HiScrivener is a person on a mission – to create an open forum for this generation’s “Writing on the Wall”. God speaks to the Church daily through the news. Be it someone perform lewd acts in the name of God, a saint being a living epistle or the government exhibiting the nation’s only permitted and approved prejudice and bigotry – hatred against the Church.
Regardless, this is indeed mainstream news for upstream believers.
And I am at the helm, full of gentle, poignant (and most of the time, snarky) musings on the Church, its denominations and affiliations, the world it impacts and the news it permeates. I am just another scrivener of His posting something else on the wall (AKA “His Scrivener”, affectionately written as “HiScrivener” or technically, “God’s Scribe”).
The “Writing on the Wall” is much more than a voyeuristic platform to recite what is on the news and state a volitional and subjective point of view. There is more than 20 years of professional experience (both working in the church and sitting in the cheap seats outside of it) acting as a sounding board while I opine. In other words, I know from whence I speak and you would be aghast if you knew how whence that was.
Scattered here and yon on the Wall are topical essays, news blurbs, deep-seeded opinions and noteworthy events happening daily just waiting for one of us to post it on here for the attention of the Church. Like the mysterious, withered hand in the Book of Daniel, we need to act as ‘the hand of God’ and alerts his children and followers what is TRULY happening in the world around them.
You are welcomed and encouraged to create dialogue and drop a note about stories you saw in the news that deal with God, Jesus, the Church or religion (and our relationship with God despite of it) as a whole.
If you want to post, do so liberally and routinely (but read this first). However, if intimacy is something you fancy, don’t be skeered. My e-mail is hiscrivener@yahoo.com. Feel footloose and fancy free, and expect a return note.
Anywhoo, read along, tell your friends, link a post or stay a while and drop us a line. You never know who is reading. Enjoy!
Hello, it is likely our posting might be off topic but anyhow, having gone surfing about your blog and it looks extremely cool. It’s obvious that you know your subject and you appear fervent about it. We are building a fresh blog plus I am struggling to make it look good, plus provide quality writing. I’ve gleaned much at this site and also I look forward to a lot more posts and will be coming back soon. I just wanted to say thanks. This article was recommended to me by a close friend. I have to say, looking at this article provided me with a lot of value. I will be sure to tell more friends about it and have them come here check it out and comment on it as well.
Hey very nice blog!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your blog and take the feeds alsoâ¦. Greetings from the Speedy DNS
Hi, nice to meet you !
When we talk about “the Church”, what do we mean? Is the RCC “the Church”? Sometimes I think we “Protestants” have so adopted the idea of “Protestant=good, RCC=bad” we have chucked most of our Christian heritage thinking if we don’t we’ll appear to be “traditionalists”. However, the Bible tells us there are traditions passed down — 2 Thes 2:15. I guess our goal as Christians is to determine where the apostolic traditions end and where “traditions of men” began and pare off those things not biblical or profitable to our ancient Faith.

Yawning Over Potemkin Zombieland
By Robert Winkler Burke
Of inthatdayteachings.com
Copyright 2/16/10
Well then, it’s agreed:
There are just no prophets today,
Warning us about,
Potemkin Zombieland. Hurray!
Hurray! We’re okay,
With hamster pipe walk-left-walk-right preachers!
They don’t mesmerize us,
Not according to our liberal school teachers!
No, the wing tanks are full,
On the jets of our preacher and politico class!
We need discern nothing,
Enlightened thought is just a worrisome morass!
Even if one of us in thinking,
Were to succeed,
Not one, but all need enlightening,
To work. Agreed?
So we’re ever so happy,
With Potemkin Zombieland!
Leaders: rich, plebes: broke,
Enslaved America is so grand!
That’s what some preachers and politicians,
Do, if not say, by their action!
Never mind their blinding us to all that,
Our one job: Their satisfaction!
Never mind Western Enlightenments’ tragic view,
Check and verify against each man’s sin,
We embrace mystic, therapeutic tyranny,
Our lives: dust, that masters live: golden!
It’s the new all-for-one,
And the new one-for-all,
Feudal lords over us,
Come now, lords of cabal!
Actually, we need to be,
More primitive, more easy-to-herd,
More easy-to-direct gerbils!
More nadir! Our zenith leaders’ word!
We need faux James Bond leaders and preachers,
Jetting to elite vacation spots!
With fake licenses to steal our monies and lives,
No consequences, no harms, no blots!

Greetings,
Just found your blog as a result of a ‘related links’ connection. Like what I read here very much. Adding you to my blog list. Well Done.
Is there a copywrite on the picture “he’s got the whole world in his hands”?
We are looking for a jpeg for a non-profit faith based food bank agency Good News Center.
Please advise.
Thank you!
