Last updated on: February 26, 2014 at 7:47 am By Tim Suttle

Matthew 5:38-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, do not resist an evildoer.

On How Small the Christian Peace Movement Is (w/ Gratitude to the Anabaptists)

Last updated on: February 25, 2014 at 4:59 pm By Tim Suttle

“It is sometimes discouraging to see how small the Christian peace movement is, and especially here in America where it is most necessary. But we have to remember that this is the usual pattern, and the Bible has led us to expect it. Spiritual work is done with disproportionately small and feeble instruments. And now above all when everything is so utterly complex, and when people collapse under the burden of confusions and cease to think at all, it is... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: February 24, 2014 at 8:53 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I have received a newly edited version of Shrink. We’re at the point in the editing process where everything switches to paper. So, this is my first go-round at edits w/a red pen in hand. I have less than a month to get it done. I confess that the manuscript is currently sitting on my desk at home poking fun at me, and verbally taunting me whenever I walk by. I confess that I am not the least bit... Read more

Robin Thicke Has a Big… Problem & So Does Pop Music: A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: February 21, 2014 at 7:35 am By Tim Suttle

So my kids are into pop music, which means that we’ve been listening to a lot of Imagine Dragons and Maroon Five lately. Some of this stuff is pretty amazing. Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars… these guys are incredibly talented. They can write, they can play, they can sing, they can dance, they are simply amazing performers. Sometimes, however, pop music lyrics make me want to stab something in my ear to make the music stop. Sexual innuendo and double entendre... Read more

The Necessity of Articulation

Last updated on: February 18, 2014 at 3:40 pm By Tim Suttle

“Everything healthy, everything certain, everything holy, if we can find such things, they all need to be emphasized and articulated. For this it is necessary that there be communication between the hearts and minds of men, communication and not the noise of slogans or the repetition of cliches. Communication is becoming more and more difficult, and … speech is in danger of perishing or being perverted in the amplified noise of beasts…. There is therefore it seems to me every... Read more

I confess that I’m sitting here watching The Price is Right with my kids… this show is timeless. It’s the perfect game show. A young mom about our age just won the showcase & her girl friends (they look like they’re on a trip together), stormed the stage & they went nuts. It’s funny… I know that this show is one of the powerful liturgies enacted in support of consumerism, but watching it never gets old. I confess that to... Read more

Lego Movie Bloopers: A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: February 14, 2014 at 7:00 am By Tim Suttle

For my money, the best children’s films tell two parallel stories: a straight forward story for the kids, and another more sarcastic and witty story for the adults – cultural references, double entendre, irony the kids don’t catch but we do. About the only way I can make it through a kid’s movie without falling asleep these days is if they throw enough jokes in for me. If they don’t, I’m out like a light… I paid 8 dollars to...

On the Importance of Silence

Last updated on: February 11, 2014 at 8:42 am By Tim Suttle

“For language to have meaning, there must be intervals of silence somewhere, to divide word from word and utterance from utterance. He who retires into silence does not necessarily hate language. Perhaps it is love and respect for language which imposes silence upon him. For the mercy of God is not heard in words unless it is heard, both before and after the words are spoken, in silence,” —Thomas Merton __________________________________________________________ Silence is simultaneously central to the human experience, and...
