Lord, many people have spoken to me about you. I want to know you. I have many things in my life preventing me from seeing you, and many things not in keeping with your teachings separating me from you. They are obstacles on my way to you. I have chosen a lukewarm faith: a Christianity […]

I own a peculiar baseball cap that I wear all the time. It’s a black hat, simple in appearance, save for the goofy-looking pinkish blob prominently featured above the rim. The blob is smiling, tongue out, with its big googly eyes wide and staring and happy. The blob has a name; it’s Morph. And Morph […]

I don’t remember much about the movie Office Space except the iconic scene in which three employees take out their frustrations on the office printer.
