Store
I have books, CDs, and a video series for sale from my store page. (I wish I could just give everything away, but one must eat!)
I’m especially excited about my new book, now available: My Burden Is Light: A Pastor’s Plea for Rationality, Honesty, and Humility.
About
Merry, Mystical Missives
Here you’ll find everything I’ve sent out to the mailing list for The Merry Mystic.
Every Two Seconds
I have just a short poem to share today.

P.S. Hey, if you’re moved to help, here’s one of my favorite ways: Action Against Hunger.
Letter to Washington
I’m usually more interested in spiritual things than in worldly things. But today, I just can’t separate the two, because I can’t ignore the stark contrast between the teachings of my faith tradition, and the statements and actions now coming out of the White House. I’ve written a letter to my senators and my representative, and I’d like to share it with you.

Meta
I received two questions this week about how I make my videos. I’m taking that as a sign that it’s time to do a meta-video: a video about how I make videos. Here, you’ll get a quick tour of the hardware, the software, and the production process I’ve been using, at least from the technical end.

From the creative end, of course, it’s a little more complicated. There’s a little hardware and software, but also a lot of wetware and spiritware. That’s hard to describe, because I don’t really understand it myself. Maybe I’ll get around to telling you about it next week.
Come and See
I wrote a song this week, a song inspired by a passage from the first chapter of the Gospel of John. Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Come and see …
These are the (mostly video) messages sent out to The Merry Mystic mailing list.
Sermons and Such
Every week, I preach in the Open Prairie United Church of Christ in Princeton, Illinois. I’m not sending most of these out to The Merry Mystic mailing list; but on the outside chance you’d like to see a sermon, here they are.
