    I was a bit dispirited. I had just met with a couple from my congregation who told me they were looking elsewhere for a church. One of their grievances was that I talked and preached too much about prayer. I thought about that. Was I harping on prayer? In our conversation the couple had […]

    It is striking to notice the contrast between the prayer typical of most of us and the prayer exemplified in the pages of Scripture.  It seems that the mainstay of the prayer diet of the believer involves matters related to self.  A main course of petitions, side expressions of thanks, sprinklings of praise, a […]

    George Lucas need not feel threatened.   The grandiose special effects that stir the viewer in his Star Wars movies are in no danger of being overshadowed.  What you see is little more than a talking head, not dissimilar to a hatless Elmer Fudd.  His torso is shown but it’s difficult to discern wearing a […]
