Why Trump is the Wrong Choice Even if You Oppose Abortion

“I know, as a Christian, I have to vote for Trump, but I just really don’t want to.”

So said a good friend of mine in hushed tones at a church gathering before the 2016 election. This woman is near…

WINNERS AND LOSERS

So, now that it seems very probable (if not certain) that our Fascist in Chief has been deposed and our Presidential election is (mostly) over, let’s take a look at the winners and losers here. WARNING: as you may have guessed from that first line, I am celebrating the political victory of…

I Need Some Advice

A friend of mine owns a business. A few years back he hired a guy to be the CEO. The guy had an impressive resume (though now that we’ve done some digging, it appears to have been inflated) and even though my friend didn’t really get along with the new CEO that well, he needed to shake up his…

Your Gaslighting is Gaslighting

PEACE

Peace to you and to your house.

This is not a prayer or wish or even a blessing meant to suggest that you will be without conflict. Conflict is the enemy of comfort, but poses no threat to peace.

Be Decent

Judge Amy Coney Barrett (or whoever Trump nominates) is not a political symbol. She is a mother, daughter, wife and, you know….a person. I offer this little reminder as a sort of context for the next month or so and the debate that is inevitable.

Splitting the Spiritual Atom

So, what happens when the election is over? When we have an available and accessible vaccine for Covid-19? When the current protests lead to lasting reform or die out for loss of momentum? What happens when we get to go back to our offices and schools, our concerts and our…
