    I greatly caution well-meaning pastors to not be naive when they tweet. And also to avoid words and phrases like "harlot" and "soft evangelicals."

    Happy book birthday to and ! I was privileged to review these book proposals some time back, and I wholeheartedly endorse the contents. Aw, heck, I'm rather fond of the authors too.

    will have another flight. Yes, plus today is the Super Bowl. My friend at church, Kansas-Bob, is rootin' for the Chiefs, as you'd expect. I'm not sure who my father is rootin' for, I've not asked. If he's anything like me, and he is, then he may not care much. He'd much rather

    Protestants in America were itchin to replace Catholic Candlemas, so now we have Groundhog Day (oh boy), like they were itchin’ to replace Native Americans in Centennial, so now we have outlet malls (oh brother). Sunshine and 70 degrees today. Yessir, storm’s comin’. Winter

    after which they could exit in peace, maybe pitch a tent up beyond the crud, somethin’. An old English song goes like this: “If Candlemas be fair and bright, Come, Winter, have another flight. If Candlemas brings clouds and rain, Go, Winter, and come not again.” Way back when,

    above average angels of my nature rises to remind me of the scriptural basis for this day, the presentation of the not long ago born Jesus to not long from now dead Simeon and Anna. Those two wonder-twins’d been playing end-game for years, waiting for the Consolation of Israel

    and wake up with trees in my eyes, and maybe in the high country an elk starin’ at me…—that is truly somethin’.” Of course today is also Candlemas, which my junkyard brain always translates as “more candle,” like “more cowbell,” and it does sorta mean that. But then one of the

    has something to do with this paragraph on the book’s final page: “I live in Centennial because at night, when I’m through workin’ I can jump into my pickup and be up in the Rockies inside of an hour —pitch my ten in Blue Valley up beyond the crud, beside a real stream of water,

    against with words but if I should lose myself along the way or God forbid lose all memory of him then that hardback book might help me find my way back to my father and in turn back to me, in other words, home. I don’t know why exactly I believe this, but I just do. Maybe it

    tonight and I had to dash about and grab what I could of keepsakes, I’d grab that copy of Centennial my father sent me for there is something of him in those pages which he struggles to articulate but it is there, and I know there is something of my father in me that I too strain

    “Only the rocks live forever.” Centennial is one of my father’s favorite novels. Seven years ago now he sent me a hardback copy plus the DVD set for my 46th birthday. He said, “I don’t know why I get so emotional over this story, but I just do.” Were our home to catch fire

    there in the wake of the 9am service with a sorrow over the world’s dark confusion. Bob’s words wobbled me, set my nerves jangling. I’ve always felt if nobody else knew what the hell exactly is going on at least the earth always would. As Gray Wolf said in Michener’s Centennial:

    Storm’s comin’. We should hit 70 degrees today (Sunday) along the Front Range and by mid-afternoon Tuesday be in the negatives a whackadoodle temp swing to be sure but one we’re getting used to around here like it or not. My friend at church this morning—Bob, K-State alumni,
