First post on new blogsite

This new blogsite is a simple attempt to separate personal stuff from my other blogsite.

Devotionals, sermons, and other Biblical research will be on the "Daily Devotional" site. I don't post there everyday, but normally a few times per week.

This site will include responses, opinions, rants, personal struggles, and the like. Unlike the other site, I'm not planning to do much advertising. Anyone can read them though.

I'm not planning to remove the personal stuff already on my other blogsite, but I may at some point in the future. Only if it seems like the right thing to do.

Why the Title?

 Several months ago, I wrote a personal "rant" on my other blogsite called "Baptist in a Pentecostal Wilderness." It was a rambling mess.

Right now, one of my great frustrations is living in a "Bible belt" area where (it seems like) most churchgoers are Pentecostal (Assembly of God, Oneness Pentecostal, snake-handlers; you know, the normal variety), and my theological and r...

Random Ramblings for 6/4

 It doesn't look like we'll get to see Jubal at all this summer. Even if we travel up there (which isn't far from my parents, so we probably will), he won't be allowed off the base and getting on base will most likely be incredibly hard. Looks like it's nothing but letters. Hoping to visit my parents in July, if we can get a good time scheduled with them to visit. __________________ Anyway, today is day 3 of VBS. We're doing it, special events are hard to deal with in this church due to competing narcissistic personalities. We only have 8 children, but they've all been there both days so far. Not really sure if a full week of events is worth it for 8 kids. As the old saying goes: "If ONE salvation comes out of it..." -- It's funny that Christians who hate pragmatism accept this phrase as reason to do all kinds of stuff. Then fully forgiven or forgotten if zero salvations come out of it. Probably the roughest thing I've dealt with as pastor ...
