Pastor Randy Gibson

James Riley — Wed, 10 Jun 2015 21:57:01 +0000

This may scandalize a few of my Baptist and Nazarene friends, but I hope heaven will be something like a tavern. I can’t imagine the Lord High King of the Universe objecting to good food, fine wine, and stories well told; and, so long as we all understand we’re not talking about perpetual servitude, how could […]

John Adams [Video]

James Riley — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 23:55:50 +0000

This is the chatty, gossipy, dismissive side of our 2nd president. You’re going to love hearing what he has to say about the John Green family of Stafford Springs, Connecticut. People pick on John Adams, but he didn’t spring ex nihilo out of the New England mist. America was built, in large part, on the Puritan […]

Join the Colony and Watch “The Life of Riley” Is there anyone over twelve years old in the English speaking world who hasn’t heard these words at some point in their life: “they should make a reality show about you?” I doubt it. We certainly hear it a lot. When you consider our situation here […]

Magic for the Masses

James Riley — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 20:09:31 +0000

Can little independent companies produce a television channel you’re willing to pay for? A few days ago, my fourteen your old son Gabriel re-discovered the visual wizardry of a young guy who can create glass-shattering car accidents without getting anyone hurt. He can bring down skyscrapers without real-world tragedy. He can build entire underground command […]

James Riley — Mon, 05 May 2014 21:01:44 +0000

Parental Warning: a few scenes in Turn may not be appropriate for younger children and teenagers. Almost from the moment of its rumored pre-production, I’ve been asked by friends and fans of Courage what I thought about the new Revolutionary War spy series, “Turn” on AMC. A few folks even appear sheepish about it — […]

A Fiesta Siesta

James Riley — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 20:31:48 +0000

Mortified in light of the recent Dartmouth “Fiesta” fiasco, we offer our apologies for words we may have used without even thinking… First off, an apology. For too long now, I have apparently failed to thank the people of New Hampshire for allowing me to use the term “New Hampshire.” They have also graciously permitted […]

If I Could But Atone..

James Riley — Tue, 11 Mar 2014 20:51:38 +0000

Golf memories with my dad… I really should be a better golfer. My dad — who was so poor as a child he never really knew how to stop working later in life — allowed himself one semi-unrestrained pleasure: golf clubs, a cart (if it was absolutely required), and a round of golf, perhaps, on […]
