The Conspirator (Robert Redford, 2010)
BY:
R. Greg Grooms |
|
The belief that there is one set of rules that apply equally to all our citizens, regardless of race, sex, or social standing, has never been as true in practice as we like to pretend it is.

When Musicians Raise Questions About Faith (IV)
BY:
Justin Sembler |
|
Enter Monsters of Folk. Their music doesn’t just grab your attention—it demands that you pay close attention. The music matches the message as well as any band I have ever listened to.

The Imperfectionists (Tom Rachman, 2010)
BY:
Denis Haack |
|
Arthur’s cubicle used to be near the watercooler, but the bosses tired of having to chat with him each time they got thirsty. So the watercooler stayed and he was moved. Now his desk is in a distant corner, as far from the locus of power as possible but nearer the cupboard of pens, which is a consolation.

The Cross and the Wide World
BY:
Preston Jones |
|
“If we prove ourselves good citizens of His here [on earth],” Polycarp wrote to the Philippians in the second century, “we shall reign with him hereafter, if we have faith.” Faith and works together.

Tonight we ate soup, home-made bread, and a salad in the living room in order to enjoy the Christmas tree. And because the dining room table has been recruited as workspace for various creative projects that will result in hand crafted gifts for friends. Simple pleasures, simply enjoyed, with deep gratefulness and the realization that grace alone makes it possible. In Ransom we believe that it is in the ordinary things of life that true significance rests, because it is here that we are called to live out our lives before the face of God. If exploring this understanding of reality is of interest to you, we hope you will find the material on this website to be helpful.
Denis & Margie Haack
