(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 [...]
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.

Losing Races: a Dream Deferred
Sunday, January 16th, 2005In honor of the Dr. Martin Luther King holiday, I wanted to excerpt Losing Races: A Dream Deferred on my blog. It tells of an experience I had in 2003 at a conference sponsored by one of America’s foremost evangelical ministries. Sadly, I endured many similar experiences in 2004. Please consider reading the piece in [...]

Replicating “by youth for youth” as ten teens co-founded Xpress, our second after school program in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. 2. Graduating the inaugural class of 18 XL Service Corps members from Boot Camp, [...]
The X Factor – Redefining a Generation for Xmas
Friday, December 10th, 2004“Scrooge has gotten younger. The new face of the famously stingy foil is no longer old or crotchety. According to the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, Generation Xers – roughly those of us 23-39 years old – are the new misers. … “The Scrooge of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic doesn’t remain greedy forever. Haunted [...]
