The Potential of the Moment

Warning: Political Post!
Yesterday MSM reported that al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda’s #2 guy, called Obama a “house negro.”  I’ve been sitting with this trying to figure out where I am with it, and I think I’ve found a place to land.
The fact is that America’s historic racism has not only profoundly affected our own country, but apparently […]

Christ, The Common Ground

At a staff retreat right now and as I sit here with my computer, the Jazz Theologian himself walks up and asks, “so when are you going to blog again?”  Although he’s not the first person to inquire about the quiet in this place, he’s is, as a fellow blogger, perhaps more influence than others.  […]

All I can say is . . . Yes!

Going For It!

This past weekend was full of reunions.  The CU Buffs Football program had their annual fund-raising event that drew former players from previous eras and several states across the nation.  I saw guys that I hadn’t seen in years.  It was very cool.  But as much as I enjoyed seeing our old friends, I most […]

An Open Letter to James Dobson, Focus on the Family, the Religious Right, Citizen Link, and Other Crazies

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I’d like to thank you, sincerely, for your exposure of Barack Obama’s biblical views . . . Finally!!!  A well presented, accurate assessment of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in politics (as if the two could ever really go hand-in-hand anyway, but we sure try don’t we?).  Well done.  Praise God […]

Starting to believe that the God of all gods isn’t strong enough, mighty enough, God enough?

Take it from me, you need a get away . . .
With all creation I sing “Praise to the […]

Baggy jeans. Big white T’s. Dreadlocks. Hip Hop Lover. Side Kick Text-Messager. Football Player. That is my son Cole. He is, among other things, fairly typical of young Black men influenced too well by MTV and BET. He has, what he likes to call, a […]

Picture This

Another Audrey Post:
Yesterday we had quite a setback on this road to healing, or at least I did - I think. Because of a misunderstanding too broad to capture here, the hospital did not, in fact, take a picture of baby Audrey like we thought they would. So, no picture. This matters […]

Telling the Future

 Let me tell you what’s going to happen: after my husband golfs today, he’s gonna come home with a sore back. Yesterday, he cooked an absolutely brilliant meal (braised short ribs and pablano pepper potatoes) and was doing some pretty heavy lifting of our two, huge le cuissant dutch ovens. After we ate […]
