    What Will Become of Us All? – A Poem

    December 21, 2022

    White picket lines of peaceful persuasionCannot undo the cost of invasionEndless fine lines of baser perversionsWeakened strains of moral conversionsFlawlessly wielding falsified searchesWhat will become of us all?Cold, calculating meaningless data Hiding underneath the smiling strata Clinging to less fortunate ideas Laughing, dragging, while dreaming of sionsIntricate veins coursing with cursesWhat will become of us all?Meanwhile, one white robed throng preaches the WritTenaciously keeping holy flames litFalling valiant, bleeding from vicious slits Ten thousand swords critically slashing hitsBattered, beleaguered saints climb past ashen fritz What will become of us all?One bright light pierces the eastern skyA triumphant shout falls from…

    The Inversion – A Poem

    December 18, 2022

    God is nothing, they say Just imaginary games Yet morality, they claim Forgetting their context Ignoring histories flame Hanging by thin threads To ever-waning grace Blind to the inversion Holding conversions Creating diversions They know not their place Goodness without God Like moths to acrid flame Digging for diamond truths Yet never making gains Ignoring perversions Reality gone Almost without a trace Lost in oblivion No equilibrium Willful delirium From grace to disgrace Philosophy flipped aside Lost on the rising tide Grasping for hope inside But hope is not within It rides like winter wind From Heaven above Sometimes fire,…

    Mass Killings and the Question of Evil

    March 27, 2021

    Two mass shootings have rocked the nation in the past month alone. One of them occurred right here in the Atlanta area that I love and call home. This isn’t a news story, it’s not my intention to give details or sensationalize the killings. Understandably, America always waits with bated breath for any details that might clarify the reasons behind a shooter’s sickening actions. Sadly, knowing a killer’s motivations (regardless of what they are) will be of no solace to those who have lost a loved one to senseless killing. Justifiably, the watching world craves some level of understanding going…

    Kanye West Might Be Sincere (But Sincerity Alone Is Not Salvation)

    November 25, 2019

    If you’re a social media user it might feel like a non-stop Kanye West extravaganza has taken over your feed lately. The frenzy from all directions has been palpable. Many people in my inner circle didn’t even know who Kanye was until a few weeks ago. For me, his name was associated with lyrics and artists that I purposely avoided because of the vulgarity, sexuality, violence, and substance abuse they promoted. This article is late in the making. Frankly, I just didn’t care about the Kanye kerfuffle until the noise escalated into a fever pitch. Beyond that, lots of people…

    Whataboutism (Why It’s Wrong)

    August 19, 2017

    Whataboutism is an old word gaining fresh attention primarily because of the obnoxious world of politics. Don’t worry; this isn’t a political post. Whataboutism is a debate technique that deflects criticism by pointing out the wrongdoings (whether real or perceived) of others. Oxford Dictionaries defines it as “the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different issue.” Essentially, whataboutism uses misdirection in the form of a rhetorical question. My kids use whataboutism all the time. Recently, while scolding my daughter because her room was a disaster, she responded by…

    Pray For Orlando (What The Christian Community And The Gay Community Have In Common)

    June 13, 2016

    Christians and gays have a very troubling thing in common: both groups are hated and singled out by radical Islam for extermination.

    The Death of Harambe (How Moral Relativism Has Made It Controversial)

    June 7, 2016

    If human beings are just an accidental causation of a chemical reaction with no soul it’s only logical to wonder if we are really valuable at all? Why does any life have value for that matter?
