On Metaphysics.

Last updated on: August 27, 2019 at 10:24 pm By Jeff Hood

God has created us in the image of God. What happens after certainty? Reality dissipates and something more still seems to be out there. Metaphysics deals with what’s next. The subject begins with the idea that we are unbelievably more capable than we can ever know. We are life beyond life. Metaphysics is about daring to go beyond what we can prove. Always believing that there is something more. Knowing that we can change our own reality... Read more

The Body: Words from the Movement

*Delivered at Justice for All! : In Memory of Carlos High Sr. in Grand Prairie, Texas on August 24, 2019 This morning a body was found floating in the Trinity River. Let me repeat myself… This morning a body was found floating in the Trinity River. Did anybody care about that body? Did anybody take the time to search for that body? The body matters.

Porn In the Library

Last updated on: August 26, 2019 at 10:21 am By Jeff Hood

Last night, I watched the documentary A Gray State. The film follows the life of conspiracy theorist and filmmaker David Crowley. From the beginning, it is apparent that David is obsessed with documenting his entire existence while creating his film, Gray State. Without giving away too much of the documentary, the film grows darker and darker and darker by the second. Violence seems to engulf his entire world. Ultimately, David kills his wife Komel and their daughter Raniya (though other... Read more

*I don’t know the entirety of all of these stories…then again, maybe we all do. How do you write when you have nothing to say? How do you write when you have nothing to say?

God Damn Your Pledge of Allegiance

Last updated on: August 16, 2019 at 9:16 am By Jeff Hood

Every year…I go through this. Every year…there is a need for numerous emails. Every year…the questions seem to probe deeper. Every year…I have to threaten legal action to get it to stop. Every year…I fight for the religious liberty of our family. Texas schools only seem to recognize the religious liberty of one group…those who have US flags hanging in the sanctuary of their churches…those who believe that the US military is a divine instrument of God…those who...
