Eric Blauer

I am Frederick Christian Blauer IV, but I go by Eric, it sounds less like a megalomaniac but still hints at my Scandinavian destiny of coastal conquest and ultimate rule. I have accumulated a fair number of titles: son, brother, husband, father, pastor, writer, artist and a few other more colorful titles by my fanged fans. I am a lover of story be it heard, read or watched in all beauty, gory or glory. I write and speak as an exorcist or poltergeist, splashing holy water, spilling wine and breaking bread between the apocalypse and a sleeping baby. I am possessed by too many words and they get driven out like wild pigs and into the waters of my blog at www.fcb4.tumblr.com. I work as a pastor at Jacob's Well Church (www.jacobswellspokane.com) across the tracks on 'that' side of town. I follow Christ in East Central Spokane among saints, sinners, angels, demons, crime, condoms, chaos, beauty, goodness and powerful weakness. I have more questions than answers, grey hairs than brown, fat than muscle, fire than fireplace and experience more love from my wife, family and friends than a man should be blessed with in one lifetime.

Technology strengthens connections

In our church community group last week we called our friends on mission in Sudan, Africa from the living room of the home where we were meeting. We talked to our missionaries as a small group, while the mother of one of the missionaries held her smart phone up so all could hear.

The Grotto

The Grotto in Portland, where many go to pray for healing.

My views of peace and submission have truly changed

My views of peace and submission have truly changed the older I get and the longer I observe how we humans interrelate.

Yes and no

I know there is common sense and studies that show the connections between environment, education, example and exposure and behavior.

St. John’s Labrynth

Blogger Eric Blauer says not all who wander are lost. Read his post about walking the labrynth at St. John's Cathedral.
