Like Moths to Light
We Christians talk about seeking light, as moths seek light in the darkness. The truth is, we talk more about darkness; we seek it and cling to it while offering rationalizations for doing so.

A Prayer for Fred Phelps
“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.” Matthew 7:1 I have only sadness and pity in my heart for Fred Phelps and the church he started. If the name sounds familiar, but you cannot place it, Fred Phelps is the man who beget the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC). The church that makes […]
