The First Lady of Fashion

Last updated on: January 22, 2013 at 7:50 am By Lauren Rambo

As fashion insiders gushed over Michelle Obama’s ruby chiffon and velvet gown by Jason Wu, an observer noted that the First Lady was the biggest thing to happen to fashion in decades. And it wasn’t an overstatement from a diehard Obama supporter; it was completely accurate. Unlike many of her predecessors who were caricatured as either dowdy or vain, Mrs. Obama has managed to build her status as a deep and serious person and simultaneously wear high-end fashion. Her much... Read more

Jane Roe Is Not Our Trophy

Last updated on: January 22, 2013 at 1:09 pm By Lauren Rambo

After years as an abortion activist, Norma McCorvey (the Roe in Roe v. Wade) befriended a pastor who shared the gospel with her. She believed, was baptized, and now spends her days working tirelessly to overturn the landmark legislation that made her famous. The End. We love a good conversion story, don’t we? The more depraved the person before knowing Christ, the better. But we sometimes balk at dealing with the messy details of their humanity. In Vanity Fair’s February... Read more

The Kiddy Pool: The Viral Dog and the Unattainable Donkey

Last updated on: January 22, 2013 at 11:53 am By Erin Wyble Newcomb

My elder daughter wants a donkey for a pet. “Don’t you think a donkey would like me, Mama?” she asked. “Of course!” I replied. “What’s not to like?” Then I tried to explain how much donkeys eat, and how we have a very small yard with close neighbors. And we have two cats who might not like being displaced by yet another creature. But we have a yard in front and in back, she insisted. So really, the donkey ought... Read more

Music Matters: Healing for Two Devastating Sandys

The response of musicians to two recent tragedies and the Christian responsibility to do justice through music. Each Tuesday in Music Matters, Matthew Linder looks at happenings in the music realm and why they matter. Can music do justice? We might think that moments of seeking justice through music are rare but when disaster strikes, music is always the first to respond.

We Can’t Pay Bills with Monopoly Money

Last updated on: January 23, 2013 at 9:23 am By S. L. Whitesell

Ah, debt, our old friend and comforter in times of need. Who among us has never turned to easy credit in times of trouble? Mortgage loans on our homes, credit cards for flexible spending power, student loans as an investment in our own human capital. You might have a debt, you might have some debt, you might have debts. But the United States of America has The Debt. The definite article signifies two things. For one, it suggests that it is... Read more
