This was my first Lucas Hnath play at Actors Theater in Louisville, KY. I enjoyed his unique writing that left me leaving the auditorium with more questions than answers about belief and faith. The best part is that Lucas did not show his cards and did not force his opinion among the masses. He did the […]
College newspapers are not totally worthless. They are where young journalists go to learn… and espouse hatred. This was an opinion piece from a well-known “Christian” college… ____ Rethink yoga March 13, 2014 Deborah Raiees-Dana We are cultural beings. We learn what is acceptable from those around us, and that becomes our unconscious reality. When […]
Announcement For A Book Called “What We’re For” I have been quiet here on the blog since October of last year, so I needed to post something to start the new year. Well, I got the awesome call from Eric Carpenter that he was looking for authors to contribute to his book new book project. […]
Most professing Christians believe that being “born again” occurs in this life upon “receiving Jesus.” Well to me I think that teaching I heard for years, getting pounded into my cranium, is hogwash.

I am not back blogging at the pace I was before, but I wanted to weigh in on what I know (which is not much) about this whole marriage thing. There are two sides to this marriage debate, one is for gay people to marry and the other is for marriage to stay defined between […]
Just when I thought the political season was over when Obama won that first Tuesday of November, the yard signs are back out to promote the next political event happening on December 24th … yes it is the Christmas Eve service. This is one of the main days a church marketing department drools, and comes […]
