the z-theory in one page

Last updated on: January 20, 2013 at 9:47 am   By David Hayward

In 2009 I had a dream that relieved my theological anxiety and brought peace: “There is a huge waterfall. Oceans of water pour over the rim of the cliff. The water tumbles down and explodes at the bottom. The deluge spreads over the land covering and consuming everything.” “There is a huge waterfall. Oceans of water pour over the rim of the cliff.” We can’t see above the rim, but we can guess that it is an infinite source. There... Read more

an abusive apology

Last updated on: January 19, 2013 at 8:38 am   By David Hayward

Let’s deconstruct this “apology”: He doesn’t apologize as a human being, a man with a heart, but as a pastor, already positioning himself in a superior role over his victim. He plays the “authority” card, implying that he has the authority to do whatever he thinks is best for his people. This is his church. Not hers. She really doesn’t have any rights or say. By the end of his apology he is only “sorry” that this is an unfortunate... Read more

in darkness and storm

Last updated on: January 16, 2013 at 6:38 pm   By David Hayward

(Prints are available here.) Sometimes we simply must weather the darkness and the storm. And sometimes, whether we like it or  not, we have to do it alone. This is as it should be, because this is as it is. Read more

all ears or all mouth

Last updated on: January 16, 2013 at 8:30 am   By David Hayward

Of course sometimes we should speak. But most the time listen. Unfortunately, for many, it’s the other way around. (If I may give a plug for my other site that you might be interested in, The Lasting Supper, I am amazed at the quality of conversations and the generosity and kindness of the listening that happens there. You might want to check it out and consider joining: CLICK HERE.) Read more

painting: we await the storm

Last updated on: January 14, 2013 at 8:43 pm   By David Hayward

The personality of the universe! So incredibly diverse. Sometimes calm. Sometimes fierce. The storms that we face in our personal lives… where can we hide? Who can abide them? What if we faced them squarely? We might escape them just barely. But I live among survivors. Every one of them, a survivor. Like you. Like me. (The original is available!)   Read more

mix fear and the need for love

Last updated on: January 14, 2013 at 8:29 am   By David Hayward

It took me while to get this cartoon right. My greatest concern was communicating what the demon is saying without making abused persons feel they were being blamed for their abuse. It’s not their fault. Rather, I wanted to emphasize how those in power can take advantage of human needs, fears and desires to accomplish their goals. Buy original art! Read more
