I’m going to start a review section of books and music (and maybe even some movies) with the eye of a Christian who’s been burned by the Church, is over God’s “children” (aka His spoiled brats), and desires something a little deeper from the Source. I’m calling it “Perspectives from the Transcendr”.
Free thinking Christianity isn’t [...]

Constantine Rides Again
This particular post has taken me a long time to complete. That frustrates me to no end. On the flip side, I seem to find more evidence to lend credence to this article. It’s a Catch-22 that this post lingers, but I’m thankful for it, and soon you’ll see why.
So… to begin:
For the last 8 [...]
Sunday Morning Adventures
So.
Which is the more “spiritual”? Is it:
a) Going to yet another church, in the hopes of finding something that might resemble home?
OR
b) Taking the car-full of kids to Chuck E. Cheese really early, and letting them goof off to their hearts’ content?
I know. There’s no real comparison between the two. I mean, seriously - isn’t [...]
My Scratched Glasses
Lately, I’ve been dealing with a problem regarding perspective. And it started with my glasses.
I’ve been actively wearing glasses since about the age of seventeen. And after spending years having to make the switch between sunglasses and my regular prescription, I took the plunge, got Transition lenses, and anti-glare coating, and the anti-scratch coating as [...]
Back after a long sabbatical.

My goal is to get to one post a week. So, here’s the inaugural post for July. [...]
A Momentary Break.
I’m taking a break from our “Enough” conversation, just to comment on an article that is in this month’s issue of Rolling Stone. Before you continue reading this post, you MUST read this article.
OK. I’ll assume that you read the article. I know that it was long, but hey, this is journalism at work.
I think [...]
Enough, Part Two
Since I made my first post, I’ve had some time to think about the reasonable explanation (from a purely human perspective) why evil things happen for seemingly no acceptable reason. And from a human perspective, it’s pretty clear to me that you’re only left with three options:
1. The “Deists” were right all along. God is [...]
Enough, Part One
It’s been a disastrous few weeks, and we have the pictures to prove it.
Etched into the global consciousness is one image after another, detailing the horror of Myanmar and China. We have cumulative death tolls as the punctuation to so many conversations.
This is shock and awe.
In the midst of this, there is the deep theological [...]
