Have you been following the Obama religious language brouhaha? And if so, has it affected how you hear your own pastor? This struck me last night. I was listening to a lecture on Matthew chapter 26, and the speaker was […]

My jobhunting plan for yesterday was to fax my application for the English teaching position, sign up with the university temp agency, and put my name on the substitute teacher list. I did sign up with the university temp agency, writing […]

I am singing the solo in “Down to the River to Pray” again. I think I have to point out — just in fairness to myself — that I didn’t clamor for this solo. The director said, “Didn’t you sing this […]
