Which is better, do you think: to be the only blind person in a crowd of those who all see? Or the only One who can see in the crowd of those blind all their lives, never able to look past this very moment to the next which must follow? Jesus stops and goes out … Continue reading What a Blind Man Wants
Where Scattered Seed Grows
This is a terrible parable for preachers. As Jesus sees the crowds coming out, he knows full well how it goes. So much of what he does by his preaching won't ever start to bear fruit. Some takes root and sinks in, but not deep enough to survive through the heat of the day. Others … Continue reading Where Scattered Seed Grows
“I Choose to Give”

Still learning. Here's a stab at getting some audio up on Podbean and from there to the blog here. No, you won't have to listen to that whole song every time a new episode posts. Patience, kind readers. God knows I need some... This is me learning about GarageBand, riffing on an old Jim Carroll … Continue reading People Who Died, Alive
