Happy Mother’s Day 2017! #mothersday

To mothers in the United States and around the world you have my respect and admiration. This is a time to recognize those who play the role of mother in various forms. Mothers are biological, adoptive, spiritual, surrogate and so much more. For some, this is a difficult time because of the nature of their relationships with their own mothers so I hope they have found someone to fill in. Grace and peace and love to you all.

Settling On Something

It’s hard to settle on something when you wanna experiment with everything. There are all sorts of cool things that are worth trying out and it makes it hard to decide on one thing you like above all else. Clothes, shoes, electronics, makeup, food and so much more are all things that make one curious and adventurous. There does come a time when you need to settle down and stick with something. It is worth it to see what is out there but you can’t do that for very long because the number of your days is growing shorter by the minute.

Oh, By The Way, It’s Friday

Happy Friday to you my blogging friends! Keep it going til quitting time.

A Encounter With Modern Christian Music This Morning

I was in a convenience store this morning and they had contemporary Christian music playing over the store sound system. I found myself with a bad taste in my mouth. What does that say about me? 

I believe sharing God’s love but that’s one way I would not do it. Misch of the music is repetitive and lacks some theological depth. 

I’m probably too old school in worship and music these days being an Episcopalian where we take a more sober approach to worship and outreach.
