Twenty Days
Yep. That long since my last post. I think it may be time to put up or shut up. Seems like too many blogs are closing down and the pros are taking over. They are consolidating, I guess. What have I been doing the past twenty days? Working. Preaching. Administering the sacraments. Playing with my fish tank. Writing some fiction. Getting the kids ready for school. Lamenting my girth and trying to figure out a good time to get back to the Y … Read entire article »

Ack! No Posts
I’ve already fallen down on the job of posting something every day. Alas. We are madly finishing the kitchen remodel so as not to have it hanging over our heads any longer. Days away, yet within shooting distance. Later I’ll prepare a more substantive post. … Read entire article »

Pictures
My goal of including more family pictures is falling on its neglected little face, but I have been including all kinds of other photos in the posts. In case you are interested, I have been getting them free, clean and legal from stock.xchng. You have to sign up for a free account, and some photographers and artists put restrictions on their work, but it is a great searchable site for stock. … Read entire article »

New Ambitious Goal!
I’ve got a hankering to update this blog daily. Some of the posts may be short or sometimes it may just be a link to another site, but I’m doing it and plan to keep it up as long as possible. On that note, too, how’s the new format working for you? Do you like it? Is it distracting or annoying? What other changes would you like to see here? … Read entire article »

Blog Update on Church Father Sermons
I realized that I hadn’t posted any excerpts from the Church Father’s sermons lately, but I have a good reason. I’ve been preaching a sermon series on The 10 Commandments, so I haven’t been referring much to my Fathers’ resources of late. I’ve been trying to use the lectionary readings as texts as much as possible, though honestly a few of the sermons have only referenced them in a vague kind of way. The series ends next week, and I will return to my regular lectionary preaching, so too, the Church Fathers will have a chance to speak to us again here as well. That is, if this still interests you. … Read entire article »

Changes to the Blog
Just a brief post to let you know that I’ve decided to add some personal pictures to the blog. The last post was updated, in case you actually happened to read it already. … Read entire article »

All Fixed Now
Thanks to the friendly people at my hosting site, I was able to fix the problems with blog. I won’t go into the nitty-gritty details here, but let’s just say it was a rogue .htaccess file and some unruly permalinks. If that makes sense to you, then you probably know more than I do. If you have links to any particular webpage of mine that you know of, you may want to double-check that and make sure it still links to the proper page. Thanks, Your Friendly Neighborhood Blog Admin Guy … Read entire article »
Winding Down and Poll Question
Midweek is officially over now, and the choirs gave their Ascension Day Concert, which was absolutely lovely. To brag on my wife: the Jubilate Choir (children) are fantastic! That group of singers has blossomed under her direction. I’ve got a talented and beautiful bride, that’s for sure. It’s hard to believe that as anxious as I am for all the activities to end, in a few short weeks I’ll be chomping at the bit to start again, looking forward to the beginning of the new school year, to the choirs and classes here and so forth. One thing that I don’t intend to wind down on is blogging here, though at last check maybe it already has! I know I’ve been writing this for the last six months, but I hope to … Read entire article »
Things I Do to Stay out of Trouble
Apparently my Easter sabbatical needs to be over. A couple of people I had no idea read this asked me what was happening here and when I would post again. I guess I have six readers instead of the four I thought I had. But their remarks got me thinking about the blog. It’s gone through quite a few changes since I started it. From obscurity to almost-obscurity, from WordPress to Blogger and back to WordPress–and back to being a pretty quiet corner on the ‘net. For a time I was working hard to make it more popular, and it worked when I posted controversial things, but I found it juvenile to chase ratings and hits, so I stopped. Readers left, too. Ce la vie. So where is it going now? What … Read entire article »
