The Unspoken Cause of Auschwitz
Book Description Why have Christians been killing Jews for nearly 1800 years? Theanswer is in many of our homes, in a book that may be dusty and rarelyopened, or well thumbed. Churchgoers may hear it weekly. The causeclearly lies in the gospels of the New Testament. This knowledge and opinion is nothing new. Long ago […]
Dare To Share give-away
166 Dec. 22, 2023 Five years ago when Judy and I were contemplating starting up a shared home, I tried to find material on the subject. Finding very little that was helpful, I wrote my own book, called Dare To Share. Of course, I had a couple hundred copies run off for myself, most of […]
Hopefully, the worst day of the year.
166 Dec. 24, Let me explain. I think I’ve been to eighty-one Christmas Sunday worship services. And was thinking of attending one this morning. Within walking distance there are Pentecostal, Salvation Army, Roman Catholic and United Churches. I’ve been to all of them since we’ve moved here, four years ago. I know what will […]
Merry Christmas!
169 Dec. 25, ’23 It’s so good to be here, sharing my life with you. It makes me so much more than I would be if alone. Thanks for being here in the busy time. I made it through my existential theological ruminating, surviving enough to get to the good part of Christmas, the Presents. […]
Happy New Year?
170 Jan 3 I can’t recall facing a new year with more hope and yet, more trepidation. 2023 has introduced even more fears into our lives and few have lessened. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine looks to be permanent, now that international support is fading. There seems to be no doubt that the violence in […]
My Target Audience
171 Jan. 11, ’24 You might be tired of hearing about my new book, The Unspoken Cause of Auschwitz, and how it’s free on Amazon on Feb. 6. I do hope you’ll get a copy and give me a review. Doing the marketing for this has forced me to become clearer about some things. The first […]
Learning from Pain
April 15, 2023 Today is wonderful. Since my knee operation nearly six weeks ago, I’ve had more discomfort and pain than not. It’s completely controlled my life; simply no time or energy to do what my ‘soul’ needed. Survival was good enough. Today was different. I was comfortable enough to sit in my ‘office’ chair […]
Easter Sunday Plus One – Why Ruin Easter?
April 16, 2023 I’m sitting out back, reading a good book and sipping on fortified coffee. (Bolivar coffee liqueur is the ‘additive’). I’m whistling, echoing a bird who’s above me, singing his/her heart out. Maybe in anger or fear, but it sounds like joy to me. Ain’t life wonderful? And, as far as we know, […]
Prayers for Good Earth Day
April 23, 2023 · Yesterday was Good Earth Day. As I’m writing this, hundreds of people are at worship here in Kingston. There won’t be many churches that won’t share in one form or another, a community prayer for our Earth. They’ll pray that God might somehow fix things. These are good people, truly wanting God, […]
Belief and Worship versus Discipleship
June 17, 2023 I noticed an advertisement for a theological college a while back showing a group of students, deeply emersed in worship. They varied in ages and races and in different states of religious ‘involvement’. Some had eyes opened, gazing skyward, others with bowed heads. Some with arms raised, others not. The picture could […]
