Tuesday, May 24th, 2005Planned Parenthood style. Thanks to Nicole Baker of the Boro Pregnancy Counseling Center for sending me the link. [Offer] “prom survival kits” containing breath mints, confetti, condoms, and a $10 coupon for contraceptive services, because if there is even the remotest possibility that you are going to have sexual intercourse on prom night, then latex [...]
Leaning Back
Tuesday, May 24th, 2005A couple of weeks ago a visitor to the Billy Graham office here in New York asked if I was from California. Said I was too laid back to be a New Yorker, and my shaggy hair gives off a surfer vibe. Nah, I’m definitely a New Yawka, born and raised. I love living in [...]
Coincidence
Tuesday, May 24th, 2005Two summers ago in California, I met a couple that helped inspire “What Would Jay-Z Do: Engaging the Culture.” They’re anonymous in the article, partly because their identity wasn’t the point and partly because I forgot their names. (I’m terrible with names. Nothing personal, please.) Since then I’ve tried to figure out who they were, [...]
Supreme Court Politics and Abortion
Tuesday, May 24th, 2005On the same day that the United States Senate averted the so-called Nuclear Option on judicial nominees (at least for now), the current Supreme Court agreed to re-enter the abortion debate. Interesting that the litmus test issue of our day, about which most judicial broohahas relate, would apparently come before the Supremes one more time [...]
Wow
Tuesday, May 24th, 2005What a week. California was great (more on that later), but yesterday was a huge faith builder for my son and me. Because of my trip to CA, we nearly missed the Carrasco visit to New York this weekend, but they extended their stay an extra two days so Judah was able to meet Samuel [...]
This is why
Tuesday, May 17th, 2005“I have heard many times, from students who share the distinction of coming from the ‘projects,’ that their deepest fear is to try to ‘finish college,’ ‘lead a ministry,’ etc. — and fail. As a certified project girl I would like to challenge that. I think the ‘project plight’ lies not in the fear of [...]
Still a front page man
Monday, May 16th, 2005Today’s USA Today profiles Billy Graham in a cover story called, “The gospel of Billy Graham: Inclusion.” Some of the highlights, On S-E-X: “Before he asks God’s help, Graham says, he begins with praise and thanksgiving for God’s gifts: the beauties and bounty of nature, ‘even the pleasures of sex, within the boundaries of marriage,’ [...]
Kingdom Contradictions?
Monday, May 16th, 2005Is this what Jesus meant by the “kingdom of heaven”? “So successful are some evangelicals that they’re opening up branches like so many new Home Depots or Subways…. “For all their seemingly unstoppable success, evangelicals must contend with powerful forces in U.S. society. The ranks of Americans who express no religious preference have quadrupled since [...]
I feel the need for speed
Monday, May 16th, 2005“‘Internet2 is a thousand to 10,000 times faster than the networks that people typically have in their homes.’ The network is so fast that downloading an entire feature-length film isn’t a matter of hours or days, but mere minutes or even seconds.” More here.
Big year for graduates – much love and respect
Sunday, May 15th, 20052005 is shaping up to be a HUGE college graduation year for me. Last Saturday, Ahndrea Allen got the party started by completing Northeastern University. Ahndrea was in my youth group for five or so years before moving to Boston for college. She’s a track star and musical standout who is currently deciding between offers [...]
