R.I.P., Larry Norman

[UPDATED: I was in a lhurry to say something and didn't have much time. So I ended up being rather trite. This trubute is a bit less embarrassing.]
You can’t be a forty-something (ex-)Evangelical Christian and not have heard of Larry Norman, but if you haven’t, read this or this.
These articles give you some taste of [...]

Until the Twelfth of Never

From a Web site whose anonymity I am protecting:

A Mother’s Day

Just perfect. I’m not a mom, but I had one. So I know this is the real deal:

Look, Ma, No Hands?

Hey, any bloggers out there using voice-input software and a PC to blog and do their other computer work?

Penitential Bible Reading

When I first emtered RCIA, I was fascinated, amused and appalled at the anual Catholic cry, “It’s Lent.

NOT an Equal Employment Opportunity

A child with Down Syndrome was used as a suicide bomber. Apparently the explosives were detonated via remote control.
I don’t have words. Not a one. So I’ll borrow two.

“At that time people will say to the mountains, ‘Fall upon us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
