So I sit here waiting for a phone call; a doctor’s phone call to tell me about the state of my brain and the small tumor invading it. I slipped into the MRI machine yesterday evening for an hour and have been waiting since for the call. This is a big one because it is…

Another quote from N.T. Wright on a different topic: Jesus is… the one who would encourage us to pray not only that God’s kingdom would come on earth as in heaven, but also that God would give us this day our daily bread.

While that may may be true, there is also the reality that the government rarely goes where…
