An atheist who doubts evolution and a request for website feedback

Howdy, everyone! I hope your Sabbath has begun well. In the Friday Night Greetings, below, I ask for some feedback on the local website here: what you think of the visual theme, what you think of other themes such as those for the congregations in the “Blogroll” section, what you’d like to see on the […]

Post-Thanksgiving Night Greetings!

Howdy, everyone! Tonight’s video is a little light fare after a day of heavy eating. 🙂 Hopefully none of you ventured into “gluttony” territory, yesterday! For my part, I did pretty good; the closest I came to that mistake was, I think, the extra cookie or two I ate for dessert. It was a wonderful […]

Straight out of Dubuque!

My apologies for some very late Friday Night Greetings tonight. Not only are they late here, where it’s about 10:30-ish Central Time, but they are certainly late for most of you where it is 11:30-ish Eastern Time.

Under Construction!

My apologies that the site is a bit topsy turvy. I am working on using a new theme and it’s taking some work. The links you need and the history of posts should still be accessible.

The Feast is over, but the Work continues!

Howdy, everyone! I hope you had a marvelous Feast of Tabernacles and that you have returned with renewed focus and determination to seek God more than ever! Though the Feast is over, our work as God’s people continues, and He desires that we give ourselves over to it with passion and fullness of heart. As […]
