Hello! I interrupt this normal post with a big announcement: THERE IS A NEW BOOK BASED ON MY ADVENT DEVOTIONS! Woohoo! You can order it here on Amazon.

Now back to our regular post:

Welcome to my devotions page! Every few months I create a series of devotions built around various themes. The first one was a road trip with Mary and Joseph as they walked to Bethlehem. Spoiler alert, a baby is born when they get there. You might’ve heard the story.

But I don’t tell the story in the normal way. It’s grittier when a junkyard guy thinks about the story. It’s more human, less theological, with a touch of snarky humor. More, well, more like a story.

The series have also explored Easter (Jesus walks to Jerusalem), a trip around the Mediterranean, a vacation in Belize, and a look at how Jesus was an amazing teacher.

These are daily emails that are easy to read. My goal is to write them so you spend 2-minutes reading and the rest of the day thinking. Or at least laughing.

Using my extensive theological training that I’ve never had, I try to look between and behind the Scripture stories. Including things Scripture doesn’t specifically mention, but we can wonder about, since all these stories are about real people. (Like, why was Jesus so often a surly dinner guest on the way to Jerusalem?)  I get things wrong because, well, I’m human. But I’ve found my mistakes to be benign overall, and in some ways a mind bender that has us looking at Scripture differently (in a good way).

Interested? They come with a money back guarantee. But since they are FREE that’s not saying much. The best I can do is add an unsubscribe button at the bottom, which sadly a few people use.

I’d love to have you along for the next journey. Every trip, more and more people are signing up. It’s up to three billion readers so far! But, yes, I’m rounding up.
