Monday, March 14th, 2005Judah’s laying in my bed composing yet another original song. Here’s the chorus: “In my little heart, I know about my God … and I never forget about Him.”
Weird
Monday, March 14th, 2005I’m not big into murderers, but I posted about two of them this morning. And I was violently ill all weekend. Hmm…
Heros among us
Monday, March 14th, 2005Inspired by faith and a willingness to treat a mass murderer humanely, 26-year old Ashley Smith heroically survived capture by Atlanta courthouse shooting suspect Brian Nichols. Smith said she asked Nichols if she could read. She retrieved a Bible and a copy of “The Purpose-Driven Life.” She said he asked her to repeat a paragraph [...]

Serial murder suspect retains leadership at Church
Monday, March 14th, 2005This story is baffling. Charged with ten murders between 1974 and 1991, BTK (“Bind, Torture, Kill”) serial murder suspect Dennis Rader was finally identified after coming out of hiding to taunt local media and police in the last few months. Yet the pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, where Rader served as president of the Church [...]
Healthy Monday?
Monday, March 14th, 2005Last week I played the role of nurse for my sick wife and son. This weekend I was the patient. Saturday was a great day. Judah woke up without a fever for the first time since Tuesday. Diana was also feeling much better and spent the day with her aunt at a conference in Queens. [...]
"Waiting for Medici vs. Fight Club"
Friday, March 11th, 2005Check out Rudy’s thoughts on resourcefulness. I’m feelin’ this, mainly because it so aptly describes our story. Thirteen iner city kids ages 14-22 started Generation Xcel in 1996 with no money, no space, no equipment, and no paid staff. And no Medici (benefactor).

Odale, vato. The homies are comin
Friday, March 11th, 2005I spent the afternoon with John Teter and three of his InterVarsity leaders from Long Beach, California. They’re planning a six week urban intensive this summer with a dozen or so students, and they’re crashin’ with us in New York. After a couple hours with the Dodger lovin’ wanna-be-Yankee fans, it’s clear we’re gonna have [...]
Muslim clerics denounce Osama
Friday, March 11th, 2005What’s amazing about this story is that it’s taken over three and a half years since 9/11 for Muslim clerics to issue “the world’s first fatwa, or Islamic edict, against Osama bin Laden … calling him an apostate and urging others of their faith to denounce the al Qaeda leader.” Why?
