…it isn’t his real name…and some of the details are changed to protect his identity – his choice of football and basketball teams for instance. Everything else is spot on. I need to write about him. He is a kid I mentor in DC. He is short and thin and will be in 12th grade…

Ok, a simple question…my friend Patton and I are creating a list of the top 10 sports “miracles” of all time. As you might imagine there has been much debate. So, two things. First, what do you think the top 10 should be? Second, what is more miraculous, the “immaculate reception” (below) or the Red…

Here are some more thoughts on that paragraph on love I quoted from Andrew Sullivan’s “blogalogue” with Sam Harris. A decade ago noted evangelical author Phillip Yancey wrote a book called What’s So Amazing About Grace. As the title suggests, it was about that monosyballic word – grace… the freely given and unmerited favor and…

Elsewhere on the Beliefnet site Andrew Sullivan and Sam Harris are having a ‘blogalogue’. Honestly, I find Sam Harris’ blog entries pretty long and tired – the typical screed against faith…oh, it is irrational; oh, it doesn’t mesh with science; oh, religion is nothing more than man’s delusion wrapped up in God; oh, religion is…

She relapsed at 8 and somehow – against every odd that there was – survived and is amazingly healthy. She turned 40 on her fifth birthday…

I think I know why Patton was pushing me so hard to explore the greater significance of my initial glee over Apple’s new iPhone. He’s addicted to his own Blackberry/Treo/handheld thing. Patton, thank you for discussing the problem with us – getting help is always the first step to recovery. 🙂 More seriously, I understand…

I was interviewing someone yesterday for an article I am doing for a different publication. The person is prominent and highly regarded and deep and thoughtful and all such things…. I may never forget this quote from them: “We have lost our credibility as people who know how to love – we are now the…

In case you missed the back and forth between Dr. Dobson and Sen. McCain it went something like this – Dr. Dobson said on a radio show that he wouldn’t ever support Sen. McCain for president. More details on what he said and on his wrath with McCain can be found in this story. This…

Dear David, Consumer products like the iPhone carry loads of promises, both stated and unstated. They promise that: – you’ll be thrilled by using them– you’ll be cool by using them– you’ll have the one device you need to meet all your communicating, planning, viewing, and listening needs (or at least those needs that occur…
