The Starfish Preservation Society

I asked a friend the other day how he felt about the plight of stranded starfish -- helpless sea creatures stranded on the burning sands by the relentless withdrawal of the tides, expecting a sympathetic ear. To my horror he replied that he had never thought much about stranded starfish!

Naturally, it became my task to educate him, and now you, on this injustice and to invite you to join the Starfish Preservation Society and become one of the SAPS that rescue these helpless creatures.

What DID Happen?

One of the most difficult teachings of Jesus appears in Luke 12:
Jesus said, “Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!
What are we to make of the Prince of Peace saying such a thing?  Join the congregation of Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, Ky. for this week's sermon, "What DID Happen?" by clicking HERE for audio or HERE for text.

Up A Tree

Today marks the first sermon since we changed the name of the podcast from the imposing "Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, Kentucky" to a hopefully easier to handle "The Casting Floor". We believe in transformation. We believe in God's power to mold us, and I hope the new title reflects that.

The recent reporting about Pope Francis has focused my attention to what I see as a flaw in our understanding of our place in God's Creation. In short, I thing we've got ourselves up a tree. Pope Francis, I believe, is showing the way down.

Stuiff

If ever there was something we could describe as the American pastime, I think it would be the collection of "stuff". We really, really love our tchotchkes. Did you know you can buy a thermostat that allows you to control the temperature in your house from your smart phone from anyplace in the world?
