Helping Each Other Grieve Creatively

Everyone is in need of consolation. Everyone drags behind them the silent and invisible bags of past failures, loved ones lost, and the deep secrets of insecurity, fear, and anxiety.

Owed to Arlo Guthrie

It started out just like any other man-date. I won two tickets to see Arlo Guthrie in Lexington, Kentucky, and my wife was unable to go with me, so I invited my good friend Daniel Bailey. We met up at Mellow Mushroom, enjoyed a pre-concert dinner that couldn’t be beat, and talked about Jesus and his mandate—you know, to care for the poor, the neglected, the “least of these.” Then, we made our way on over to the performance hall to be serenaded by the legendary folkie… Read More
