This week in Year Three of EfM, we are studying The Crusades. Now I admit that really do not know too much about this period of Church history. Since I am a visual thinker, I’m in the process of finding maps to aid me in my study of this period of history. So far I [...]
Thanks to my friend,Holly, I now own a hardback copy of a title that has been on my ” must-read” list since the day it arrived on shelves. My next book of choice is _Dilemma_ by Albert Cutie+ {pronounced koo-tee eh} . his story is more than one of sex, love and a former Roman [...]
I know that * everyone* is blogging about where they were 9 years ago today so I might as well add my story to the collective pot o’ tales. It was my last semester of college & I was running very late for a class. I stopped in the Student Union to get some coffee{ [...]
My non-believing friends & family always argue wth me about what it means to be a Christian. Some of them seem to think that believing in God = moral perfection & a sense of ” surperiority”.

The Christian life is not easy. I REALLY do not trust those churches who promise ” warm fuzzies” & a quick fix. Life isn’t all” warm fuzzies” in general & surely a life centered on Christ is not meant to be easy, either. To use an image from the Holy Friday Stations of the Cross, [...]
Yes…IT is here. Oil. The first tar balls arrived not too far from where I hang out Gulf side. I am crushed. While I was not born here in the Gulf South, it has become my home. The people who live here don’t see this as a ” statistic”. This is our livelihood. Those of [...]
My major in college was journalism & I admit that lately I have been a lousy news hound. One cannot turn on the Internet without being reminded of the terrible oil in our Gulf. Even if I did not call this beautiful part of our planet my home, the images would devestate me nonetheless. On [...]
