Oh no! Another Preacher..
Yes, another preacher.
But this one is at war against religion. It’s a gentle war, to be sure- one based on questions, more questions, a sense of humor, and a low tolerance for the word-spitting of con artists- but it is a battle against that which, more than any other factor, has brought the world to the edges of a nuclear disaster and an environmental meltdown. It is therefore, a fight worth fighting, and these pages are simply one more rock I can pick up and throw at straw dogs along the way.
“The First Morning” is my acknowledgment that each morning, each moment is a part of God’s Continuing Creation. Each morning, each moment, demands that our understandings of God grow larger, even as the Mysteries about God grow deeper. This morning, the newest first morning, means that the opportunity to begin again is always with us.
Blessings, David

(I’m in a small town in North Central Texas, about 50 miles northwest of Fort Worth. The cowboys here wear spurs, real functioning ones. I’m not a cowboy.)
the question is - will you in time become a cowboy?
Yes. It will happen right about the time that you get up every morning at 6 a.m. and prepare a hardy breakfast for me.
David,
It is not gentle. When people say they are christian. Then laugh at you for going to prison, or praying during lunch. How about the middle east?
Question — Are you a preacher or a minister? A lot of people call themselves a lot of things but what does God call you?
Interesting site. Yes there is much allegedly Holy BS out there. But like the people that find counterfeit money, we need to concentrate on what is true and the false will be easy to see. I’ve put you in my blog surfer. You are welcome to drop by some time. http://abbagod.wordpress.com
Are you familiar with the Texas Faith Network? You should be a part of it.
I can answer JP’s “Question — Are you a preacher or a minister? A lot of people call themselves a lot of things but what does God call you?”
Having come to know and love this man of God, having laughed and cried when he “preached” and having seen him minister…I call “a seeker and a teacher!” I’m confident that God calls him “a friend, disciple and steward!”
I also am from a small town in Texas, where the cowboys
traded their spurs for drugs not far from you maybe 70 miles. I moved away to save my children and put them in a better environment, But the evil is moving upon us I would estimate that if there is not a change, the area I live in now in Alabama in 10 years will be in the same degenerate condition. Terrorism is nothing compared to
Drugs.
I came upon your blog by mistake..a mis-stroke at the dashboard. I love your measured, respectful tone when talking about others and I love that you view the world with such sense of awesomeness and beauty. That has not been my general experience when interacting with people committed to a god as a calling. I find them typically judgemental, angry and scared. Thanks for opening up my world a bit and making me question my judgements, expectations and assumptions. Have a great day!
