"My Life He Brings Back"

Thanks to the generous largess of some kind, anonymous soul, I find myself in possession of the highly acclaimed new translation of the ancient Hebrew Bible. Robert Alter's three-volume The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary is being heralded as "the first single-author literary translation of the complete Hebrew Bible." I find the reading experience of this obvious work of a lifetime both fresh and refreshing, without the forced novelty that can plague newly released translations trying to catch the eye and ear of a Bible-saturated market.

The Last Letter

Ever get a letter you were afraid to open and read? How about a letter you could hardly wait to tear open to read? What made the difference? What you knew about the sender, of course. Perhaps thats why “The Last Letter” has been left unopened and unread for so long. But what if we’ve been wrong? Then why keep waiting? Pioneer Memorial Church—Winter of 2019.

Meet the Baltazars

This week I had the great pleasure of talking with a wonderful couple, Joshua and Alina Baltazar. Joshua and Alina have been members of Pioneer Memorial Church since they were 13 and 14 years old, and they have always loved being a part of the church community here. Their lives have changed during their time in this community: they've gone from being teenagers to college students, to a young married couple, and now they're (still young) parents to 3 young men who are also members of PMC.
