Welcome to the holiest of all holy days edition of Saturday Ramblings. What is this holy day, you ask? Daytona 500 Eve? No. Land Run Day? No. The birthday of Will Rogers, the patron saint of Oklahoma? No. Today is the annual Holland Hall Book Fair. By the time most of you are reading this, [...]

Another Look: Circle Or Cross?
23 Feb by
Lent 2012: A Journey through the Wilderness Circle or Cross? (Jeff Dunn) • • • This is an essay from 2010 where I look at the unevenness and disorganization of the cross. As we enter into this Lenten season, our focus must be on the cross, and not on ourselves. This essay owes much to [...]
Saturday Ramblings 2.18.12
18 Feb by
Sigh. Just when you try to do something right, the world intrudes all over your good intentions. I had decided earlier in the week that today’s ramblings would be Ed Young, Jr- and Mark Driscoll-free. And darn if they don’t both go and get themselves into the news once again. So I figured, “What not [...]
Chaos And Grace
16 Feb by
When Chaplain Mike sent me an email last week proposing a “grace week” on InternetMonk, I was excited. Nothing brings out the boxing gloves like the topic of grace. As I’ve said before on these pages, Michael Spencer and I only talked about one thing more than our beloved Cincinnati Reds, and that was the [...]

Welcome to the Valentine’s Day edition of Saturday Ramblings. We want you to be our valentine. (I have no idea what that means. Just seems the thing to say.) Sorry, we have no chocolate to share. Well, ok, we suppose we could offer you some chocolate-covered Ramblings. Rambler Adam Palmer found this story about the [...]
The Coming Collapse Of Excessive Evangelicalism
9 Feb by
I first came to know Michael Spencer following his posts on the Coming Collapse of Evangelicalism, brilliant pieces that stirred no end of controversy. (Not that Michael ever let a bit of controversy bother him.) I want to start off these thoughts of mine by quoting Michael from his post: I’m not a Prophet or a [...]
Saturday Ramblings 2.4.12
4 Feb by
Welcome to the Superb Owl version of Saturday Ramblings. Yes, we are still waiting for the NFL to declare InternetMonk as the official blog of pro football. Until then, we cannot refer to the big game this weekend by its proper name, so we will go with the suggestion of one of our own writers, [...]
Some Music Observations
2 Feb by
I am a music man. Always have been. I remember listening to my mom’s Elvis and Buddy Holly 45s on an old portable record player. (If you didn’t understand a word I just said, go ask your grandparents for an interpretation.) The first album I remember owning myself was Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron by [...]
Saturday Ramblings 1.28.12
28 Jan by
Your Rambler is in a better mood today. Oh, the Synonymous Rambler and I have been going round and round again, and yes, it was all my fault again (I think), but otherwise it has been a better week. Spring is in the air here in Tulsa (along with mold and polen), which means baseball [...]
Saturday Ramblings 1.21.12
21 Jan by
Your Rambler is in a bad mood today. I’m tired. I got two hours’ sleep after work Thursday night, then drove to Missouri to see my son graduate from Army Transportation School, then drove back home, only to have him want me to go look at a car with him. Which I am normally glad [...]
