God be with you, ’til we meet again

So, after a year of posting Preacher’s Kid, it’s time to say farewell. I have so appreciated the opportunity to share my occasionally tortured faith, to relive the sweet and bitter and in between insights and experiences of life and the aftermath of being the son of a preacher man. I have tried to share…
Christ not born on Dec. 25? ‘Merry Christmas,’ anyway
By
remims
Some insist it’s the “War on Christmas.” In some places of business, in some schools, in some government offices, saying “Merry Christmas” may bring you a scowl or even a reprimand. “Happy Holidays” is the politically correct thing to say. Some of my co-religionists sputter back, “But Jesus is the reason for the season!” and…
A Congress Carol? Dickens’ Scrooge listened, Washington is not.
By

It’s odd what convergences of thought an occur when you see a well-done, live theater production of “A Christmas Carol,” followed by seeing the politicians on CNN, yet again, blaming each other for not doing the most basic work they were elected to do. I experienced both this week, the first at a delightful community…
Was that lunch, or Our Lady of Cheddar and Christ in a chip?
By

Whenever I hear someone exclaim, “Christ on a crutch!” I usually point out there are at least a couple reasons the expression fails in the imagery department. First, scripture tells us he never had a broken bone. Second, if he had broken or even sprained a leg, don’t you think he might’ve healed himself? But…
On the ‘Dork Fish,’ the Origin of All Things and Cosmic Perspective
By
remims
I was puzzling over the mysteries of Creation vs. Natural Selection, Old Earth vs. Young Earth, and the perceived dividing lines between faith and science and the Origin of All Things the other day when I had an epiphany . . . from “Blue Collar Comedy Tour” standup Bill Engvall. Kinda put the whole cerebral…
Christmas 2011: The most wonderful time . . . to give, and live faith
By
remims
Christmas 2011 will not be, as the song assures us, “the most wonderful time of the year.” But for those who still have work and homes, enough to eat and warm clothes to wear in the depths of winter, it can be the most wonderful opportunity of the year – to reach out to our…
Gingrich: Historically ‘right’, but politically wrong on Palestine?
By
remims
Republican Party insiders have basically been telling anyone who will listen that in 2012, Democratic President Obama will become an one-termer. The consensus is that after three years of failed economic policy, continued high unemployment and foreign and domestic policy crises, the GOP could even put their iconic elephant on the ballot and beat Obama…
Baxter’s legacy: Dog, it’s God, spelled backwards
By
remims
I love dogs. I believe in the unconditional love and loyalty these furry companions give as a gift from God. Our relationship with these animals in unique and special. It goes beyond the rational and into the transcendent, even the spiritual. They know us in ways we do not understand; they seem to sense our…
Robbed at knifepoint, what he did after handing over his wallet
By
remims
Hey, I admit, I don’t quite know what to think of this one. Part of me, a big part, says this guys lives, even if he doesn’t identify it as such, the “Golden Rule.” He gave up both coat and cloak, walked the second mile, etc., all those biblical parable/analogies taught by Jesus Christ. Another…
