  Watched a fas­ci­nat­ing His­tory Chan­nel pro­gram last night on the Kennedy assas­si­na­tion and the flurry of con­spir­a­cies that have per­sisted about it. I found this inter­est­ing, because I did get a lit­tle caught up in the study of the incon­sis­ten­cies — cour­tesy of a silly lit­tle do-it-yourself JFK con­spir­acy “kit” I came across in the […]

  It’s beginning to look a lot like …

  November 15th, 2011 | Culture gone mad, Orthodox perspective, Slider | Grace | 24922 Commentshttp%3A%2F%2Fthis-side-of-glory.com%2Fslider-2%2Fits-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like%2FIt%27s+beginning+to+look+a+lot+like+...2011-11-15+21%3A49%3A51Gracehttp%3A%2F%2Fthis-side-of-glory.com%2F%3Fp%3D2492

  The Advent sea­son begins today, and not a moment too soon, eh? I had com­plained in past years about what the buy­ing mar­ket does to Christ­mas — I think every Chris­t­ian does. In my life­time, I’ve seen the itchy sales pitches go from being back­ground noise that started after Thanks­giv­ing to being a truly obnoxious […]

  ‘Why trouble the Teacher any further?’

  November 2nd, 2011 | Orthodox perspective, Slider | Grace | 24811 Commenthttp%3A%2F%2Fthis-side-of-glory.com%2Fslider-2%2Fwhy-trouble-the-teacher-any-further%2F%27Why+trouble+the+Teacher+any+further%3F%272011-11-02+18%3A29%3A48Gracehttp%3A%2F%2Fthis-side-of-glory.com%2F%3Fp%3D2481

  One ques­tion from last week’s Bible study stayed with me. It con­cerns this pas­sage of the episode of the rais­ing of Jairus’ daugh­ter: While He was still speak­ing, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daugh­ter is dead. Why trou­ble the Teacher any fur­ther?” (Mark 5:35) And the ques­tion was ‘How […]

  White noise and The Void

  Brief, bit­ter com­plaint: Why do peo­ple feel like they have to have a TV set blar­ing away while they work out? Our com­plex has a lit­tle fit­ness room, and I’ve had to real­ize that I’m the weirdo for valu­ing silence as I move my mus­cles and bones about. Every­one else wants to hear a tele­vi­sion set […]

  Here’s the essay I did for Melinda’s series of Ortho­dox artists and writ­ers, My mother tells me that one of the real ben­e­fits that I offered to a weary par­ent (I was the last of four chil­dren) was that if you put me in a room with a pen­cil and paper, I could amuse myself […]

  I’ve been writ­ing an essay for Melinda for a while — she was kind enough to ask me to con­tribute to her series about Ortho­dox writ­ers, artists and com­posers — and I had a left­over thought about cul­ture that didn’t seem to fit any­where. And what else is a blog for if not to be […]
