My “Home”
It turns out that I misunderstood what my conservative Christian friend meant when he said that, sometimes, a person needs to find a home before he finds a church (see my last post). I’ll still keep my last post up … Continue reading
Family?
For me, it’s still Tuesday night. I’m not sure if I’ll be in upstate New York on Friday in time to post on my blog, and so I’ll be writing Friday’s post on Tuesday—which, for me, is tonight. Again, I … Continue reading

I just got back from Latin mass. This will be my last one for some time, since I’ll be moving to New York this week. I’m not sure if there’s a Latin mass close to where I will live. I’m … Continue reading
Update and the Disciple Jesus Loved
I’m reading The Bible As Human Witness to Divine Revelation, which is edited by Randall Heskett and Brian Irwin. I won’t be blogging through every single essay in it, for I’ve already read at least half of the essays, without … Continue reading
Psalm 4, Anger, and Joy
For my weekly quiet time this Sabbath, I studied Psalm 4. What I like about this Psalm is that the Psalmist urges his enemies to desist from sin, to offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and to trust in the LORD. … Continue reading

I know several Christians who say that we should go to church and fellowship with other believers so that we can learn to accept others unconditionally, even when they annoy us. What if I don’t want to be around dogmatic, … Continue reading
