This song is now a few years old, but with tomorrow being the International Day against Torture, and thinking about the war that enshrined torture as government policy, it still seems appropriate. The US invasion of Iraq lit a fuse that is still burning 12 years later. Let's join with System of a Down and say "Boom! The peace of God will still prevail! System of a Down. Aung San Suu Kyi.

Sharing in spirituality, politics, books, movies, music, sports, and other odds and ends through Sheltie-colored lenses. Destination unknown (with a nod to Missing Persons). For the entirety of my Christian life—reckoning it from the time of my baptism in August 1986—I have heard about the journey of Abraham and Sarah. (Actually, I heard it before that.) God spoke to Abraham and basically said, “Hit the road! To do—and we wanted. Having said all that, we don’t have a sense of panic. But I would...Which e...

It has been since 1992 that I called this state “home.”. Now it’s home to both myself and Banu. I (and we) have visited numerous times, and noticed gradual changes in both family and the geographical area, but now we want to set down some actual roots.

We gave our notice to the folks where we’ve been serving as interim co-pastors. In a couple of months, Banu and I will be moving to Tennessee, which I left in 1991. I look forward to re-acquainting myself with Nashville, which continues to grow, not only in population, but more importantly, in diversity. We left Philadelphia in 1997. Arthur C. Clarke.

Even the poster boy for evildoing has a bit of class.
