Writer Without Kitty

Yesterday we said goodbye to our beloved kitty, Wrangler. I am now a writer without a kitty. We adopted her in January 2012 — her name was an homage to the Grand Canyon Mule Trip our family took in late 2011. I have almost always had a lap cat. (I paid tribute to Krystal here.) […]

Quotations about Bread — fodder for sermons on John 6:1-21

Bread is so elemental! Issues about gluten aside, bread has long been regarded as the staff of life. Loaves of bread appear frequently in the Bible, from Jesus’ first temptation to his last supper. One of the best known of Jesus’ miracles is that he fed hungry crowds — 5,000 people or more — by […]

My Review of “Christ and the Multiverse” by David Williams

Who’s Responsible for the Male Gaze?

In the past few days, a Baptist minister from Missouri, Stewart-Allen Clark, has garnered national attention. (A snippet from the viral video of the sermon is linked below.) He preaches specifically about the male gaze, telling women that they’re responsible for what their husbands look at. “Don’t give him a reason to be looking around.” […]

The Virgin Mary

Growing up as a Protestant, I learned to hold the Virgin Mary at arm’s length, but over the years, I’ve come to adore her. Four years ago I wrote a piece for the Washington Post. At the time it made a bit of a fuss, largely because Breitbart was trending hard, and picked up on […]
