Writings and Sermons
I woke up this morning, as I usually do, to NPR and the news. This morning I wasn’t completely sure a little time travel hadn’t been involved. The Pope resigning? But a quick check of the date (not April 1st) and other news sources (yep, the same thing) indicated, if not something completely new under […]
Read MoreThe lessons for Sunday can be found byclicking here. I worked most closely with Luke 9:28-36. Jesus brings Peter, James, and John up the mountain where Moses and Elijah appear as Jesus is transfigured. This is an inner circle of amazing flawed people. Which might be why Jesus picked them. (There will be a few […]
Read MoreLink: Dogs, cats, and love; a sermon for Epiphany 4 2-3-13 Summary of what I was saying and why: 1 Corinthians 13 is a passage we usually hear at weddings. I wanted a way to approach the passage and love that didn’t give everyone immediate wedding flashbacks, especially because not everyone is married. So, as […]
Read MoreThe lessons for Sunday can be found by clicking here. I worked most closely with 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. My dog does not appear in my sermons very often, but this week you get to hear about life with Griz, cats, and 1 Cor 12. And love. (There will be a few moments of silence before […]
Read MorePart Three: Other Preachers It’s hard to avoid this being a list of links. But I’ve found some preachers I enjoy and certainly would have appreciated something like this existing at several different points in my life.

Read MorePart 1: The what and the way At the end of July I set out to not only preach nearly every week, but to take time to review my own sermon. Inspired by something a friend said (and knowing that it isn’t reasonable to attend a preaching conference every year), I decided that this was […]
Read MoreVacation isn’t over yet! It’s only through some planning that I haven’t snuck back into office yet. (Okay, I’m not that much of a work-a-holic, but I have started twitching about my email inbox a couple of times.) Sunday’s Gospel was the Wedding at Cana and water into wine. Priest Jones talks about weddings and […]
Read MoreI’m on vacation, didn’t preach on Sunday, so no sermon to review. But, here’s some of the sermon’s I’ve read/listened to this week. (I really like preaching. Especially good preaching.) Bishop Rickel: I don’t know where to start. It includes the words Christology, Ecclesiology, talks about the ancient practices of Baptism, and works a Mary […]
Read MoreSermon Review Link:Epiphany Summary of what I was saying and why: Do you have to be noticed to do something big? This question, and the first two answers I may have tried to preach, have little to do with being a Christian.
