It’s Not Just a ‘Heart Problem’

Last updated on: June 13, 2016 at 1:07 pm By John O'Keefe

Call it whatever you desire, a terrorist act, a hate crime – whatever. Just don’t allow what you call it remove you from finding a solution. Because in my mind it doesn’t matter what you call it, taking the life of another because you don’t like who they are, is simply twisted. Read more

Choosing the Lesser of Two Evils

Last updated on: June 6, 2016 at 4:55 pm By John O'Keefe

Every time I hear the phrase “picking the lesser of two evils” I’m reminded of what my Grand Mother use to say, “It is better to dance with the Devil you know.” Read more

We Are Connected

Last updated on: June 2, 2016 at 10:00 am By John O'Keefe

I'm a firm believer that life is too short to not understand how we're all connected. For some reason, we want to bank on the idea of ‘the next life’ for some justice, some peace, some love. But by doing so, we never truly understand that there is not a ‘next life’ Read more

Burning Down The House

Last updated on: May 19, 2016 at 5:06 pm By John O'Keefe

Too many Christians are taking to heart the words of the Talking Heads, they're Burning Down the House. Over the past few years I have been reading study, after study, after study. Most simply share the WHO; this group is leaving the church. But none have gone deep enough into the WHY. Read more

I’ve Been Called Worse

Last updated on: May 11, 2016 at 12:54 pm By John O'Keefe

Whenever I speak, or write, about how we need to feed the hungry, care for the poor, and house the homeless, health issues, or educational issues, I’m tagged a Socialist. Granted, it doesn’t offend me; if it makes others comfortable calling me a Socialist, so be it. Personally, I call myself a Follower of the Teachings of Jesus, but whatever works.
