5.) Bradley Hathaway - A Thousand Angry Panthers...
It’s a weird feeling when you feel disappointed about an album that has made your top 5 albums of the year, but Bradley Hathaway has once again proven that he can stir emotions in me that I haven’t felt in years. Its not a bad album by any stretch of the mind (to say album is a bit misleading, this is a 4 song EP), its just not the myriad of emotion that I’ve come to love from...
Top albums
So… I was going to start today with putting one up per day, making it a top 5, but already today has come and gone. I’m already realizing there’s a lot of albums from some favorite bands of mine that I haven’t even listened to yet this year, Sufjan’s Age of Adz and Woven Hand’s The Threshingfloor come to mind off the top of my head. I’ll try to put my...

It’s interesting, ever time I get to the end of these scripture, they have 4ish questions or challenges for me dealing with them, and I pick one to post on here. The first one was to read Genesis, then go create a snow man! I have to admit the idea gave me a chuckle, and I might have to do it later tonight, but on to this question. Admitably, the question scared me a bit, but I think...
Genesis 1, Isaiah 1:18, Psalm 51:1-10
The Creation
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.4 God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light day, and the...
What does each name of Jesus mean to you...
I’ve recently been hearing a lot of songs that include the Isaiah 9 piece of scripture, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, His name shall be upon the government. I think something I have missed, and it was the same mistake the pharisee’s made, is the knowledge of these names, these characteristics of Christ on a personal level. The pharisee’s thought the Messiah was going to...
Isaiah 9:6-7, Revelation 19:1-16, 1 Timothy...
6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and...
Discuss with friends or family or journal about...
Today’s question and scripture is interesting. It details the tabernacle, and the ark which it was carried around in. When I’ve done studies over the past couple of years which deal with reading over the entire Bible, this was one of the parts that I always glazed over. Note that I say one of the part, you know, like in Genesis where they give the geneology, what’s with that...
Exodus 25
Offerings for the Sanctuary
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,2 “Tell the sons of Israel to raise a contribution for Me; from every man whose heart moves him you shall raise My contribution.3 “This is the contribution which you are to raise from them: gold, silver and bronze,4 blue, purple and scarlet material, fine linen, goat hair, 5 rams’ skins dyed red, porpoise skins, acacia...

What is the real point of giving a gift? How is...
More on these questions when I’m not running late for work! Haha. Just though I would post them for anyone who’s following along.
Acts 20:35, 1John 4:10
35 “In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Why do you think Jesus refers to His followers as...
Am I being a light to the Gospel in all my relationships? I think this is the challenge and constant reminder. I have an idea for Christmas this year, that might make gift giving a bit more of a light shining experience, but because my sister and fiancée read this, I’m not going to tell. Its nothing big, but I don’t want to get totally wrapped up(pun intended ha!) in just giving gifts...
Mathew 4:12-17, Isaiah 9:1-3, Mathew 5:14-16
Jesus Begins His Ministry
12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;13 and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.14 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali , By the way of the sea , beyond...
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be...”

Who do you think was blessed more? You the server...
If truly, as Jesus says, that if you wish to be first, you must be last and servant of all, then its the server who is blessed. It reminds me of the beatitudes(Mathew 5:3-11), which Jesus tells us of whom the blessed truly are. If you notice, its all of those who are the least, the weakest, the one’s who are at the bottom. Poor in spirit, Mourning, meek, hunger and thirst for righteousness,...
Mark 9:33-37
33 They came to Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He began to question them, “What were you discussing on the way?”34 But they kept silent, for on the way they had discussed with one another whichof them was the greatest.35 Sitting down, He called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”36 Taking a child, He set him before...
Advent
I’m currently doing a Christmas reading plan via youversion.com which includes journal topics etc. I think I’ll post the scripture reading and the questions here and post my thoughts and reflections on them.
“God, give us tears for our sins. Forgive us for being so shallow in prayer, so...”

Christmas has devoured Advent and washed it down with a fine seasonal ale.
It is no surprise to anyone that lives here in Chicago when I say that our culture tells us it is Christmastime. I’m thinking back to our gatherings last year, as the Sunday after Thanksgiving I lead our people in singing…
What a great reminder.
Also a side note, I miss this church immensely.
