DEAR DIARY
I started a diary on the internet once. I forgot where I put it for the longest time. I still don’t know where it is.

A Leper and a Wolf
It’s wonderful news, brothers and sisters, that we come to God not by our perfection but by our imperfection. Because that gives all of us the only chance we’ll ever have. And it allows us to walk, instead of a sometimes-journey of repression or denial, a journey into truth, into ever-deeper sympathy with what’s going on inside of us.
Deep within each of us live a leper and a wolf. Those are...

Untitled #1
There is a heart that grows in each of us. It beats in the chest. Pushed forth and pulled back by an ocean of blood. We are the heart. We beat. We are an ocean pushing forward, pulling backward.

“This is a story where all the pictures are going to look the same in the days ahead and we’re all going to get bored with it because we always do.” Shepard Smith (on the Haiti coverage) I remember not long ago all of us making our profile pictures green in solidarity with those standing up to a corrupt government in Iran. I remember driving through New Orleans almost two years...

Contradictions
We must be willing to admit to the contradictions inside of us, and still let God love us in that partial state. Once we agree to see our own shadow side, our own foolishness, and our own sin and still know that God has not abandoned us, we become a living paradox that reveals the goodness of God.

pale blue dot
Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of...
