Today was Saturday (sabbath), my main “work” day, busy with events and usually filled with people, including invites to lunches…and my fledgling herbivore status was briefly challenged and compromised by half (!) a salmon cake that one of the church members had baked and whose hospitality I felt was more important at that moment than [...]

Yesterday my wife brought home a DVD from the rental. “Fork Over Knives” I had heard about this film, something to do with plant-based (or vegan) diet, stuff that in my brain was usually promoted by do-gooders, animal lovers, and food saints. In my life, both personal, but more often professionally—I’m a pastor—I had my [...]

I was asked to prepare a slide presentation of various countries and their flags, for a church parade of nations. Part of this preparation has been to jot down some information about the various countries, and I discovered a rather flabbergasting discrepancy.

But then again, why do we (white) Europeans like to throw our pale bodies onto the beach as soon as there is a [...]

Attorney General Eric Holder said it like it is: when it comes to race relations, the US is a nation of cowards. (for full text see link above; Att. Gen. Holder refers to then-Senator Obama’s speech on race in an interview after his speech.) What made me wonder as I read (and then watched) the [...]

This morning, in a newsletter from England, I learned of the death of a former teacher of mine, Dr Ronald Strasdowsky. Besides remembering him as a fine Christian gentleman, with a quiet and gentle demeanor that was at times severely tested by the vigor of high school students, he was instrumental in a decision I [...]
