Serenity Thwarted

We are prisoners in a broken culture.

Noteworthy

I stumbled onto an old album by Pete Seeger at the Sing-along Sanders Theater. The album covers many traditional and folk songs. As the name would imply, the audience sings along. One song in particular just released waves of pent up emotion coursing thought my veins. It was “Amazing Grace.” I was at my desk, […]

Now is the winter of our…

Discontent For those of you who have followed by blog over the years, I sincerely apologize if I have caused you metaphysical whiplash. But here I go again. I have been thinking a lot about the book Naked Spirituality again, specifically winter. I won’t bore you with my substandard summary. But I will say that […]

Good is the new awful

Forgive me FSP, for I have not blogged. My job has been kicking my butt of late. But it pays the bills, so I cannot complain too much. But I have been coming home completely drained of creative energy. Thus my blog has suffered. So I am getting back on the horse today. It is […]

Imagine, part 7

Thud! I start this posting with a quote from Pink Floyd’s The Wall. It is written from the perspective of a husband to his wife. But I use it here to describe the next phase of my faith journey. Day after day, love turns grey Like the skin of a dying man. Night after night, […]

Imagine, part 6

Crash! I preface this post with a couple of thoughts. It is impossible for me to put into words how much I love my son. He inspires me daily. Let me be clear I do not in any way, shape or form blame him for what happened to me. What follows is purely the result […]
