Here are a few pictures taken with my iPhone on my early morning walk
This morning Marlene and I are on our way to Michigan for a week at Gull Lake Ministries. As the name implies, the conference lies on the shore of a body of water that National Geographic called one of the premier inland lakes in the nation. Starting in 1897 Christians met on this beautiful spot for summer camp. In 1920 it became an interdenominati…
Several weeks ago I wrote about Jamie Mitchell’s bold prayer at the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Today Jamie updated the story on his blog. Not only did some members not like his prayer, they protested so strongly that the Speaker of the Pennsylvania House issued a new policy:1. All prayers must be submitted and approved in advance.…
Here’s a story from Perth, Australia sent along by my friend Pat Sullivan. Seems that someone stole a python from a wildlife center in Perth. The thieves no doubt thought they had made a clean job of it, but the snake did not cooperate. The six-foot long python swallowed a woylie, which this article describes as an endangered marsupial.

Last summer I had the pleasure of spending a week with Jim and Mary Kay Altizer at Cannon Beach Conference Center. Besides being an absolutely delightful couple, they are extremely gifted worship leaders. Together they have released a variety of CDs under the title Ivory and Brass. I like their music so much that I put it on my iPod so I can listen…
A man never knows when his job is done partly because he never really knows what his job is. He gets one message from watching TV, another message by hanging out with his friends, a third message from his job, he hears something else when he goes to church, and he tries to make it all work when he goes home. In my case I’ve tried to mak…
