Find out just where that is … Oh my.I haven’t been so taken with a new album as I am with Joan Osborne’s new “Little Wild One,” in longer than I can remember. It is, in a word, grace.

GODSTUFF YOU CAN SUE GOD, BUT YOU CAN’T WIN Last week, a judge in Nebraska threw out a 2007 lawsuit filed against God by state Sen. Ernie Chambers, who had sought a permanent injunction against the Almighty for bringing “acts of terrorism” against the Cornhusker State. Chambers’ suit, which he claims he filed to protest the filing of other “frivolous” lawsuits, asked that an order be issued demanding God cease and desist from causing “fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes,...

Please pray for Toot! Barack Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, (that’s her on the right with B and his grandfather Stanley Dunham) is not doing so well, so please remember her to her Creator in prayer. News reports late today said that Senator Obama has canceled campaign events Thursday and Friday to fly to Oahu, Hawaii (where he was raised for much of his childhood by the Dunhams, his mother’s parents) in order to visit the woman he calls “Toot”...

GODSTUFF MY AURA’S BIGGER THAN YOUR AURA: FAT AND HAPPY Most women never want to hear that something they possess is “huge.” Their tush, for instance, or thighs, upper arms, ankles or credit card bill. So, I wasn’t quite sure how to react when the spa technician looked at a photograph of my aura he’d just taken and exclaimed, “It’s huge! I’ve never seen one so big. I couldn’t even fit it all in the frame.” Awesome, I thought. Even... Read more

GODSTUFF BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE: CREATING CULTURAL ARTIFACTS Not quite 200 years ago, the English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley said something that is perhaps more true today than when he first put it down on paper: “Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.” In his 1819 essay, “In Defense of Poetry,” Shelley elaborated on this notion, saying, “Poets, or those who imagine and express this indestructible order, are not only the authors of language and...

GODSTUFF OUR TRASH, OUR TREASURE: MAKE EVERY MONDAY MATTER The salad days these surely are not.

In the words of that great post-modern sage and seer, Jeffrey “the Dude” Lebowski: “It’s... Read more
