“THE LOVE OF GOD IS ABSOLUTE”: DR. GRAHAM IN NEWSWEEK“Those are decisions only the Lord will make. It would be foolish for me to speculate on who will be there and who won’t. … I don’t want to speculate about all that. I believe the love of God is absolute. He said he gave his son for the whole world, and I think he loves everybody regardless of what label they have.” — The Rev. Billy Graham, in an interview... Read more

I do, I swear. I’m not one of those religious people who thinks creation is ours to dominate and its resources ours to spend like found money because Jesus is coming back and the world is going to end soon... Read more

ONE HUNDRED DEGREES ON MOVING DAY: WHY DOES JESUS PLAY ME LIKE THAT?Dear readers, We moved house for the first time in a decade last weekend. Last weekend, the hottest weekend in, oh, a decade.

GODSTUFF: EVIL GENIUS? JESUS’ S GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDAUTHOR WRITES A NOVEL(ISH) After three full years of Dan Brown overload, a few months back I swore I’d never again voluntarily type the words MARY MAGDALENE. Not even if Jesus (aka Mr. Magdalene) appeared to me himself and begged me to give the old gal another chance. But this was just too good for my inner cynic to resist. The Expected One, which is billed as fiction (more or less), is sure to be... Read more

What would happen if everything suddenly changed, because of illness, infirmity, or, perhaps, because a bit of wisdom floats your way and knocks your perception of reality on its tuckus?
