Ephesians 4:1-16. This sermon was preached on August 2, 2015 at Epiphany Anglican Mission. We will go back and link some of the bigger ideas to this one concept, but our main focus will be on this one difficult task. It is a great sentiment, speaking the truth in love, but how to actually do so is quite the undertaking. Or are in fact doing something that is wrong. When it comes to giving out criticism. Speak the truth to someone in person for fear of rejection or...

My long time friend and local pastor. The Time Traveller’s Wife. Taught me the secret to loving someone who consistently falls short of the person you want them to be.

PostConsumer Reports: The Moment I Began to Lose Faith in Contemporary Worship Music
http://www.postconsumerreports.com/2015/07/the-moment-i-began-to-lose-faith-in.html
The Moment I Began to Lose Faith in Contemporary Worship Music. It was strange how it happened, the time I began to lose faith in contemporary worship music. It began during the weekly process of selecting the songs for worship at the church I was serving at. To my surprise Jay, our pastor, despite all my protestations and reasonings would not let me (us) do the song in our church. He did not think it was a good idea for our congregation and he had his reasons. I am the kind of person who is deeply inves...

PostConsumer Reports: "I've been thinking of getting into politics...": N.T. Wright's Understanding of the Kingdom of God
http://www.postconsumerreports.com/2014/02/ive-been-thinking-of-getting-into.html
I've been thinking of getting into politics.": N.T. Wright's Understanding of the Kingdom of God. Anyone who knows me knows that I really try to avoid talking about politics. I just wanna minister to people and make art n' stuff, you know man? But really my disassociation with politics also stems from being more concerned with how the Church as a body should behave morally and ethically. So yeah, down with politics! And all that, because I'm a Christian and the Church don't need no politics! To be clear,...

PostConsumer Reports: What Marc Maron's Interview With President Obama Means
http://www.postconsumerreports.com/2015/06/what-marc-marons-interview-with.html
What Marc Maron's Interview With President Obama Means. I have let it be known before that I am pretty skeptical of any and all politics and politicians. Be they right, left, or independent I do not think they have merited much of a reason for me or any of us to trust them. I mean really, in a post-Nixon world, will we ever be able to believe in politicians again, believe they are in reality the kind of person they said they are, believe they will do what they said they will do, and believe why. But what...

Ham Family Happenings: Monday Update from the Hams
http://hamfamilyhappenings.blogspot.com/2010/02/monday-update-from-hams.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. Monday Update from the Hams. Sorry it has been so long since we've had time to update. Our days here have been very full! I really feel like the details of our meeting were ordained by God. But also, it was one of the most difficult things emotionally. Eric and I just wept and so did all of her family as we said goodbye. Meseret, Hana's mom, and her older brother and sister all live in a very small little dirt floor room ( maybe 6 x 8 ft? That's all for now. Love to you all!
