Soften My Heart Lord
The following poem was shared as my sermon at the Contemporary worship service of St. Thomas Episcopal Church (Coral Gables, FL), where I once served as Assistant Rector. It is based upon Mark 10:2-16.
Tom Cruise: A Lasting Marriage is More than Jumping On Couches
Today, the pop-culture world is abuzz with the announcement of the break up of Tom Cruise’s and Katie Holmes’ marriage. Much of the focus has been on the role played by Scientology and its “creepy,” “weird” nature (as described by Rupert Murdoch). However as much as it might comfort us to blame the strange nature […]
Because the Broad Ain’t Have No Books…
Ok, yea…the title kinda hits right in the mouth. But, it had to be said! And, I don’t make a habit of calling a woman “out her name,” but feel me on this! I beg your indulgence… It’s happened on a few occasions, and it’s always quite frustrating. You find a sister who piques your […]

Blog Cry…
I can’t see ’em coming down my eye, so I gotta make this blog cry… (Thanks Jigga) This relationships blog has been a long time coming and long overdue. Years ago (2002/2003), I used to write a column for a now-defunct St. Louis news-magazine called The Flipside. It was going well until their “marketing genius” decided they […]
