I have to tell you: I’m tired of American politics. I don’t watch the news or read the newspaper anymore because I find that I just get frustrated and angry over things that I apparently have no control over. Big corporations and special interested and lobbyists and political parties have hijacked our government and everyone [...]

I’m constantly amazed by my interactions with people. It seems the vast majority of us don’t realize that we are so similar to other people. Instead, we think that whatever we’re going through, however we’re thinking and acting… that somehow we’re completely unique in that. We’re not that unique. Human beings, it seems, are very [...]

You’ve seen me write about this before. It can be so upsetting to understand Christianity, to get what Jesus was talking about, and then to see the Social Conservative Nazis in the United States claim to be basing their words and actions on Christianity.I received an email yesterday that got my entire day side tracked.

I watched the Presidential speech about health care reform last night and I wanted to take a moment to talk about what President Obama got right. This isn’t about politics, health care reform, or policy… this is about more than that.
1. Character Counts.
President Obama talked briefly about a letter he received from Ted Kennedy, a [...]

I looked in the mirror this morning and saw the angry mob looking back at me. I am angry, frustrated, and looking to break something. Fast. I haven’t always been this way. I spent the last eight years quietly going about my business of being an American, keeping silent on so many issues: torture, Katrina, [...]

I just read this story at CNN about the Hicks family in Atlanta GA. It seems that we’ve developed the strange habit of not seeking help from mediators when we need it. Sometimes, it’s good to have a third party perspective on things. I know the biggest challenge is getting the word out. I don’t [...]
