The role of community and relationships in decision-making
Tuesday, December 16th, 2008When faced with life’s toughest decisions, what do you do? It seems almost everyone has a process they go through when making life decisions.
The Evangelical Opportunity with Barack Obama
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008Christians on the religious right have an opportunity with the upcoming Obama administration, but I doubt seriously evangelicals will take advantage of the chance they have been given. I’ve already let my opinion on Legislating Morality be known, so I won’t rehash it now. The time has come for Christians to shift from talk and [...]

Legislating Morality
Saturday, July 19th, 2008It’s the time again where the Christian political machine is revving up for another presidential election. This is a time, as a Christian, I truly dread. This is the time where human sexuality, abortion, gay marriage, etc., rule the voting consciences of many Christians. It comes down to a simple principle: The religious right believes [...]

It appears that Van Nuys Superior Court Commissioner Martin Wegman thinks I deserve the chance to be innocent… I posted earlier about the possibility that I could not afford to be “not guilty.” It was going to cost me $381 to have my day in court. Evidently, [...]
Each Day
Monday, January 21st, 2008Many of the wonderful things in life go by unappreciated. A kind word, a smile from a stranger, the gentle breeze on a hot summer day. What was once wonderful often sinks beneath the muddy waters of routine. The faithfulness of a friend is too often forgotten even before the next trial begins. But arising [...]
Biblical Understanding Through Community Experience
Friday, December 28th, 2007My friend Jason Zahariades is exploring Eastern Orthodoxy. He’s got a lot of great posts on his blog, and a recent post challenges equality in interpretation of the Scriptures. He quotes Fr. Stephen, “Literalism is a false means of interpretation (hermenuetic) and is a vain attempt to democratize the Holy writings. If they can be [...]
