I write this knowing that it may just be another blip on the so-called "blogosphere" but want to do the Oklahoma thing and stake my claim on that part of the map...or at least stake a claim (whether it can truly be called "mine" is an incredibly deep metaphysical question I'm not completely prepared to delve into right now...though it would be yet another distraction from my sermon preparation for this week...).
That's right, I'm a pastor at a smaller (though growing) church in Tulsa, OK. We are right across the street from Southern Hills Country Club (site of this year's PGA championship) but have much more in common with the ranch-style middle class neighborhood to our immediate West and the section 8 housing a mile and a half in that same direction. Just the right spot for a church, and a dreamer who wants to fight for the lost cause and see Dulcineaic beauty (read grace) in ugly (read ugly) things. That's what another dreamer said too. But enough about Bono...
Anyway, this blog consists of the thoughts, random and otherwise, of a Romantic itinerant preacher (a postmodern knight errant?) on the plains of a powerful and wealthy empire (for you analogy fans: La Mancha is to Spain as the Great Plains are to what?) trying to fight the good fight...even when it makes me look a bit foolish. I don't mind. Some of my best friends are fools. And almost all of my heroes. Anyway, enjoy.
