The sun is shining, the holiday is ended, the world goes on this day after Christmas. I’m struck by the ordinary things of this day. Back to work, back to ordinary life and its ordinary chores, back to the truth of His love in giving us this life we lead. While I look forward to [...]

Merry Christmas
When He came into the world He didn’t look much like a king. Extraordinary in the middle of ordinary.Â
Ecce Agnus Dei
Let us rise and celebrate the birth of the Lamb of God. He is is born anew in all who believe this day, even as He was born unto Mary. We are called now to bring forth the Light into every region of darkness, so let us be on our way. Merry Christmas to  all.
Someone finally did it!
I have talked for years about doing it, but someone finally beat me to the punch: Fox News headlines 12/22/07 Man Nails Santa to 15-Foot Crucifix; Christmas Cards Read: ‘Santa Died for Your MasterCard’ I knew I should have got around to this earlier.

Not seeking what He would/could do for me, but my asking what I could/would do for Him. And Him always point to a preparation of….. final destination unknown. (But, we all know what [...]
We continue…
We appreciate everyone’s prayers as we continue to strive to walk in the Spirit. We have had our second service here in the house and we are officially “The River’s Edge Church” now, of course God doesn’t really care what we call a building, or a assembly of people. The only thing the Father is [...]
Emergent Church?
I saw a clip on the NBC nightly news tonight about the “Emergent Church” and it left me wondering what they were really emerging from. The young pastor they interviewed said he believed homosexuality was a sin, but that it didn’t need to be “preached” against. Okay, why can’t I just burn all the parts [...]
