Motivating
Friday, June 17th, 2005“I love evangelicals. You can get them to do anything. The challenge is, you’ve also got to soften their judgmental attitudes before they can be effective.”
Judah, Meet Jesus
Thursday, June 16th, 2005[The following true story occurred yesterday.]“Why didn’t we help him?” As Judah’s confused yet compassionate eyes gazed at mine, his words cut deep. We had just passed a panhandler in Chinatown on the way to introduce mom to Joe’s Shanghai’s soupy dumplings. I had taken Judah the night before, just the two of us, on [...]
(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 [...]
Aliens in the world
Friday, June 10th, 2005Noel Castellanos has a great post about the church’s responsibilities in immigration reform. One would think that Christians, whom the Apostle Peter and the writer of Hebrews both refer to as “aliens in this world,” would be especially sensitive to the needs of immigrants in our country. Yet often the most strident “close-the-borders/send-them-home” activitists are [...]

A friend of my wife’s used that phrase to describe herself recently. Yet she’s a self-made women with a successful business and ambitious vision for her future, a no-nonsense go-getter who creates opportunities for success. And she appears fearless. But beneath it all, she still perceives herself simply as a, “Daddy, love me,” girl. Now [...]
You gotta love him
Wednesday, June 1st, 2005(Well, maybe you won’t, but …) Bono’s making waves for kind words about President Bush and — gasp! — Senator Jesse Helms. It takes courage for any celebrity, but especially one of the world’s biggest rock stars and its most outspoken activist, to speak kindly about archconservatives like W and Helms. But he manages to [...]
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 [...]
Motorcycle Diaries
Sunday, April 24th, 2005I finally got around to watching Motorcyle Diaries this weekend, after anticipating it since last summer. On the whole, I was disappointed with the movie, as a movie, because of a pace that d-r-a-g-g-e-d at parts, and the inclusion of too many “roadtrip” cliches. But the point of the film I loved, even though Ernesto [...]
