Freedom to be a fool
After the attack on the French magazine Charlie Hebdo, many people were reluctant to give unreserved support for the victims because they’ve printed offense and outrageous things about many religions. In fact, some people said, in essence, sure killing people is awful but they got what was coming to them. The pope went on about […]

Lewis on Letting Go
This post may contain affiliated links. This is a variation of a very popular C.S. Lewis quote. Lewis is, of course, highly quotable, but the context of the quotes is where the real meat lies. Lewis had an enormous correspondence, and one of his pen-pals was an American woman Mary Willis Shelburne. His letters to […]

Reciting prayers
I am Protestant through and through. Moreover, I’m an American Evangelical. That means my prayers are spontaneous, unscripted, and required to have two to three “Father Gods” and at least three uses of “just” per prayer. While we may recite the Apostle’s creed once or twice a year and the Nicene Creed once a decade, […]
