Pretty self-explanatory; these are the issues that deal with modern and popular culture that have nothing to really do with religion or the church
This book that you see above you, is a book that is causing much controversy. I was only made aware of it today as I watched “The View” this morning. The issue was concerning a recent banning of the book in the commonwealth state of Virginia. Well, this of course begs the question, what was […]
Read more "It Takes Three to ‘Tango’ this time"this is another repost from my Facebook notes. just wanted to share this one with the broader community. keep it uppity, JLL SPOILERS AHEAD!!! (although by now, I’m sure the die-hard HP fans have finished the book as of the publishing of this note.) At risk of offending some fundamental Christians, I will press […]
Read more "A Harry Potter Hermeneutic!"Good Times Any time you meet a payment. Good Times. Any time you need a friend. Good Times. Any time you’re out from under. Not getting hastled, not getting hustled. Keepin’ your head above water, Making a wave when you can. Temporary lay offs. Good Times. Easy credit rip offs. Good Times. Scratchin’ and surviving. […]
Read more "Good Times Are Here To Stay–Happy Black History Month Y’all!"Don’t get me wrong, I like Sen. Barack Obama, and we all know that I endorse his candidacy, but Dr. Leslie Callahan did mention that her issue is that there is no woman of color who is poised in the political arena to move through the ranks of our representative government. That being said, I […]
Read more "Toni Morrison’s endorsing Barack Obama"One of the things that I noticed this year was that people really do dumb stuff. Now, this does not make me the arbiter of what is smart and what is dumb, but I do believe that I have a pretty good handle on what is. I say so because, in the spirit of good […]
Read more "FOOL FEST 2007 NOMINATIONS"I know that this is a weird and quite unusual statement, especially from a self-professed Christian. However, we always hear the statement, that Jesus is the reason for the season, and although I’m mostly in aggreance with that statement, I’d like to take that particular philosophy to task for a moment. Let’s go to work. Many […]
Read more "Jesus Isn’t the Reason for the Season"I remember I didn’t get my first cell phone until 2004, entering my junior year of college. I also have a good memory of sitting at the top of the stadium seats at a packed basketball game at Dillard and sitting next to my friend when my phone buzzed on my hip. I pulled it […]
Read more "Text message break ups"I’ll never understand the “religious right” here in the United States. Understandably, Christianity is the predominant religion here in this country, but I fail to see how the “religious right” in fact has the right to act as the final arbiter on all things religious. The fact that conservative Christians, and even Roman Catholics to some […]
Read more "Christian groups slam new Kidman children’s movie"I’ve yet to have weighed in on this issue and since I was scrolling my usual haunts online, I decided to provide this story. This particular story does include my viewpoint of how I feel on the issue of sagging pants, but I can speak from my own 23-year-old self. If I feel the need […]
Read more "Saggy Pants bans may not be lawful"Is she really that happy from making cereal? Or have we really been that bamboozled–allowing the energetic African American lady holler like that from the truck with the hair net and glasses… “You’re unnecessarily perky…and you remind me of my French teacher from grammar school…and I didn’t like my French teacher when I was a […]
