When I get to heaven I will have two questions for the Lord. The first is the common query of why innocents had to suffer on Earth. The other would be why he mistakenly forgot to bequeath me with the talent and body frame necessary to be a contemporary dancer, when it was my heart’s desire for so long. Of course that ship sailed decades ago, but during my delusional habit of pretending to be a ‘pointe’ dancer while squatting to episodes of So You Think You Can Dance, I had a deep revelation...

Justice, Mercy, and Humility in a Polarized World

As this week unfolds, half of America will be furious, or crushed in spirit to say the least. Hundreds of millions of others will be elated, full of joy. Of course, a disinterested smaller segment of the population will yawn their way through the news of the day. Truly a nation divided, far from Jesus’ prayer for unity found in John 17.
