Pagans, Witches and Wyman, Oh My!
I would like to start this article very carefully. First, I want all of you scaredy-cat Christians to make sure all of your house lights are on, that you’ve anointed the whole house with oil and are grasping your favorite crucifix, rosary or Mary chain. Make sure the television is on […]
Sometimes I Wonder
Sometimes I wonder if I go to church because I like the routine and ritual of it all.
Perhaps it’s more out of a schedule than spiritual journey that I get up early every Sunday.
Sometimes I wonder if believing in God is easier than not believing in God.
Maybe I believe in God because it’s easier, […]
The Negative Edge
Accountability. Somewhere, the church has lost it, misplaced its value, overlooked its necessity. In the place of accountability for our actions, we’ve been ran over with the proverbial “do-not-judge-me” semi diesel-guzzling truck. We’ve stopped pointing fingers because of the fear that we could be wrong. We don’t want to be the snitch. No one likes […]
Because We Want The Cure
I should be honest here, I’m writing a commentary on a subject with which I have no desire to take an active role. The problems are left for the problem-solvers. And maybe, one day, I will have matured enough to do more than talk, but rest assured, today is not that day.
For church leaders, the […]
On Being Bilingual
I love the Romance languages, Spanish and Italian being my favorites. The sound of someone speaking in one of these languages is literally music to my ears. Even though I’m Hispanic, I learned all of my Spanish in school. In high school I was certified bilingual, and it was then that I starting experiencing the […]
Love Thy [Gay] Neighbor
In light of the recent Ted Haggard debacle, I’ve been thinking about some things. And to be honest with you, this isn’t an uncommon debate in Christian circles (no kidding, right). There are thousands of churches who will flat out tell you that “the gays and lesbians are going to hell.” I hate to say […]
Perks of being a Christ follower
I’ve noticed this presence lately, like someone is always with me, watching over me. It’s just started since I’ve become a Christian, but week by week the feeling grows stronger. I may get caught up during the day and forget about, but sooner or later I feel it again. It’s as if […]
Praying Drunk
Maybe you haven’t been drunk. Maybe drinking has never been a temptation for you. For most people however, this isn’t the case. Most people have a favorite beer. Some people have a favorite liquor. Mine is tequila.
I understand that a lot of Christians look down on drinking of any type. But my understanding of the […]
There Are Demons
People call me a tortured soul. Sometimes seriously, mostly in jest. With the Western mentality, entities like tortured souls are treated like the bums on William Cannon and I-35. In another words, with fear.Were supposed to get over it. Take some sort of pill and deal with it. Even within the media, take The Sopranos […]
The Spirituality Of Sigur Ros
Let me start by saying that I’ve heard all the excuses. Every Bible verse, every theological argument–I’ve heard it all. I was raised by the most fundamental of fundamentalists. And I’m going to be real honest here, I think it’s bullocks. And yes, I’m fully aware that you’ve read 4.5 sentences and are still thinking: […]
