my Hmmmmmmmmm File!

I commented on a RevGal blog that I had a “Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm….” file. And that has led to questions and comments from fellow RGBPs. SOooo what is it and where does it exist?

Well for starters, one day I was bored surfing and found this website! (You knew there just HAD to be a website somewhere!) My HMMMmmm’s had nothing to do with that. But it cracked me up that someone has a website (and that they bought a domain name to do it??? hilarious!)

Mostly, I’m just collecting scribbles in a file folder. It’s articles from magazines, pictures that grab my attention, and things that I hear or read in every day life. It’s short vignettes and stories from my life or my family and friends (used with permission, of course…) It’s the things that I think about trying to “answer” sometime, someday, somewhere if I ever get a chance to preach on them. Things like:

What that pesky “serpent head” passage means in Genesis 3 and 2 Corinthians 11
Does “baptizo” have to mean “immerse”?
That old “source” vs. “head” argument in Ephesians 5
Sin nature and children and salvation
Suicide and other “unforgiveable” sins
When does “salvation” actually occur in the life of the believer?
Roots and stumps and growth
Prayers, liturgies and forms that constrain or free me in worship
Songs, videos and movies
Scribbles about some books I’ve read with notes on what is making me stop and say “Hmmmmmmmmmmm….” as I read them.
Pictures and photos… like this one…
