E-book or Pulp? Hard to decide.
Electronic books or real pulp? I have gone back and forth on this subject. I was a Kindle early adopter, loving the freedom of buying and carrying books without any great effort. It also solved my bookshelf problem. After a while, I grew tired of having yet one more screen to look at and drifted […]
Feeling Overloaded?
I’m a GTD (Getting Things Done) geek and think David Allen’s approach to the stuff of our lives is the best. There are plenty of things I don’t get done in a given day, but at least I know what I’m not getting done. Yesterday’s New York Times has an article from him for all […]

How to Make a Sacrifice
The Psalm for this Sunday, Psalm 107:1-3, 17-22, is a testimony of praise in worship for God’s redemptive help, especially for Israel in the past as they rebelled and suffered in the wilderness. The psalmist called out for the congregation to give thanks to God, remembering that God was good and loving. Read the Psalm […]
Getting Bit by Impatience
Numbers 21:4-9 . . . but the people became impatient on the way. You can’t miss this phrase as you read through the OT text for this Sunday. It just stands out in the passage, more significant–and threatening–than the poisonous serpents. It stands out because it resonates so much with our impatience. It does with […]
