Spirituality. Politics. Music. Life.
(I intended to post this sermon weeks ago, but life marches on and I never got around to it. This was preached in response to the bullying deaths of several LGBT teens in the weeks prior. You can hear it here. Significantly, at the conclusion of the sermon it got a standing ovation…which I take […]
Read MoreI want you to spend a few minutes and listen to some audio links below. The first is a story I heard tonight on KERA, driving home from the “Second Monday” series at Northaven. (And it led me to the second link when I got inside to my computer…) It was a “driveway moment” for […]

Last Saturday, I had the great honor of participating in the second MegaMarch here in Dallas, Texas. Twenty or so Northaveners(1a), and a few friends from the North Texas Conference, joined our voices with the 56,000-plus folks who gathered in downtown.(1) (Myself and old friend, Rev. Gerald Britt, just before the march began) (People in […]

Around 500,000 peaceful marchers, moving through downtown Dallas, waving American flags and chanting “USA, USA…” I know everyone associated with tomorrow’s march hopes and prays for a similar day.

In my good-natured […]
Read MoreBy now, almost everybody has heard Glenn Beck’s comments last week, on radio and television, concerning the term “social justice” and its use in Christian churches. If you haven’t, you can hear the audio here, and read a pretty good summary blog about it here. Despite what everybody who knows me might believe, I want […]
Read MoreNorman Suggs is a friend I met via the internet some years back. He’s only over in Stephenville, but the way the world works, it’s doubtful we’d ever have met without our mutual online geekiness. He’s had cancer this past year, and has been undergoing treatment. Today on Facebook, he posted the blog below, which […]
Read MoreEvery now and then, the good folks at Dallas Area Progressive Christian Alliance, see fit to reprint stuff I’ve written or preached. They’ve done that with last week’s sermon (Jan. 24th) and you can read it at their site here. Many thanks to all of DACPA, and especially to Kim Bachelor for taking my notes […]
