(photo cred) Scroll through your social media rolodexes and I guarantee you will find a friend thankful that the grand jury got it right. Celebrating the defense of justice so good guys can sleep soundly under the blanket of freedom without fear of criminals. Peek through the shades of an African American household on Thanksgiving, […]

Why Now is the Best Time to Be a Reverse Racist
America may well turn upside down in the wake of the announcement that Officer Wilson will not be indicted by a grand jury for the death of Michael Brown. And a lot of people feel powerless. It’s time for a radical choice, one in which you can make a difference. It isn’t found on a […]
Are We Really Going to Be Raptured?
You need to go ahead and watch Left Behind with Nicholas Cage when it comes out on RedBox. Please. Do it for you. I insist. Call up the neighborhood kids to stuff crackers in the baby, pre-order a copy from your iPhone, and head over to a friend’s for a double-date to see this godly […]
When God Doesn’t Heal You, But Smacks You in the Face, Instead

This weekend, President Obama made some startling statements about stay-at-home moms. And frankly, I’m pissed. Full disclosure here of why: I’m not a mom. I don’t stay at home. I have NO idea what I’m talking about. I mean, really, all I have in this is I’ve found after six long years that the president and I […]
How Bullying Can Save Your Marriage
Nobody likes a bully. Not in a casual fling. Not in a friendship. Not in a budding romantic relationship. Not in an illicit I-don’t-know-what-that-was-but-I-hope-it-never-happens-again-ship. And certainly not in a marriage. Unfortunately, bullying tactics are just so darn effective. Psychologically, they work at manipulating another person to push him or her down and get one’s own way.
