Sunday, August 14th, 2005“The year 1776, celebrated as the birth year of the nation, … was for those who carried the fight for independence forward a year of all-too-few victories, of sustained suffering, disease, hunger, desertion, cowardice, disillusionment, defeat, terrible discouragement, and fear, as they would never forget, but also of phenomenal courage and bedrock devotion to country, [...]
Get over it
Friday, August 12th, 2005[Click the image for a larger view] Even at 10 years old, Caleb found time to keep a journal. Not everyday, but often enough that it contained some profound insights. One of my favorites included a sketch, with a caption that reads: “I always have faith in God. Somedays I don’t feel like it but [...]
These are the times that try men’s souls
Thursday, August 11th, 2005I’ve been reading 1776 this summer. Completing it has taken far too long, but the delays were evidently a divine thing. They insured that I would read this passage on the train this morning: “In August, [General George] Washington had an army of 20,000. In the three months since, he had lost four battles — [...]

Happy Father’s Day, Dad

Read the testimony below, originally written August 16, 2004.______________________________________________ Two weeks ago, August 4, 2004, my dad miraculously survived a near fatal motorcycle accident. He and two minister friends [...]
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 [...]
under PRESSURE
Wednesday, June 1st, 2005Any Freudian insights here? Normally I loathe David Bowie’s music, but the hook to his song “Under Pressure” has been pulsating in my mind for the last hour. So I looked up the lyrics and found these, which I never knew before: Insanity laughs under pressure we’re cracking Can’t we give ourselves one more chance? [...]
“When I became a man”
Monday, May 9th, 2005Note to readers: This post starts rambling at the end and needs to be edited. Feel free to peruse it in its unfinished state or come back later for a bit more refinement. ——— Friday I fired off a quick post about needing prayer. Thanks to those who prayed.

A new kind of Christian
Monday, May 2nd, 2005… keeps his word, unlike my promise to blog about Brian McLaren’s book of the same title when I read it last month. MK reminded me of my transgression so I’ll make an introductory comment beyond the half dozen or so brief references weeks ago. God’s timing remains ever mysterious to me. When it seems [...]
Eight days since my last post
Monday, May 2nd, 2005… so I wanted this to be a good one. For time’s sake, it has to be short as well. I read in the paper this morning that NJ Nets coach Lawrence Frank tried to inspire his team to victory in Game 4 yesterday by posting a classic MLK quote at the players’ lockers. The [...]
