Jackass Jesus – Blasphemy, Arab Spring, Pussy Riot
I raised a few eyebrows recently by quoting an imaginary conversation between a First Century Christian and a Roman citizen worshipping the pagan deities: “My God may be a ‘Jackass’, but at least he doesn’t rape, lie, and steal like the pagan gods.” I admit it seems odd to hear a Bible teacher call his [...] Continue reading

Life doesn’t have to suck.
This morning was an exact replica of just another lousy morning… My alarm went off. I died inside. I pressed snooze… 10 minutes later (it felt like 10 seconds,) it went off again. And again. And again. Never have I … Continue reading →

My Baby is a Biohazard
Why did no one tell me that the hardest part of parenting (so far) is flu season? Maybe I should’ve remembered my mother’s many days taking care of an ever-rotating sick roll of five children. But I didn’t. Just before … Continue reading

Two months ago I made a goal to blog at least once a month. Clearly I have not been meeting this goal. I could offer many excuses such as computer problems, I have a 1-year-old, and the always-applicable “things have … Continue reading →
