J Walking

My sabbath ended late this afternoon and we (my friend and I) returned to the cancer ward… something I never really guessed I’d do again. But we went and I handed out some water and some lollipops and every person there solicited me to help save their child. A few more pictures and descriptions to…

I’ve received several emails and read several comments about the death penalty – the gist is that I am wrong by opposing the death penalty. Two points: First, that may well be correct. I may be wrong. Perhaps the death penalty is appropriate. I tend to side, however, with something the United States Conference of…

From a reader… My favorite little French saint – St. Therese of Lisieux – said, “If I am willing to serenely bear the burden of being displeasing to myself, I will be a pleasant place of shelter for Jesus.” Triumphalism never bears that burden – whether it is Christian or not. The kind of triumphalism…

A reader’s comment: David, are there any people like the one you describe walking the halls of the White House, in Islamic countries? Does Iran’s leader or Syria’s head of state, care about the consequences of their violent actions? Don’t bother a reply David. We both know the answer. We are a nation of better…

I watched 60 Minutes this evening and saw President Bush’s interview. A few thoughts: – I watched him squirm during the discussion of Saddam Hussein’s hanging video and how he didn’t want to watch the actual hanging. If we can’t watch the consequence of what we have done then isn’t it possible that the thing…

Thanks for your most challenging post. As I jokingly IM’d you later it made me want to hit you. Why? Because it so boldly confronted me with the the challenges of this blog and with life in general. One of the problems of the blog is that it can be so demanding – “post, Post,…

I tuned in a couple of minutes late to watch my president talk about Iraq. I saw him standing and wondered if I was watching an old news clip of an old speech. I wondered why he wasn’t seated behind the great desk in the Oval Office? It was a bad sign – a sign…

(Patton here.) Thanks for the kind words, David. Ok, fair reader, look at the top of this blog. It says, and has long said: “David Kuo,” then “J-Walking.” Such a title might lead one to believe that this blog, so cleverly named, would be about, you know, J-Walking. Jesus-walking. Walking with Jesus. And so it…

My editor here is a guy named Patton Dodd. I’m blessed by that (though I hate throwing around cliched words like ‘blessed’). He’s a wonderful writer. His book, My Faith So Far: A story of conversion and confusion is a beautiful and nakedly honest book that deserves to be read. His articles for Beliefnet –…

I love Apple. I love the iPod and iMac and iBook and macbook and macbook pro and all that stuff. I really, really love Apple. It started when I was a teenager and the man who was my unofficial grandfather – the man who helped bring my father to the US after World War II…
