Speaking of Lecrae…

So as I’m enjoying a few Z-free minutes (thanks Babe!), I logged on to Facebook and noticed a storm a-brewing over a bunch of status updates by Lecrae, who was included in a post on Gospel Hip Hop artists I put up earlier. Looks like he decided to step into the Same Sex Marriage debate:…

… and on the other end of the Hip Hop spectrum…

Lecrae (Twitter)     … we have rappers such as Lecrae and Sho Baraka, who are bringing faith and inspiration to the masses, as opposed to more tired lyrics about money, drugs, alcohol and even rape. From CoCo Brothers:   2012 was the year of Gospel hip-hop. Billboard and iTunes charts put Gospel hip-hop next…

The Bell is ringing.

Human Rights Campaign     Today is a big day for Same Sex Marriage– proponents and opponents. The Supreme Court started mulling over Prop 8 this morning, and DOMA will be considered tomorrow.   This is all pretty timely for me personally, since in the last few days, I’ve probably discussed it more than I…

Harassed!

(Source)     “I am FILLED with Christ’s LOVE!” So says Hilary Faye (Mandy Moore) in the 2004 spoof on uptight Born Again Christians, “Saved!” She says this while hurling a Bible at the back of knocked-up classmate Mary, who responds by picking up the book and saying, “This is not a weapon.”    …

Inorganic life.

  There are sunflowers in a glass vase on the piano in the living room, and hot pink carnations on my desk in the bedroom. I have some white with purple carnations decorating the dining room table.   I’ve been cooking, chopping, peeling and baking like crazy the past few weeks.   Oh, and reading.…

People (and episodes) stack so well.

    Joe has a way of harassing me into watching shows I wouldn’t normally view. Sometimes because I’m too busy. Other times, I just don’t feel like investing time and energy into a show that may crash and burn (see “Heroes”, “Last Resort“, “Law & Order:LA“, or whatever the heck is currently happening with…

The snack trap.

    Last week in my first Lenten update, I mentioned having a bit of a struggle going without sugar and sweets. After reading this revealing New York Times Magazine cover story by Michael Moss, there’s no wonder why. Turns out, there is real science behind the saying, “Once you pop, you can’t stop.” And…

DJesus Uncrossed

    While I did see “DJango Unchained,” I totally missed Saturday Night Live’s spoof, so I found this post by David R. Henson pretty interesting:   No doubt, a lot of people are upset, or are going to be upset, about Saturday Night Live’s recent skit “DJesus Uncrossed.” The two-minute sketch lampooned director Quentin…

    I walked in to the Ink Spot in a hurry, welcomed by the electric ding of an unseen sensor.   Brian, the tattoo artist who would be inking me was standing in the lobby with a woman. He looked up at the ding.   “I’m so sorry I’m late,” I said embarassed.  …
