Among the things I struggled with during my foray into the Republican Pleasure Dome this past week was the music that was played throughout. Imagine having Ted Nugent direct the house band at a PETA/Vegan conference. There were times during the convention where I could relate. As someone whose grew up under the musical…

It’s possible that 2016 will go down as the most bizarre, polarizing, conventional-wisdom-shattering presidential election in our nation’s two hundred and forty year history. It has brought together so much in the way of synchronicities, oddballs, schisms, drama, corruption, scandals, pratfalls and fodder for conspiracy theorists, that if it were written up as the backdrop…

There are moments in life when a smattering of events suddenly lock into synchronous orbit, ever so slightly lifting the curtain that divides the temporal from the eternal and granting us a deeper glimpse into the Mystery: All the world is truly a stage and each of us are players.

But 5%? Truly, it had to be a real stinker.…

This white oak, the oldest in America and more than twice as old as our nation, is dying. Under its spreading branches George Whitefield once preached to 3,000 people as the fires of the Great Awakening began to sweep across the colonies and gave rise to the experiment in Christian liberty that is America.
