October 2012 was a good month!It's always a little weird as I head into the fall months from a ministry perspective. For the past several years it's been well into the summer and my fall calendar was still pretty blank. Then the calls for a revival and a couple of other events roll in and I end up with a fairly busy fall.This year was no different. I taught an afternoon class on sharing your faith at an Ozark church (OHC), had a weekend event at the end of September in Piedmont MO, a week long revival in nearby Cape Fair, a Trunk or Treat event...

Why Pro-life/Pro-choice Doesn't Factor Into My Vote
Posted on 22:24 by Unknown
Okay, it's time to clear the air.Over the past many years, I've had opportunities to share with several people about why I don't use pro-life/pro-choice as a test on candidates. These have primarily been one on one exchanges with reasonable people that have asked. Most people are quick to make poorly informed decisions about my views because they would rather judge than ask.I know that some think that I'm a heretic of some sort, or perhaps a Christian that has lost my mind. I have never said that I think that abortion is okay. And yet, I am often...

Personal Progress
Posted on 08:22 by Unknown
I started the Month of October with a renewed will to drop some of the weight that I've put on over the past few years and to (once again!) begin to eat with good health in mind.I started the month with time exercising on the exercise bike every day, but that only lasted for a week on a daily basis, a second week on an occasional basis and ... yeah, that was pretty much it. I've been using the stairs at work and only used the elevator twice (out of habit). That usually amounts to 500-800 stair steps per day (that's due the 'tower' part of air traffic...

Out of Sorts
Posted on 07:31 by Unknown
Yeah, that's the way I've been feeling when it comes to blogging--out of sorts.I haven't even been reading blogs like I used to. I've been keeping up with my favorites, but not much more.I've started to write several times and decided not to post before completing the article. Although political posts and posts about social issues have been a part of my blogging in the past, I'm really trying not to be divisive here and to keep a few of my evangelical readers from leaving.I can certainly handle the personal criticism but would prefer not to continue...

I'm cheating today by simply directing you to another blog.For the record, I'm a registered Republican that will vote for a Democrat (again) because of many of the reasons in this post.John <>&...

Why Do I Write?
Posted on 10:33 by Unknown
It has been nearly four weeks since I've posted anything at Out of My Hat.I can't say that it's been because I've been too busy, although it has been a full month. Neither can I say that it's been because I haven't had anything to write about; there are always things to write about. I would use convenience as a part of my excuse as I generally carry a tablet with me now instead of my laptop and while I like the tablet for its size and convenience, I really don't care to write on it.In the end, I guess it comes down to just not being committed to...
