Good Grief
“The day will come when the memory of the loved one you lost will bring a smile to your lips before a tear to your eye. It will come. I promise you. My prayer for you though is that day will come sooner rather than later. And that’s when you know you’re going to be...
In Search of Moral Backbone

Black History Month
If it’s February it must be Black History Month. But why… and so what? Why is February designated as Black History Month? Moreover, why do we have a Black History Month at all? And finally, what might we do this month to make black history a meaningful part of our...
Climate Day at the White House

Seeking Holy Unity of the Spirit

High Noon on the Western Front
Today at high noon (EST) on the western front of the Capitol building a battered and beleaguered democracy that has survived a near death experience will have its day. Today at high noon on the western front of the Capitol building with the after shocks from the...
America needs an EPIPHANY
At Pittsboro Presbyterian Church one of the highlights of weekly worship is what we refer to as “glimpses of God.” The Pastor invites congregants to share any experience they may have had during the prior week in which they have perceived God at work in their lives....
TRUTH or Consequences!
Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. ~John Keats “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” ~ John 8:32 If truth is synonymous with beauty as the poet asserts, then falsehood is akin to ugliness. If...
As Time Goes By
"I know what time is until you ask me for a definition about it, and then I can't give it to you." ~ Saint Augustine “What time is it?” That’s a question I ask myself often in the span of a day. "What is time?” That’s a question that seldom, if ever, gets asked and...

COP 28 and the UAE Consensus: What to make of it all
“The atmosphere responds to one thing: Emissions. It’s physics, stupid… And all the declarations, all the decisions, all the platitudes, all the announcements in the world, if it doesn’t translate into real world action that reduces emissions, is not worth the paper...
