An Open Letter to the Readers of TPE
Juggling Options
As I was pondering my future the other day, it dawned on me that when I graduated college I had decided on six possible options for future career/graduate school plans, and I’ve attempted all of them but two now. Whenever I have changed my path, like for instance quitting the M. Div. program, I have gotten very frustrated because it’s seems like I’m always considering the same options. It has felt... read moreLiving Out Love
Knowing the answers and living the answers have proven to be very different. How we feel and how we act are often not only different but, at times, even antithetical. What i know about God and how i should treat people is easy. I have all the right answers. I could write a book or get a PhD on what I know about the right answers.

I know that all “good” Christians attend church, but maybe this is part of the problem. As I grew up in the Church, I knew that there was this expectation to attend, be involved, contribute, and be a part of the overall health of the organization.

Zach Braff has been considered a quadruple-threat of film and television. You probably know him best as Dr. John J.D. Dorian on TV’s Scrubs or maybe as Andrew Largeman in the 2004 film Garden State. On top of being an actor, he’s a writer and director (Garden State) but also a soundtrack producer. How threatening is this quadruple-threat? Not very. I compare Zach Braff to Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg... read moreLinks!
