Gale-force Grace: Elizabeth Edwards This woman absolutely astounds me. Bless, you sister. You’re in our prayers. “Our family has been through a lot. Some caused by nature, some caused by human weakness, and some most recently caused by the desire for sensationalism and profit without any regard for the human consequences. None of these has been easy. But we have stood with one another through them all. Although John believes he should stand alone and take the consequences of his... Read more

GODSTUFF “SAVING GRACE”: EMBRACING THE SACRED MESSINESS OF LIFE Grace is, by my definition, something unexpected. So it should have been no great surprise to me to discover a great blessing of grace in, of all places, a television program. In its second season, the TNT series “Saving Grace” is the best thing on television and one of the most articulate treatments of spiritual material I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in years. The series follows Oklahoma City police detective... Read more

GODSTUFF I HAVE FAITH THAT OBAMA HAS FAITH Who is a Christian? It seems like a simple question, but when I typed my inquiry into Google earlier this week, the answer came back in 20 million hits, each of them a little different from the other. I’ve always understood a Christian to be someone who believes Jesus was who he said he was and tries to live the way Jesus said to live. Period. But there are many people who... Read more

Sleepless … It’s the middle of the night and I can’t sleep. Not for any particular reason. Nothing’s bothering me (at least not consciously), nor is there anything clearly on my mind. I’m just restless. Or just, really, awake. So I’m doing a little work on the computer and am listening to a new compilation album called “Songs for Tibet – The Art of Peace” (it’s totally lovely, you should buy it), and a song by one of my longtime...

August’s Spiritual Bounty: First Fruits
Last updated on: August 1, 2008 at 5:00 am By Cathleen Falsani
At last . . . August. Summer’s languid afternoon. The loveliest, laziest days of the year. For most of my life, August has meant vacation. As a child, my parents would pack my brother and me into the station wagon, head to the ferry dock on the Connecticut side of the Long Island Sound, and we’d float — family truckster and all — across the water to the Hamptons, where my mother’s best friend lived. August meant long days in... Read more

God bless him. Kennedy appears in Senate, helps break Republican filibuster WASHINGTON (CNN) — Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy on Wednesday made his first appearance in Congress since being diagnosed with brain cancer nearly two months ago, casting a single vote to help break a Republican filibuster of an important Medicare bill. Colleagues greeted Kennedy with a lengthy standing ovation on the Senate floor just after 4:15 p.m. The bill would reverse a 10.6 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors.... Read more

A beautiful review. My deepest thanks to Rick Webster at the blog Today at the Mission. Here’s what Rick had to say about SIN BOLDLY: Sin Boldly – A Field Guide For Grace There is no right way. There is no best. There is no perfect. It’s not a competition. Not when it comes to faith. Not when we’re talking about our relationship with the divine. In the end, it’s about grace; it’s about something you don’t do. It just... Read more
