(Still) Going to Graceland: November 2012
http://stillgoingtograceland.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 3, 2012. Before the World Wakes Up. And I realized this is what I've been missing. We've settled in a new town, a new job and a new house, and we are marvelously in love with all of them, but something has been missing. It's been a madhouse of busyness as we've gotten settled and had company and, and, and. and I've missed having a chance to wander around with eyes open in holy wonder. Turns out there was nothing "ungodly" about the hour. Sabbath in the Suburbs. View my complete profile.

SouthMinister's Musings: April 2009
http://southministersmusings.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Sermons and other ideas from the pastor of Southminster Presbyterian Church in Boise, Idaho. Sunday, April 26, 2009. Books and their Covers. A Sermon preached at Southminster Presbyterian Church. April 27, 2009. We do it all the time. When we’re judging THINGS because of their packaging, that is one thing. We’re usually the ones to suffer for bad judgment—occasionally a great book cover doesn’t mean a great story on the pages. Whether or not you’ve seen it already, I invite you to pay particular at...

Sermons and other ideas from the pastor of Southminster Presbyterian Church in Boise, Idaho. Thursday, December 24, 2009. Count and Be Counted. A Christmas Eve Meditation from. I may have told you this before, but I am a fan of irreverent Christmas Cards. Like this one, with Jesus singing “Happy Birthday to Me”. But they didn’t have a room. And then the angels announce the birth of the Savior. But they don’t post it on Twitter or CNN.com. Katie Couric doesn’t get the scoop on the ...But these shepherds a...

SouthMinister's Musings: Christ the King
http://southministersmusings.blogspot.com/2009/11/christ-king.html
Sermons and other ideas from the pastor of Southminster Presbyterian Church in Boise, Idaho. Monday, November 23, 2009. A Sermon preached at Southminster. November 22, 2009. Psalm 18:1-6, 16-19, 46-50. But this language can be uncomfortable for those of us who don’t give power to earthly kings. What does it mean for us to declare Christ as King? And to more than declare it—what does it mean for us to live as if that is true? If ideology was behind his horrible actions, then I would argue he should have j...

The place where Marci blogs about God's abundance. Sanctity of the Wedding Mill. October 20, 2014. Donald and Lynn Knapp are licensed ministers in the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. Which is great and all. They also own a wedding business in City of Coeur D’Alene that illustrates how sacred marriage is by removing it from the church and putting it in a for-profit business called The Hitching Post. They claim to have married roughly 35,000 couples. Now that the State of Idaho is recognizin...

(Still) Going to Graceland: I Have a Dream
http://stillgoingtograceland.blogspot.com/2013/11/i-have-dream.html
Friday, November 22, 2013. I Have a Dream. Arkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. (Martin Luther King, Jr.). Probably someone will tell me I'm wrong too. Somehow dreams are like that. One person's dream threatens another's comfort. But still I have a dream. Stood for is in jeopardy. We are even fearful that grace is too extravagant, and that some how, it must be for only perfect people. I have a dream that we might be Christians Who G...

Sermons and other ideas from the pastor of Southminster Presbyterian Church in Boise, Idaho. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. A Sermon preached at Southminster Presbyterian Church. Where is God in victory and defeat? That’s the question I see in this text and I’ve noticed again and again as we’ve read the Old Testament. Is God with us when we succeed? Is God angry with us when we fail? And is God angry with us when we fail? Most Christians don’t blame entire subgroups of humanity for natural disasters&...

A Sermon preached at Southminster, Dec. 13, 2009. Before we can get to the sweet baby born in a manger, we have to deal with John. People are coming from all over to be baptized by John at the Jordan River. Every church dreams of people coming from all over the county to be baptized, right? And what would we say to those who came to join us? I imag...
