You Have Closed Me In Behind and Before

Last updated on: February 26, 2021 at 9:38 am By Anne Kennedy

I’ve used up all my blogging time reading this very long piece that I commend to you most heartily. Mike Duran takes apart that conspiracy theory chart that is being shared around, and comprehensively addresses the whole question of conspiracies in general and how Christians should think about them in particular. He concludes: Being interested in conspiracy theories is not the same as believing them. It is possible to be knowledgeable of conspiracy claims, but not obsessed. Open, but not... Read more

You Only Die Once

Last updated on: February 25, 2021 at 9:20 am By Anne Kennedy

I’ve been working on an article for the last month or so–You Only Die Once: Why It’s Okay Not to Live in the Present. It’s behind a paywall, which just shows you what a clever and fascinating piece it is. I hope you’ll subscribe and read it. But either way, listen to the podcast where I think of some things I wished I’d put in the article: And here is the wonderful meme I came across when I was reading... Read more

A Matter of Love and therefore Division

Last updated on: February 24, 2021 at 9:41 am By Anne Kennedy

There’s a lot out there this morning–trying to choose between an embarrassment of riches. I’ve got some goop stuff in the cue, and two or three things from RNS, and that thing about that book being taken off of amazon. Oh! And the NYTimes (which I might break my embargo and read, just this once) contradicting Fauci. But I don’t have a lot of time, and so I’m just going to go with the continuing Anglican troubles because that’s upwards... Read more

More Good Listening

Last updated on: February 23, 2021 at 8:38 am By Anne Kennedy

Don’t mean to be turning everything into links, but I didn’t have my act together yesterday. First of all, here is Matt’s interview with Hank Hanegraaff: And then, here is another long thing that I found to be very interesting about how we can avoid all turning into Ravi: Our own podcast cut off due to complete technical ineptitude (and the dog), and probably divine mercy, just when I was really getting into the swing of the thing. Just as... Read more

It is a very snowy, blustery day here in the Northeast. To celebrate we’ve done a longish podcast in which we say all the things we wanted to say about that RNS Kyle Howard piece that I didn’t link in my blog yesterday, but talked about as if I were going to link it, but then never did. I take umbrage and Matt enjoys himself. I hope you find it helpful, even the part where the dog climbs up on... Read more

There but for the Grace of God Go I

Last updated on: February 21, 2021 at 7:51 am By Anne Kennedy

I’m over at Stand Firm this morning. There is an interesting opinion piece making its way around the interwebs this weekend castigating many Christian leaders for their responses to the Ravi Horror, as I feel it will eventually come to be known. Many Christian leaders, apparently (I haven’t gone to look in any comprehensive way to see if this is so, and am not willing to fully trust the twitter-surfing capabilities of others who might also be looking for clicks),...

7 Women Are Not The Problem Takes

Well, it’s finally the end of a long, terrible week. Let’s see what we have. One Thank you so much for all the prayers and condolences for Nebert. I keep trying to think of something to say but haven’t really been able to. I talked about him a little bit with John and Kathy last night (4:40 mark). It is hard for me, like everyone, to understand why God would do this. But the people who really need prayer are... Read more

More Death for Lent

Last updated on: February 18, 2021 at 9:24 am By Anne Kennedy

I can’t really blog today. I posted this prayer request at the end of my thing yesterday: …if you have a moment to pray for a dear and beloved person in Kenya who is back in the hospital and not doing well, I would be so grateful. He is a young man with a wife and two children, and no one can figure out what is wrong, and that is partly because the hospital isn’t functioning as well as one... Read more

Lent Adjacent

Last updated on: February 17, 2021 at 10:30 am By Anne Kennedy

Jesus asking himself what I’m going to give up this year. Here we are again, then, back to my favorite time of year—Lent. It’s my favorite because I prefer its spare solemnity to Easter’s de trop color and elation. It must be just my personal taste that makes me inclined to repent of my sins rather than eating a lot of chocolate or something. It’s not that I’m more holy than you, it’s just that I have better aesthetic sensibilities.... Read more

Snowpocalypse and Links

Last updated on: February 16, 2021 at 8:33 am By Anne Kennedy

As the rest of the world copes with their various snowpocalypses, all I can say is, “Sorry!” I know how you feel. Snow is literally the worst. That being said, there is no such thing, apparently, as bad weather, only bad clothes. I have found this to be some sort of trueism. If you don’t build a wall around yourself to keep out the weather, you will always be deeply sad (unless you’re one of my children who likes to... Read more
