If any of you happen to know about the kerfuffle going on at Tullian Tchividjian’s mega-church Coral Ridge, and happen to care to read my little commentary on it over at Boar’s Head Tavern, you can do so here. Ahh … the American Christian Church. It’s nothing if not busy. Read more

The Winner of The First Annual John Shore 10-Word Short Story Contest

Last updated on: October 2, 2009 at 5:39 am By John Shore

First of all, let me just say that if you submitted a story to our contest, you are a winner. Yes, your story not winning means that technically you’re a loser. But just the fact that you entered at all means that you’re someone who is entirely confident they can count to ten. Not everyone can say that about themselves. A lot of people get stuck around six. I myself couldn’t count past eight until I was thirty-two. Even now... Read more

Midnight last night this morning six hours ago marked the deadline for entries in the First Annual John Shore 10-Word Short Story Contest. Three hundred fifty stories. One prize. Two books.

When Your Husband Derides Your Faith

Last updated on: September 30, 2009 at 5:31 am By John Shore

In response to a recent post of mine entitled When You Love Someone Who Doesn’t Love Christ, a woman wrote me the following heartbreaking letter: John, I don’t believe that I happened across your blog by accident. I’m fairly new to the Christian journey, being a “recovering Catholic.” When my husband and I got married eight years ago, Christ was not a strong presence in either of our lives. Things have changed for me, but not my husband. We have two... Read more

My Interview of the Rev. Horton Heat, King of Psychobilly

Last updated on: September 29, 2009 at 1:57 pm By John Shore

I don’t know if I have among my readers any Reverend Horton Heat fans—but in case I do, here is the raw text of an interview did with him back when I was doing music journalism. Ninety percent of this interview never saw light of day. (My voice is the one in italics. This was a phone interview; Mr. Heat was speaking to me from the hotel room in which he was crashing after a show he’d done that night.... Read more

Mind Reading In My Blogging Class

Last updated on: September 28, 2009 at 8:55 am By John Shore

As a child I learned from a traveling one-armed gypsy how to read the minds of others. At first I thought listening to other people’s thoughts was fun. Then it was disturbing. Then it was boring, and finally I gave it up. (Freud was right: all anybody does think about is sex and food. Unless they’re Christian. Then all they think about is pleasing God and walking with Jesus. And I’m not just saying that so my Christian readers won’t... Read more

Conservative Christians: Quit Screaming. Liberal Christians: Quit Drinking So Much Wine.

Last updated on: September 25, 2009 at 5:20 am By John Shore

I just put up a sweet Tweet: “Too many conservative Christians’ lives are too limited; too many liberal Christians too readily dismiss fundamentalism.” Ahh, quoting yourself. Is there a surer sign it’s time to swallow a bug bomb? But the point is that I’m exhausted with conservative Christians thinking that liberal Christians wouldn’t know God’s will from a venti soy caramel latte with extra foam, and with liberal Christians thinking conservative Christians are inbred morons. Christians should have a national... Read more
