My Mid-Project Crisis

So, I’ve taken the last few weeks of The Project.  Went to church once (except the makeshift house church deal we got going on), written a half-post about my second venture to Base, and overall haven’t felt the need to do anything.  Churches are blending together, music sounds the same, sermons are just as engaging [ READ MORE ]

Don’t Run Away From The Base, Unless You Want To Start Base

Instead of randomly selecting Churches to attend in February, I decided it was time for a theme month.  Themes make everything more interesting; imbue meaning where there is none, and give a nice narrative to write around.  Themes are fun for everyone, and make life a little easier.  So February is Schism Month, the month [ READ MORE ]

10 Second Photo

As many of you know by now, my Grandma passed away last week.  She had severe Alzheimer’s, so it was an odd relief. I didn’t attend St. Andrew’s, but instead decided to expand on the story I told about Grandma at the service.  I’ll be in warm weather for the next two Sundays, so no [ READ MORE ]

A Visitor in the Hall

“Any announcements for today?” You can tell the size of the church based on the format of the announcements.  If they are strictly regimented, read off a piece of paper, with no extemporaneous audience comments allowed, you’re at a big church; over a hundred where inviting in the peanut gallery would bring mayhem. If they ask for [ READ MORE ]

Woodside’s Christmas After Christmas

The Project returns after a two week hiatus caused by the celebration of some deity’s birth.  Surprisingly, a time that is pimped out as a joyous occasion of family and friends, to celebrate the savior of humanity, people are amazingly bitchy.  Like most bloggers, I work at menial, entry level, retail job and use my [ READ MORE ]

Pretend This Says Something About Woodside Bible Church

Let’s talk about espresso and cappuccinos again.  The reason most church-type bars fail is because they use the equivalent to consumer espresso machine.  Try as you might, it won’t taste good.  A really good professional espresso machine will run you about 15 grand.  This was the crux of my argument is my last Kensington post: [ READ MORE ]

Five Points Is Like A Gruesomely Mutilated Dead Baby…wait what?

I don’t even know where to begin this week.  No idea.  I mean I bailed right as Pastor Tobias started his closing prayer.  No promise of any off-key worship song could keep me in my seat.  So, I have no idea where to start.  So, this is what I have so far. “Now the story of [ READ MORE ]

A Bluth Family Guide to Five Points

I don’t know if this is awesome, or an issue.  All I know is that it exists, and I have to deal with it for one more week.  The lead pastor at Five Points Community Church is a hybrid of 3 different people: Ed Cordry, former Daily Show Correspondent Buster [ READ MORE ]
