Tuesday, June 14th, 2005Kudos to prosecutors in Philadelphia, Mississippi, for finally bringing murder charges against white supremacist and long-suspected lynch mob killer Edgar Lee Killen. Jury selection began yesterday, even as a KKK Imperial Wizard welcomed Killen to the courthouse. Killen, a former KKK recruiter, is accused of organizing the kidnapping and murder of three civil rights workers [...]
ONE Voice AGAINST Global Hunger and AIDS
Tuesday, June 14th, 2005Join evangelical leaders such as Billy Graham, Rick Warren, and John Stott, along with celebrities such as Bono, Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz, and Cameron Diaz (who said evangelicals and Hollywood can’t mix?) in urging President Bush and ordinary Americans to increase support for the fight against global AIDS, starvation, and extreme poverty. Check out the [...]
Unoriginal
Monday, June 13th, 2005The rivalry between the NY Daily News and NY Post took an unexpected turn today. The papers are bitter competitors with antagonistic politics, publishers that resent each other, and a penchant for headline one-upmanship. But today the ice thawed as, for the first time in my memory, both papers agreed on a headline and printed [...]
The gospel according to “Missionary” Mike Tyson
Monday, June 13th, 2005“I want to develop my life into missionary (work). I’m not going to be a Jesus freak. But that’s what I’m going to give my life to. I love Jesus and I believe in Jesus, too  and I’m a Muslim. Listen, I got a imam, I got a rabbi, I got a priest, I [...]
Pressing on
Monday, June 13th, 2005On the first Sunday of every November for the last 36 years, the greatest city in the world effectively shuts down in order to accomodate 35,000 crazies who want to run outside my apartment building for the annual New York City Marathon. It’s quite a sight. For nearly an hour a seemingly endless mob of [...]
From one Mike to Another
Monday, June 13th, 2005“I’ll never be happy. “I believe I’ll die alone. I would want it that way. I’ve been a loner all my life with my secrets and my pain. I’m really lost, but I’m trying to find myself. “I’m really a sad, pathetic case.” – Mike Tyson, as told to Michael Jackson (not really) movie clips [...]
It makes the world so much smaller
Monday, June 13th, 2005I don’t know who this is, but she said my blog, along with several others, inspired her to return to posting. Moyra Jean, glad to be of service. If you’re reading this, feel free to make an introduction. I love cyberspace because it makes the world so much smaller. I’ve “virtually” met so many wonderful [...]
(One of) My Life Verse(s)
Friday, June 10th, 2005I’ve gotten reflective again this week. Perhaps it’s from the Celebration or Monday’s board meeting or orienting the interns to the ministry or the anticipation that the BG Crusade is nearing its end or all of the above. Who knows why exactly, but who really cares anyway? All the reflecting reminded me of one of [...]
NCAA Semifinals feature …
Friday, June 10th, 2005… my girl, Ahndrea Allen. Tonight, she’s competing in the semifinals of the 400 at the NCAA Track and Field Championship in Sacramento, Califoria at 10:40 p.m. (EDT). PRAY for her! (Ahndrea’s brother Andrew was named one of Xcel’s “Volunteers of the Year” at last week’s Celebration.)
Not Guilty
Friday, June 10th, 2005It’s a legal standard that means a prosecutor failed to prove a suspect’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. A jury decided today that Michael Jackson is not guilty of molesting one particular 13-year-old-boy because Prosecutor Tom Sneddon failed to meet that standard. In post-trial interviews, the jurors mostly pinned their reasonable doubt on the boy’s [...]
