One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1. She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life. A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments.
The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others.

Re: the Ingraham segment:
For the record, not even religious songs makes Dylan’s voice palatable to me.
“the kinds of things [i.e., social justice ministries] that have been inspired uniquely by the Christian faith … or certain, close variants … of it.” Yeah, right. I hear Wilson loud and clear.
Wilson comes close to giving the impression that he really isn’t interested in trying to make a case. Hitchens is a patient man. Wilson is polite and so says very little.
Ingraham seems very poorly prepared. What’s the downside of Pascal’s wager? Good grief – does her practice of the faith cost her nothing? The idea must be that if a non-believer takes the wager, God will show up.
It would be refreshing if, when Ingraham’s says Chris Matthews (is it?) has “spoken like a true Catholic,” she was referencing the line by Janeane Garofalo’s character in Smith’s Dogma … but that seems impossible.
Hitchens is great: I’d never heard the suggestion that Christianity is immoral. Quite an original though that.
