This past weekend, the tiny church that I attend in this little swath of the Midwest had a special meeting after Sunday’s worship with a member vote. We voted on adopting the following welcoming statement and identity as a church: Norwalk Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is an Open and Affirming congregation. Inspired by our […]

Get a “real” job
No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance, and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Once upon a time, I worked for years at a convenience store, starting there part time first and then eventually moving to full time since the job suited my needs.

Train – Sample Chapter of The Trickster
If you’ve read my blog, you know I have a serial novel The Magician…. or perhaps you don’t. Anyway, in one week it will release as a paperback novel over on the Zon. But you can also sit and read it here on the blog, or listen to a few chapters as audio files read […]
Be Curious. Ask Questions.
It’s just a simple tag, but to some in the tiny church I attend in my little swath of the Midwest, it means a great deal. Every year around the start of the school year, the church I attend blesses the students and staff that are in school. They also bless backpacks, praying that everyone […]

Too much has been done hatefully “in the name of Christ.” Wars have been fought, people have been persecuted, laws have been passed that oppress and marginalize… all in the name of Christ.

Calming the Noise
“If we’re adding to the noise…. Turn off this song…..If we’re adding to the noise… Turn off your stereo, radio, video” ~ Switchfoot “Adding to the Noise” Our world has a great deal of distractions.
