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.

Sheet music for “Turn to the Life” is available in the Free Stuff area here. There are three versions there: voice with piano, voice alone (as for a church bulletin insert), and a choral arrangement.
Break Our Chains
Here’s a new song about God’s signature move. It’s called “Break Our Chains.” Sheet music for “Break Our Chains” is available in the Free Stuff area here.
Who needs to have their chains broken today, and what should we be doing to help? Please leave a comment below.
Snow Day
No school today on account of snow — in our local public schools, and at Central Michigan University as well. Reminds me of another of those songs we used to sing when I was a boy. This was a parody of an old vaudeville and music hall song:
Ta ra ra boom de ay
There is no school today
The teacher passed away
She died of tooth decay
We threw her in the bay
She scared the fish away
And when we took her out
She smelled like sauerkraut
Heartless little beasts, weren’t we?
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.
