I couldn’t have been much older than 10 or 11 years old when my dad took me to a seniors’ tour tournament at Plum Creek GC in Denver. I don’t know if it was the Senior’s PGA or Open or some other tournament, but what […]
Running, Refugees, and Skittles – A short reflection on What is the What
Taking a step away from the daily readings, I felt something I needed to write about this morning. I was at the gym for my normal workout this morning and three things came together at once. I am reading a book called “What is the […]
Imago Scriptura 99 – Ecclesiastes 6 – Words
I love to read pretty much anything other than romance novels (I’m still scarred from having to take care of the romance novels section of a bookstore that I worked at in college). I don’t know how much I read in a day, but its […]
Imago Scriptura 98 – Proverbs – Center
Its been a quiet last nearly two weeks since I posted. Part of this is that I am working on a compilation of some of my images and reflections for a devotional book I’m working on and part of it is due to the strange […]
Imago Scriptura 97 – Proverbs 1 & 2 – Wisdom in the Square
I think the Lord is trying to tell me something about Wisdom. I seem to be hearing about it from several different corners. My favorite podcast, The Robcast, has Rob Bell starting a lengthy series going through the Wisdom Tradition in Scripture (Proverbs and Ecclesiastes […]
Imago Scriptura 96 -Psalm 148 – Playing with Yarny
I want to introduce you to Yarny. Yarny is the protagonist of one of my favorite video games I’ve played in a long while called “Unravel” – its a beautiful game with a beautiful story throughout. My kids and I have loved playing it and […]
Imago Scriptura 95 – Psalm 139 and 1 Corinthians 13 – Graffiti and Love
This post has not let me go. I have been thinking about the contrasts between these two passages for nearly the last week and it finally all clicked for me tonight. Nothing in partictular did it, but it just came together for me. Several days […]
Imago Scriptura 94 – Psalm 129 – Stems
A few mornings ago, I got out the package of blueberries I bought the day before to put into my yogurt and granola for breakfast. I admit that I had a twinge of annoyance as I started to take them out to rinse to see […]
Imago Scriptura 93 – Psalm 126 – Dreams
Psalm 126 begins, “When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed…” I get the sense as I hear these words and those that follow that the people are feeling like they are living in a sense of unreality. Their […]
Imago Scriptura 92 – Psalm 119b – Fitbits and Owen Meany
The last two days of daily readings have been going through the longest Paalm in the Bible – Psalm 119. The overall theme of this song is about God’s faithfulness as understood through God’s decrees and God’s word. One passage in particular stood out to […]
Imago Scriptura 91 – 1 Corinthians 4 and Psalm 109 – Stop the Cycle
Its not every day that the readings line up like they did today. Today, I was reading and heard the same thing in part of 1 Corinthians that I heard in Psalm 109. In both were the similar message…when cursed, our response is to bless. […]
Imago Scriptura 90 – 1 Corinthians 1-3 – Cleaning Out
I had the “joy” of spending a good portion of my day off today cleaning up after flooding in our garage and some water that got into our storage room. We had a crazy amount of rain the last few days and at one point […]
