Monday, January 31st, 2005If you didn’t see it on Saturday, catch a repeat of “Michael Jackson’s Secret Childhood” on VH1. Yes, the show feels tabloid-ish and sensational. But whatever exagerations may have been presented on the margins, the undisputed facts about Michael’s childhood are what they are: being forced to perform in strip clubs as a boy; witnessing [...]
Evangelicals Influential?
Monday, January 31st, 2005Time magazine thinks so. Congratulations, all, especially Luis Cortes of Nueva Esperanza. Generation Xcel has received $80,000 in subgrants from Esperanza’s federal Compassion Capital Grant in the last two years.
Court tomorrow
Monday, January 31st, 2005Please pray as we return to court tomorrow following a failed attempt on Friday to arrive at an out-of-court settlement in our eviction proceeding. While mediation has so far been unsuccessful, we are confident that the ultimate outcome of this case will honor God and maintain a spiritual lighthouse in the community.
What Does it Mean to be Latino?
Monday, January 31st, 2005My dad goofs on me because I claim to be Latino. He’s got a point, I guess, because (a) I don’t speak Spanish (well), (b) I look like a white boy, and (c) his wife, my mother, is about as northern European as Americans come — her parents both immigrated to the States from Norway. [...]
What Language is American?
Monday, January 31st, 2005Saturday evening I was bouncing back and forth between the Michael Jackson special (see post above) on VH1 and a PBS documentary called “Do You Speak American?” The documentary explored American dialects from Boston to El Paso and Nashville to LA and asked fundamental questions about language, identity, and cultural norms and expectations. On Sunday [...]

Congratulations, Iraq
Monday, January 31st, 2005Iraqi citizens defied terrorists yesterday as they waited in lines and proudly showed off their ink-stained fingers proving that they had voted. Nine suicide bombers killed 35, and mortar rounds injured others, but upwards of 8 million Iraqis braved the insurgency to embrace democracy and freedom for the first time in their nation’s history. Yesterday’s [...]
“I Love This, I Love This”
Monday, January 31st, 2005So screamed Judah after sleigh-riding down Owl’s Head hill last night. The shear delight of his little voice combined with the excitement in his eyes makes fatherhood the greatest joy in the world. Unfortunately, two runs later Judah plowed into another little guy about his age and felt embarassed — not to mention afraid and [...]
Underwater Aliens
Monday, January 31st, 2005My son asked yesterday if we can go to the aquarium this summer. “Of course,” I said, but I’m also showing him a preview online at Time’s Aliens of the Deep. God has such a sense of humor. Could he have created animals to look any more bizarre than these?
“This is a nontraditional course.”
Thursday, January 27th, 2005So begins the course description for the Urban Community Development class I’m teaching this semester at Alliance Theological Seminary. It continues: “Equal parts graduate seminar, academic laboratory, and clinical practicum, our overriding goal will be to understand and apply strategic leadership principles in a real-world, urban community development context. While exploring the evolution of community [...]
