I flew out to Colorado today for some meetings this week. On the drive from the airport, I saw this rainbow and pulled over and jumped out and snapped the pic. It was breathtaking. The Bible promises that one day the earth will be new and perfect and flawless. Usually that is hard to imagine.…

Anne Jackson is a writer at Relevant Magazine>. She has written a beautifully honest piece about her addiction to online porn and God’s grace and mercy. I’m still a girl who struggles. I’m still a girl who lives one day at a time, depending on a God whose design for sex and love is so…

As fall – the most wonderful time of the year – approaches things will heat up. I’ll be blogging a lot more. Because fall will mean a rapid upturn in political coverage that means I’ll be blogging more on politics too. I’ve always said that I want to write about politics from a spiritual perspective.…

Forthwith, random observations from my period. Hannah Montana didn’t do it for me even though the premise of a pop star kid disguising herself as normal is cute and BIlly Ray Cyrus is affable. That I watched Hannah Montana says more than enough about my mental capacity the past couple days. I think I liked…

So, per my last post, I’m kind of tired. So I’m lying in bed watching a most glorious thing that I downloaded from iTunes – game 6 of the 1986 World Series. The whole game. I was 18 at the time and away on some retreat that evening. I was going to school in Boston…

Once every 28 days, for five days, I have my period. I haven’t really written much about it because, I suppose, I am not sure what to make of the whole thing. My period is different from and similar to those periods that women endure every month. Like women on the pill, mine is also…

Over at SoMA, Paul O’Donnell revisits Social Gospel creator Walter Rauschenbusch on the 100th anniversary of his famed book, Christianity and the Social Crisis. The book has been re-issued with new essays by Jim Wallis, Stephen Carter, and others. Rauschenbusch’s book was one of the most influential religious books of the 20th Century. It simultaneously…

I have become a huge fan of Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, MN. Huge. Read his blog, listen to his sermons, this guy is real. Yesterday he wrote about watching Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto. It’s a raw look into the demonic barbarism of one particular culture at one particular place and…

Some of the most insightful people grace this blog, taking time out of their lives to read and comment and send emails. It is such a privilege to be part of it. Rjohnson posted something yesterday that I am particularly intrigued by: Perhaps it is time for people of faith to remind both parties that…

As you probably heard last week, an Arlington, TX church rescinded its offer to hold a memorial service for the brother of one of its employees after the church discovered that…. this is where it gets confusing. The church has its version and the family has its version. If you want to catch up on…
