Saw the headlines about Michael Lang today. It’s like the kid in Cinema Paradiso, back in town, to find the old movie theatre demolished, making way for a parking lot, while his old mentor/projectionist had died and left him with just a gag reel. I was that cinema kid: glued to the silver screen (our…

In late Fall 1975, the Sycamore house-church, a composite of highly unlikely people got together to share meals, thoughts and good works. Special guest in attendance: me.

AP piece today features Dubai, its “meter-long” brunch bills and night-long dancing clubs. Newly minted millionaires, of bit coin and crypto currency, cashed out to buy condos. A gem and a rare place on Earth. We – here in the US – used to be the envy of the world: the NYC and Vegas countdowns,…

In Mayfield, KY, more than 100 workers worked the night shift, were making, of all things, candles. Then darkness and destruction strike. Power outage. Where are the candles when we needed them. Where is God when we needed Him. Where is everybody, EMTs, firefighters, police when we needed them. Everywhere, all we can see is…
