A regular follower of the Oboedire blog has told me about a feature that will make it easier for you to receive the posts on your mobile devices.  Since the subscription list is growing and more and more of you … Continue reading →

I will not post the week of December 26-31, with the exception of “The Holy Gospel” for January 1st (posted on December 31). See you in the New Year, God willing.

Just a reminder that I will not be posting the regular thematic posts this week, or the two “In-Sight” commentaries. You will find “The Holy Gospel” meditation on Saturday, November 26th. Regular posting will resume on Monday, November 28th.

Greeting, Everyone! Just a reminder that next Thursday, October 6th, I’ll begin a new weekly theme on the Oboedire site. For a preview of it—and other updates as well—read the “First Day” post that will appear at 7:00 p.m. (EST) … Continue reading →

Just a reminder that a new weekly post will begin October 6th.  I’ve received several good suggestions, and I am pondering others.  If you have an idea you want to give me, please do so soon. I will announce the … Continue reading →

Just a reminder that I am inviting suggestions for the new Thursday morning posting. Whatever we decide, it will begin on October 6th. And remember also that “In-Sight” and “Journey in the Word” will post later today.

Just a reminder that “Ponderings” is discontinued.  We need a new topic for Thursday mornings.  In September’s “First Day” post, I made some suggestions, but I also invite you share any thoughts you have about a new theme for Thursdays. … Continue reading →

Rather than waiting until our next “First Day” post, I want to tell you three things that will change on the Oboedire site, beginning on September 1st. First, and by way of reminder, we will offer the opportunity to read … Continue reading →

One reader emailed to remind me that the daily categories are not as familiar to readers as they are to me.  Let me simply remind you that they are described in the “About the Site” section at the top of … Continue reading →

I’m taking a summer “time out” from the daily posts from July 4-17.  I will only post “The Holy Gospel” on two Saturdays:  July 9 and 16. I’ll resume my regular communications with you on Monday, July 18th. If you’ve … Continue reading →

Good Afternoon, Everyone! I’m already enjoying the more-relaxed “one a day” posting, but I do want to keep the major themes going through the summer. You have probably already seen the “subscription” feature on the sidebar of the Home Page.  … Continue reading →

The old song says, “Summertime, and the living is easy.” I am going to use the summer months (June, July, and August) to create an “easier” (more restful and relaxed) writing plan for Oboedire. Beginning tomorrow, only the daily theme … Continue reading →

The old song says, “Summer time, and the living is easy.” I’m going to apply the message to my writing during June, July, and August.  I want to “take a break” and reduce the number and nature of my postings. … Continue reading →

As you know, I did not set up “Oboedire” to be a conversational forum.  But I read every single response that is posted, and once in a while, I will write the person back.  As I said when I launched … Continue reading →

“No fooling”  Friday, April 1st will bring some changes to this site. First, the daily blog topic will be posted at 1:00 a.m. rather than at 7:00 a.m.  Some of you are getting away from your computers before 7:00 a.m., … Continue reading →

Periodically, I ask you to join me in praying for God to reveal other persons who might benefit from Oboedire.  As we begin the month of March, I am asking you to do that once again. I know that most … Continue reading →

Beginning tomorrow, February 12th, I’m adding a new feature to Oboedire.  It will appear under the theme of “Soul Byte” It will be a Twitter-style piece (usually one per day, but maybe more–or less), a “thought for the day” you … Continue reading →

I’ve checked the monthly statistics for this site, and it’s growing little-by-little.  I want to thank you for being one who logs in from time to time to read the posts.  The purpose of Oboedire has never been about “growing.”  … Continue reading →

I’m taking the week off from daily blogging, to spend time with family and friends. On January 2nd, we launch the new site for 2011. Next Sunday, you’ll find “The Holy Gospel” awaiting your read.  Tuesdays will find us exploring … Continue reading →

Just a reminder that a couple of new things will begin on January 1, 2011. “The Holy Gospel” will move to Sundays, beginning January 2. “Gleanings” (Tuesdays) will be focused upon quotations from the desert Fathers and Mothers of the … Continue reading →

Beginning on Monday, January 3rd, I will make changes in the site which I hope will make your visits here even more enriching. “Gleanings” will be drawn from the sayings of the early desert Fathers and Mothers.  As I have … Continue reading →

Oboedire will be offline (mostly) until Monday, November 1st. I’ve posted “Ponderings” a bit early, and also this week’s “Holy Gospel”—both below.  But that will be it for a while. Jeannie and I are traveling in Japan from October 14-27.  I’m … Continue reading →

I am ministering in Malaysia in two different conferences between now and August 26th.  I will post only the two “Holy Gospel” entries while I am away, for August 22 and 29.  The regular posts will resume on Monday, August … Continue reading →

After operating this blog for slightly over two weeks, I have decided to allow “Comments” on it.  Thanks to some more-experienced bloggers who have gotten in touch with me, I see that I am failing to make my blog a … Continue reading →

Greetings! We live in an incredible time, with more information at our fingertips than people just a few years ago could have ever imagined.  It’s estimated that the Sunday edition of the New York Times contains more words than John … Continue reading →

I’ve created this category as a kind of “one stop shopping” place to keep you aware of changes to this site as it develops and grows.  You can always check here to see “what’s new” on the Oboedire blog.  I … Continue reading →
