A Woman’s Place
Have you seen the Stepford Wives? I have. The new one, not the old one. I love it, it cracks me up. There’s this part that gets me every time. It’s between Bette Midler and Jon Lovitz who are husband and wife and they’re arguing.
Jon: Did you finish the […]
Not Of This World
Every other week, a church small group meets in my apartment to discuss topics of faith, the world in which we live and culture. I’m proud to say that our group is rather diverse for our size, all of us coming from different backgrounds, different denominations, faiths, politics and even skin color. Vida (my wife), […]
Fairy Tales
I miss fairy tales.
That might sound like a strange statement, but I do. The older I get, the more I realize that I, for lack of a better word, abhor the world in which I live. And before you start, my dear reader, to lecture me about my cynical thoughts and Donny Darko outlook on […]
The Truth Is Out There
My first truly mortifying experience when I moved to Austin occurred on a Monday night. I was sitting in my living room watching TV when someone knocked on the door. I knew about two people in Austin so I couldn’t imagine who was at my door. The creepy thing was that I […]
The Kitsch Christian

The Numinous
I was reading Phil Wyman’s weblog the other day, where he was “synchroblogging” about the topic of spiritual warfare. And after finishing the post, I found that I really had nothing to say concerning the matter, only to discover four hours later that I did. I’m not one to discuss things in a group setting. […]
Jesus Sucks
When I was in school, I took one of those tests that supposedly help you determine your “career path.” In fact, I took it a few times. Guess what I was supposed to be when I had “grown all up?”
A psychologist.
See, for those of you who don’t know me, I have a problem. If you […]
Shake Down, 1979
When the Smashing Pumpkins’ came out with Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and inherently their single, 1979, I remember falling in love. I must have been 15 or 16, just coming into my own in the area of musical taste (previously, this was dictated by my parents’ contemporary Christian crap), and I had never […]
