To say the last two years has been like living in a Twilight Zone is to grossly understate the matter for anyone even accidentally paying attention. I’m not a politician mind you, and I don’t claim to necessarily have my finger on the pulse of everything that is going on in America’s political landscape. And …
Ah marital bliss! It is truly a many splendored thing is it not? I mean after all young women spend a good portion of their young lives dreaming about the man they will one day marry (or at least they used to😊), and once the date is set, the mother and daughter, as well as would-be bridesmaids; …
I’ve found that the above title has a knee-jerk response from most in Christian circles, and quite a different one from those who merely have a spectator view of the faith or none at all. I for one have always found that interesting to say the least. Grace Has Still Fallen on Hard Times Inside of …
I chose the title of my blog today for two specific reasons. One of those is clearly unimpressive, in that as I grabbed my clothes out of my drawer this morning, enroute to work this “old man” out, my favorite shirt entitled “Bad Theology Hurts People” was the shirt that said “Please, pick me”!

For the last two weeks, I diverged off of the beat and path of my usual meanderings of this cracked up American life in order to talk about something that had been on my mind for some time now. I had been desiring to first of all introduce the idea primarily as to why Christians …
The word narcissism is thrown around a lot these days; and for good damn reason. In fact, our culture breeds those who exemplify it now like seahorses, yet they all seem to live far too long! This dilemma is in fact something that anyone, even without a spiritual bone in their body, can easily spot …
A Bad Funeral It’s been several years ago now that I had the grave misfortune of attending a funeral none of us ever want to attend. It was the service of a once precious little girl that grew up way too fast in a mad, mad world, assimilating all too naturally from her life’s’ pedigree …
Where’s Your Homeboy Now? In St. Peter the Rock’s 2nd epistle and chapter 3, the edgy disciple-prophet pens a verse in the middle of a lengthy narrative on the so-called “negligible” signs of Christ’s coming, from scoffers who prognosticate that the jig is up on the Christians once and for all, for the “so-called” Messiah has …
