Stressed out? Does the weekend bring as much anxiety as Monday? Do you dread the alarm clock for more reasons than being a night-owl? You are not alone. Consider these recent items from the April 2010 edition of Fast Company magazine: According to a psychological survey done in 1938 and again in 2007, anxiety and [...]

Chris Tse and the strange workings of God
March 24, 2010
“The Lord moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.” So wrote the poet William Cowper, though it seems each time He moves in a mysterious way there is a rushed disclaimer that it was not the Lord after all. Yesterday, I posted a short note and a video by a young Canadian man, Chris [...]
Chris Tse poem: I’m sorry I’m a Christian
March 23, 2010
A college aged friend of ours, Jordan Burk, sent this to my son and then to me. It’s from a “Poetry Slam” in Vancouver, BC, in December 2009. The young man’s name is Chris Tse and his poem is entitled, “I’m Sorry I’m A Christian.” It’s worth your four minutes whether you are a believer [...]
Will healthcare reform mean the ouster of 100′s of congressfolk?
March 22, 2010
Every two years the “throw the bums out” band starts again its mournful dirge. It matters not whether Democrats or Republicans are in control of the government, people get out of sorts, get cranky and get fed up. With the healthcare reform debate and last night’s passage of the bill by the House, the rumbling [...]
The end of the republic?
March 19, 2010
I am not an alarmist by nature. Things around me are viewed with the eyes of scrutiny, but, by and large, I don’t get excited or alarmed by bad news. When Chicken Little runs by, the natural response is to stick out my leg. Assaults on the U. S. constitution by our “representatives” on the [...]
Asylum or incarceration? Lady Liberty drops her torch
March 15, 2010
If you are like me, you’ve assumed Ladies Home Journal to be a magazine about flowers, gardens, fashion and diet always with a cover graced by, say, Brooke Shields or Faith Hill, so the cover is as far as most men ever get. I stand corrected. This month’s issue (April ’10) LHJ has a probing [...]
Glenn Beck, biblical illiteracy and running
March 11, 2010
As reported by Politics Daily (w/audio) and others, last week on his Fox News shows controversial host Glenn McCarthy Beck advised listeners to leave their churches if the churches taught the “social gospel.” To quote Beck: I’m begging you, your right to religion and freedom to exercise religion and read all of the passages of [...]
Chile vs Haiti: A quick comparison
March 1, 2010
Chile’s 8.8 earthquake has left nearly 2,000,000 homeless, at least temporarily, but the death toll currently stands at just over 700. While this is likely to rise in the coming days, already it is clear that the loss of human life will be substantially below Haiti’s 7.0 magnitude quake of January 12, 2010, in which [...]
The gospel to the poor
February 25, 2010
I’m sure I had never seen the above photo before this week. That is to say, I hope I’m not so calloused as to have forgotten such a sight: A lone vulture stalking a starving Sudanese child as she crawls toward a food center more than half a mile away. For the photo famed South-African [...]
Kim Phuc, girl in iconic Vietnam War photo, speaks of love and forgiveness
February 22, 2010
To see her picture once is to have seen it a thousand times; the image is just as sobering today as it was in June of 1972 when it appeared in newspapers around the globe. The children fleeing the fire of napalm bombs in South Vietnam, running down the road from their village and, in [...]
