Wednesday, August 1st, 2007The Carrasco Clan are East Siders this week, visiting Kafi’s family in Brooklyn. They invited me to join them for BBQ last night (Diana and Judah are returning from Massachusetts tonight), with Grandma Muslimah once again preparing quite a feast. Rudy made a day trip today to speak at Urban Promise in Camden, NJ … [...]
There he goes again
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005Rudy’s back to stirring the waters, this time on “What’s Missing from Justice Ministry.” His basic points: not enough emphasis on investment and development for the poor, and an unhealthy overemphasis on protest and “speaking truth to powerâ€Â; we do not expect enough of the poor, and instead we find ourselves practicing “the soft bigotry [...]
Rudy has the cover of Prism magazine
Wednesday, September 7th, 2005His “Surfacing Hispanic Leaders†is the September-October cover story. Check it out here. (Thanks for the shout-out!)

Thursday, August 18th, 2005We’ve been counting down the days to August 16, five-year-old Samuel Carrasco’s last day of major chemo. It’s been over a year since his leukemia diagnosis last summer, and Judah has prayed for him nearly every day since we first got the news. On August 17th, Sam’s fatigued little body needed a blood transfusion. The [...]

Deep thoughts, Rudy style, on “how the gospel liberates the poor”: The gospel liberates the poor because it expects things from them. To be exact, the gospel expects things of all who call on the name of Christ. peterka 4er mp3mp3 4st 7lbmp3 5cds deftones unreleased discographymp3 426 hemimp3 67es tonklub 4f mp3 apadeath mp3 [...]
Caption Contest
Tuesday, May 24th, 2005Over at Rudy’s blog. Enter to win Starbucks coffee. Rudy took the picture with his Treo phone, emailed it to his Powerbook, then wi-fi’d the picture to his blog, all in about 3 minutes. Technology these days is sick. Meanwhile, we forgot to take a picture of Sam and Judah together yesterday.
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 [...]
Pray for peace today in SoCal
Thursday, May 5th, 2005Ordinarily I would be skeptical of things like this as internet hoaxes, but Rudy is a source I trust. Apparently, Los Angeles anticipates gang bloodshed today between Mexican and black youths. Please join Rudy in praying for: “Protection for anyone targeted, for people of violence to be removed, or the spirit of violence to be [...]
Someone has an agenda
Sunday, April 24th, 2005“Porn is just another form of entertainment now.” At least, that’s what the L.A. Times apparently would have you believe. Check out this sobering article Rudy references about S-E-X.
