Why I Half Believe In God

It’s one thing to gaze sanctimoniously over a church hymnal and speak about the reality of God, but its entirely another thing to look at pictures of flat bed trucks piled high with the mud caked, silent, naked bodies of children, and ask the question.

Are You A Control Freak?

I used to get so excited I could practically see it before it even happened. I’d walk through the front door into the living room, look around at the windows, the door frame, quickly inspect the perimeter of the home before beginning...

Praying Beneath A Noisy Ceiling Fan

I prayed for healing, more love, and clearer guidance today. A part of me wondered if it was worth it. If anyone really heard me. If somehow the clinking ceiling fan above my head was a bit too noisy. But a part of me desperately needed to experience contact. I needed, and wanted to know...

You've heard the voice, when you've wanted to change poor habits of health, some injustice in the world, some religious tradition you've never really critically examined, or that job you're barely tolerating. It's the voice that whispers to you that people will think you're strange, and may even laugh at you if you dare try to go against what everyone else is doing.

Wikipedia goes on to say that a rebellion can encompass anything from non-violent resistance, to violent, or organized attempts at overthrowing some established authority. History is full of examples of rebels who were responsible for this sort of rabble rousing. It shows the various philosophies they lived, and how they transformed the status quo with new ways of thinking.

10 Books That May Change Your Life

Here’s a list of 10 Books that have shaped my thinking. This list, by no means, is my top 10, nor is it necessarily listed in order of importance(Except for the 1st one).  The only real danger here is in placing yourself between the white and black pages of ideas that force one to confront [...]

Haiti Had It Coming Pat Robertson?

When I watched the clip below, I felt like I had to comment. Then after reading Donald Miller’s response to Pat Robertson, I calmed down a bit, not to say I was jumping around with flailing arms or anything…but you get the point.  Both Pat Robertson and I have our own problems.  So I’ll [...]
