Come On! We Can Do Better Than This!
I was on Facebook this morning (surprise-surprise) and saw something that really disturbed me. Recently there have been news stories about how children are being separated from their illegal immigrant parents who are being deported. The stories said the children were being held in cages. I’m certainly not one to believe everything I read or […]
United We Stand – Divided We Fall
I’m 53-years-old and I think this is the most divisive period of time I’ve lived through – and I’ve lived through a chunk of the 60s with the Vietnam War, Civil Rights, and more! Our country is kind of tearing itself apart right now so I thought it might be important to remind ourselves that […]
Enemy Territory

Okay, I’m no genius; scripture actually tells us that in Ephesians 10:2 – “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to […]

People say and do the most incredulous things that we never would have said and done in past generations. This morning, I was going through my […]
Misogyny in the Church and Beyond
Last week, well-known preacher and author Beth Moore wrote a stinging blog about misogyny in the church. Moore comes from a Southern Baptist background so it’s not surprising that her experience has been less than supportive given that denomination’s stand on women in authority. However, her words were powerful and struck me at a deeper […]
Bearing Good Fruit
Jesus talked funny. Whether he was telling stories, sharing wisdom via parables, or using simile, metaphor, or allegory, Jesus said things in ways that may be difficult with which to connect for today’s readers. Yet, we know that his approach really resonated with the people of His time. I think that’s why sometimes church language […]
