The Wired Wanderings of a Postmodern Pilgrim
The other day I led a bible study not using my MacBook Pro – I’m having some battery issues. The people around the table looked at me and asked, “Where’s your laptop?” I said I was going to led the Bible study old school – paper and a book. Good to know there is tech […]

I can’t believe it – no podcast since August? Well, here’s a new podcast and more to come in the next two weeks. As I said in the previous post, 99 Balloons is a powerful video and once you see it, you can’t get it out of your head but for the best of reasons. […]

The goal is to get pastors and worship planners to contribute sermons, worship service elements, music, and media resources that will be indexed and available by subscription.

Finally, a new podcast. You would think in between trying to find a new call, selling a house, and doing the HGTV home improvement thing, I could squeeze in more podcasting time! In light of my son’s 18th birthday, here’s some reflections on reality show, YouTube, and the spiritual journey that might make me sound […]
Between Itune store recommendations and Slacker.com’s similar artist lists, I have enjoyed discovering new artists. Regina Spektor is a new fav and “Samson” is one of those haunting songs of heartache that ends up in the closing moments of “CSI” or “New Amsterdam” (another new fav). The cool thing about “Samson” is that it really […]
