The Cross or the Golden Arches?
I remember reading somewhere that the most common symbol in the world used to be the cross until it was displaced by the golden arches of Mcdonalds. I have no idea if that is a “fact”, but for me it connects with an interesting question. The symbol of the cross is ubiquitous – once you […]

We’ve been off the radar for a little while now, so we apologize for the lack of online communication during that time! We’re up and running again now and we’re putting the pieces of our site back together. Keep in mind, the disruption in online communication does not reflect upon our real life community that […]

Today my son Tirian and I had a collision. He was riding his bike, and I was standing near where he was riding. I thought he was going one way, he thought I understood he was planning to go the other and would get out of the way. He ploughed into me going full tilt. […]

Wow! I’m impressed with how many folks have been making it out to our Monday night gatherings over the course of the summer. We might not be a community that is mighty big, but we are a group that shows it is committed in other ways. Thanks for making our gatherings a priority, even in […]

A few years ago, Zee and I took a trip to Italy; which included a 10 day road tour through Italy and Sicily with a car we rented in Rome. Before we left on the trip, I purchased a GPS that we came to fondly call “Nuvi”. There were times when Nuvi seemed to take […]

I saw a movie a number of years ago called “Inherit the Wind.” It was an old movie with old movie stars like Spencer Tracy and Gene Kelly who played Southern lawyers defending a educator accused of teaching Darwinism in the 1920s. Darwinism was a touchy subject then, it was a touchy subject in the 1960 […]

And just to make it more confusing, this Monday’s service will start a bit later than the Monday services to follow. So here’s the plan: Coffee and […]
