I had the pleasure of filling the pulpit this morning at All Souls in Lewiston, a church plant of Christ Church. We were joined there by IV Conerly, who was visiting, along with the Chocolate Knox and his delightful family. After the service IV gave us his recent (rap) album entitled The Unknown God. A …
Front Yard Narnia
Just fooling around a bit with stuff. This is a snap shot I took out our front door a couple years ago, and which I just ran through a phone app called Waterlogue. Kind of fun.
The Leaden Age
The great and their pride shall sink to the bottom, And settle in silt on the deep sea bed. But now, before dropped, from the palm of God, Behold . . . the golden age of lead.
Hear the Light
https://dougwils.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/HeartheLight.mp3 Artist:Â The Mountain Angel Band Here is another cut from the Angelfood album. I wrote this song when fiber optics was a brand new thing and I saw a magazine ad that said, “Hear the light.”
Are You Looking for the City?
https://dougwils.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/AreYouLookingfortheCity.mp3 Artist: The Mountain Angel Band Year: 1979 So here is something I found while rummaging around in my computer. Call it “found art” in a ratty old cardboard box. This means I now have my very own set of basement tapes. Kind of like Dylan did. Actually, not a basement tape at all. This …

A Cycle of Pomes: Reflections
There once was a president-king Who could do most any cool thing Except writing code, (His limits there showed,) Now our health care is broke, in a sling. There once was an Obamono-whiz Whose health care rollout kinda fizz Led. And it crashed A new clunker for cash, Because that is just what it is. …
Simply Beowulf
Well, I have to admit that I am kind of whipped up about our pending release of Beowulf. This was a project I was kind of chipping away on in the background, and then the need for a usable version for the new Logos Press curriculum arose. So I got things in gear, and finished …
High and Lowly
Not to worship, but to serve, Not to worship, but to save, Christ wrapped a towel around His waist, And as He knelt He gave A glorious affront To pious expectation here. Peter faltered at the grace, Peter faltered in dismay, Christ knelt to wash the grime and dirt As Peter tried to say His …
The Minister and the Parrot
One time a minister bought a parrot, and it wasn’t until that he had brought the parrot home that he discovered a key difficulty with his purchase. The parrot was almost a non-stop cusser. His previous owner had apparently taught the parrot every bad word found in the English language, and it was to these …
