Saturday Ramblings 6.12.10

What a wild and wacky week it’s been here at the iMonastery! You all have kicked up quite a bit of dust–which means we have some cleaning up to do. So if you will pardon me, I will get the broom and dustpan to sweep up the leftover Saturday Ramblings. You may have heard that [...]

Sailing In Deep Waters

If I had a boat I’d go out on the ocean And if I had a pony I’d ride him on my boat And we could all together Go out on the ocean Me upon my pony on my boat Lyle Lovett, If I Had A Boat The walls of college dorm rooms, at least [...]

Saturday Ramblings 6.5.10

My, what a fun week it’s been here at the iMonk ranch. We have been busy little beavers, and have left quite a mess around the place. So if you will indulge us for a bit, we will gather up all of the loose bits and toss them in the box we call Saturday Ramblings. [...]

Saturday Ramblings 5.29.10

IM Book Review: The Complete Psalms

So the first question we must ask is: Do we really need another new translation of the Psalms? If you are a scholar looking for word-for-word accuracy or you are going into philology, then Pamela Greenberg’s The Complete Psalms: The Book of Prayer Songs in a New Translation is definitely not for you. But if you [...]

Saturday Ramblings 5.22.10

Thanks to Adam Palmer for filling in for me last week as I was away. But now I have returned from the wilderness … of the Colorado Rockies. Not the baseball team, but the actual mountains. It snowed more than a foot where I was. Do they understand the concept of springtime in Colorado? We [...]

Update From The Publisher

Occasionally I need to step out from behind the publisher’s desk and visit with those who matter the most: you all, our readers. Well, I don’t actually sit behind a desk, unless you count the table I often commandeer at Cafe Fusion in Tulsa my desk. But I think you know what I mean. I [...]

Pursuit Of Happiness?

Editor’s note: Joe Spann will be contributing to our iMonk community from time to time. He previously wrote about our Dangerous God. Joe is not a “professional Christian,” simply a follower of Jesus learning as he goes. And for the record, I am the “friend” who asked the question that got this whole topic started–Jeff [...]
