I opened the Washington Post yesterday morning to find a big story on Fred Goldman, father of Ron Goldman, the man murdered alongside Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994. He got the rights from OJ Simpson’s never-published book, If I Did It, wrote a new forward, a new prologue and a new afterword and has had…

Yesterday I had a chance to interview Jud Wilhite, senior pastor at Las Vegas’ Central Christian Church. He is the author of a new book called Stripped: Uncensored Grace on the Streets of Vegas. The interview will be appearing later today and early next week in this place. It is an extraordinary book. Here is…

The NFL has done the right thing regarding the NE Patriots cheating last weekend. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called the cheating what it was: “This episode represents a calculated and deliberate attempt to avoid longstanding rules designed to encourage fair play and promote honest competition on the playing field.” And he imposed a stiff fine…

Thanks to Norm for this: Norm writes: Texas has many such Thin Places. I’ve felt it in the majestic vistas and friendly people of Palo Duro Canyon near the panhandle town of Canyon, TX.

Let me begin with a disclaimer. I do not like the NE Patriots. Part of it is subjective – they’ve beaten a team I do like very much, the Steelers, with regularity. But part of it is objective – they strike me as smarmy. Now there is unfortunate proof of their total smarminess. The NFL…

After my email disaster, thin places returns and it returns with such beauty…New Smyrna Beach, Florida Thanks to Amy who writes, “Something about the power, the consistency, the enormity of the ocean: it’s such a tangible representation of a majestic God. This place represents wholeness for me, a gathering place for my family and friends,…

Today I will meet two friends for lunch. The last time we were together on a 9/11 it was in the West Wing of the White House and it was 2001. That day began like others at the time. I walked through the White House gates and I had a breakfast with one friend and…

This one is beyond puzzling. The Bureau of Prisons has assembled a list of “acceptable” religions books. That means that in prisons across America libraries are being stripped of religious texts not on the approved list. You couldn’t have sold this one in a bad novel. The NYT reports: The Bureau of Prisons said it…
