“Don’t Bring Black People”
Donald Sterling is the owner (for now) of the NBA Los Angeles Clippers. This past week, a recording of a conversation between Sterling and his almost-50-years-younger mistress surfaced, setting news networks, the sports world, and social media ablaze. Sterling has never professed to be a model of morality. But no one expected to hear what … Continue reading “Don’t Bring Black People”
When God Looks At Me What Does He See?
***Forgive me for the length of this post. I went back to trim & edit. But, I felt i needed to include every word. This past year i attended a wedding.

The Movie is “Facebook”. Your role is the Loser.
“Hallelujah”
Another gorgeous rendition of Cohen's classic..... A friend sent this video to me. I made the mistake of viewing it while in my "local saloon" (Starbucks). By the final verse I was weeping heavily - in large part, because, due to my son's death last May, my appreciation for Christ's cross & resurrection has gone … Continue reading “Hallelujah”
Why I Agree With the “Freedom From Religion Foundation”
[Religion is nothing more than] "myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds." FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) Couldn't agree more with the FFRF. Aren't you glad that Christianity isn't based on religion (man's pursuit of God), but on Christ (God's pursuit of man)? We are saved not by rules, but by relationship - … Continue reading Why I Agree With the “Freedom From Religion Foundation”
Out of Your Mind
