Define “All”

Posted on October 23, 2020October 23, 2020 by Patrick

I am a Presbyterian Minister, and I serve a purple church in a purple denomination. What I mean by that is that we have red and blue, Republican and Democrat in our congregation and in the PCUSA. In normal times that is a gift, and I have marveled and been grateful for the way people … Continue reading Define “All” →

Back in the New York Groove

Posted on May 8, 2020May 7, 2020 by Patrick

So I saw this argument on Twitter.  (Did you know people argue on Twitter?) The argument was about which Star Wars movie was the best in the franchise. I chimed in, Episode IV, A New Hope. But I stipulated. I don't know if it was the best, I don't know who gets to decide, and … Continue reading Back in the New York Groove →

What I Miss

Posted on April 23, 2020 by Patrick

I miss my dad. I miss my mom. I miss my Panda Mini Pro-Am BMX bike, and I miss 1982. I miss coming home from school and eating two packages of Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls and washing them down with a glass of ice cold whole milk, because I could. There were no such … Continue reading What I Miss →

He Was in Heaven Before He Died*

Posted on April 16, 2020 by Patrick

When I was a child, my family would travel. No wait. That’s not it. Let’s try again. When I was a child I walked like a child, I talked like a child. Hold on. That’s not it either. One more time. When I was a child my family sent me to the greatest summer camp … Continue reading He Was in Heaven Before He Died* →

Cleveland ROCKS!

Posted on April 2, 2020March 25, 2020 by Patrick

In the summer of 2006, I was working with a youth group and took them to Cleveland for  a work trip. During that week, we worked with Habitat for Humanity, served in a homeless shelter and lived in "intentional community". (That means we gave up junk food, sodas and flip phones, saving parents roughly $300 … Continue reading Cleveland ROCKS! →

You Picked a Fine Time…

Posted on March 26, 2020March 25, 2020 by Patrick

This is not a post about Kenny.  It's a post about Alice, and her restaurant. Not really. *** My dad was not a funny man. I take that back.  He was not funny when he tried to be.  He was not the guy at the party who would hold court, telling stories and jokes, everyone … Continue reading You Picked a Fine Time… →

I’m not a doctor, but …

Posted on March 19, 2020March 19, 2020 by Patrick

So, I love my doctor. The guy is great.  I've seen him pretty much since we moved to Georgia, and I love the guy. Calls it like he sees it and has a great sense of humor. (Or at least my kind of humor.) Example: For whatever reason, I have a really low resting heart … Continue reading I’m not a doctor, but … →

Looking Ahead

Posted on March 12, 2020March 11, 2020 by Patrick

I wrote last week about turning 50, about being grateful for what's behind me and looking forward to what's in front of me.  There is a lot I am looking forward to, but today, I am thinking of one date in particular. June 6, 2023. I can't wait for June 6, 2023. What's so special … Continue reading Looking Ahead →

Take THAT!

Posted on October 30, 2018October 30, 2018 by Patrick

Silky's Sports Bar was one of my favorite places to hang out.  They had great cheese-steaks, 1 lb burgers, and they served green eggs and ham on March 17th.  It was a two-story building and a with a balcony.  If I got a seat at the railing, I could see every television in the place.  … Continue reading Take THAT! →
