This is in many ways a confession post. I’ve been married more than fifteen years. This last year my wife and I had to come to terms with what it really meant to be married. To move forward we had to seek help and learn to rebuild our marriage. It has been a painful process …
If You Really Knew Me
This is probably the best video I’ve seen this year. I dare you to watch it. This kid is 18. Such amazing honesty.
Making It Through Death
What is the meaning of suffering? Sometimes we don’t get to know until after we suffer. Some time ago a friend from college lost his infant daughter. The implosion to his family was utterly devastating and I could not begin to fathom the emotional content of that moment. I can’t even imagine what it would …
Loving Your Enemy
I just read one of the coolest posts in a long time. It reminds me why I decided to participate in the Emergent conversation. In the end, love wins.

For that is how their fathers treated the …
Remembering Our Humanity
I had a thought the other day about kids. They usually seem comfortable in their skin. And then they grow up. Before someone is a Christian… Before someone is a Jew… Before someone is a Hindu or Buddhist or Muslim… They are first a human being. Before someone is white… Before someone is black… Before …
