I was recently unfriended on Facebook. Shocking, I know. It may (or may not) surprise you to hear that it was by one of the most vocal promoters of tolerance and acceptance in my cyber Rolodex. For those of you who don’t already know, the Facebook stages of grief are: disbelief, outrage, snark, questioning and…
I live in The Land of the Left and sometimes it can be scarier than being chased by dinosaurs and stalked by sleestacks. More often though, it is a place where I live by principal and risk being despised by some and misunderstood by many. I live where gay marriage is legal. This raises a fairly…
Men should not have to pay child support if they don’t want to be a father. Each individual man (not the government or politicians) should determine the course of his life. A man has a right to privacy, and a constitutional right to reproductive freedom, so even if he conceives a child he shouldn’t have…
Today Christ-followers celebrate the great swap. The prophets and patriarchs looked forward to it. Today we look back at it. It was the mysterious moment when the living God took his first breath in a plan to rescue His children. The baby was the glorious exchange. He forfeited heavenly attributes, a luxurious home, and the…
Once upon a time there was this ubergay character on the most popular reality TV show of all time named Bill Hobertson. This guy was the quintessential gay man. Such a gay man he was almost a caricature of the Gay Man. On every single episode, Bill and his post-nuclear family were unapologetic about their…
In the comments I’ve made mention of my spry, red-headed editor. But this woman, let’s just call her “Frau M,” deserves some direct recognition. Let me state this plainly- this blog would be b.o.r.i.n.g if I were working alone. This is how it goes with us: I crank out an uber-serious, way-too-heavy post and send…
A young couple at our church is considering marriage. Ahh youth. They are wondering about the usual stuff. Can they afford a wedding, making a home when they are Man and Wife and, because my church takes all this old God stuff seriously, how to keep themselves sexually pure until they are wed. Those things are…
Since I have SO VERY MUCH TIME on my hands to wander the internet haplessly and eat Bon Bons I decided to lavish some of my endless leisure time on a blog post I stumbled upon entitled “Why I Raise My Children Without God.” Such a title was obviously written to get my personal…
NPR shared this link. My comment on their thread: There are many of us (Christians who understand that neither homosexual behavior nor gay marriage is condoned by God) who are joyfully setting a place at our Thanksgiving table for our family and friends who are gay. You will not hear their thoughtful, biblical, and informed…
I’m back. Try to control your excitement, you’re embarrassing yourself. I have been in the deep dark hole of DIY home remaking and it has consumed every spare minute. This remaking theme has actually extended to other areas of my life as well. There is something afoot among the women of my church. Best described…
