I’ve never been one for making a big deal about the New Year. I mean, really there’s nothing actually that different from December 31st to January 1st, right? The earth is still orbiting the sun at the same rate and we just choose to mark a full revolution that day or something, right? Maybe that’s […]
Last year I posted this on the blog a little more than a week before Christmas. It included this reading from my prayer book: Let us thank God a thousand times if in the sadness which invades us it seems to us as if we are rejected by the world. The depression and suffering, the […]
So a few months back I received a copy of Tomlin’s new album, And If Our God Is For Us to review here on the blog. I had intended to post it the week before Thanksgiving, just after the album came out, and then life got crazy. So I’m a little late on this one, […]
One more artist to share with you before this evening. A few weeks ago, on World AIDS Day, Rachel and Dan and I went downtown for a candlelight vigil followed by a reception at Santa Cruz AIDS Project. We got to meet a lot of really great people, including Darryl who is the event coordinator […]

As part of Art for AIDS this coming Saturday night we asked some of our friends who are artists to display some stuff and sell it with a portion of the proceeds going to Santa Cruz AIDS Project. There will be a couple pieces up and all of them will be for sale via silent […]
Only 4 days till Art For AIDS! If you haven’t gotten a ticket yet, grab it now. More info at www.createhumanity.org. Thought I’d throw up a series of posts about some of the talent contributing to Art For AIDS this weekend. A good friend of mine who is part of Missio Dei Community is Dan […]
Rachel and I have been home without the kids for 4 days now. Â And we have a week and a half left. I’d be lying if I said I’m not enjoying the freedom at times. Last night we went to the AIDS vigil together, and just decided to grab dinner after. Â Then we could grab […]
