Last December, I led an introductory class/workshop on prayer and using the then-new Treasury of Daily Prayer. I was asked to publish my notes from the workshop… I have eliminated/modified/summarized a lot of what we did, which was more hands-on, walking through the book.

Treasury of Daily Prayer User’s Guide: Pr. Bachman’s Guide to the Divine Office
Pr. Karl Bachman, put together a nice introduction to the use of the orders of daily prayer in the Treasury of Daily Prayer. These orders of daily prayer are also known as “office” or the “divine office.” During the time of the Middle Ages these became obligatory especially among the monastic communities where they developed [...]

Prostate Cancer Journal: Positive for Cancer
“Mr. Kinnaman, your results came back positive…” That really is the only thing I heard in our brief conversation. As Dr. de la Paz continued to speak I looked at the pictures on my desk, pictures of my wife and I on a cruise, pictures of our four grandchildren. I ask a few questions, write a couple of notes that mostly make sense later, but while hearing, I really am not listening. I have cancer.

Prostate Cancer Journal: The Waiting is the Hardest Part
This is the third post in my personal journey through prostate cancer. I know that caught early (before there are symptoms), prostate cancer has a >90% cure rate and that there is really no threat of dying from it as there was even 10 years ago, and certainly 16 years ago as did my father. But my fear is almost unbridled. I put it again and again in the hands of God, and there still seems to be a portion that is held back—it seems to have a home nestled deep in my gut, in my heart, and in my head.

Luke 24:44-53 Ascension
“Sir we would see Jesus!”
If that’s why you’ve come, you’ll not leave disappointed. You, just like me for so many years, you may have come to church tonight thinking that Ascension Day is a great day of celebration—and it is—a great day celebrating the Lord Jesus’ leaving for heaven—but it’s not.

Stimulus Event for Your Prayer Life Ends Soon!

Prostate Cancer Journal: You’re Going to Do What?
This is the second post in my personal journey through prostate cancer. This will be an intensely personal post. There is no delicate way to describe what took place during the prostate biopsy. . . . “doesn’t hurt much” and “not so bad” only seemed to mock me. Despite the vast amount of information I had accumulated over the previous ten days, I am wading deep into the unknown, nearly drowning in a mix of fear and anxiety. As I drove the thirty minutes to the office I’m thinking about the needles.

Prostate Cancer Journal: Today I take the test
This is the first post in my personal journey through prostate cancer. This afternoon I will be heading over to my doctor’s office to have a transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. This test will be used to determine whether my elevated PSA blood test results are indicative of prostate cancer or infection or something else altogether.
