If there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood · Who you gon' call? (Ghostbusters!) If there's somethin' weird, and it don't look good. Who you gon' call? (Ghostbusters!). Well Halloween’s over and the vampires, skeletons and ghosts have put their costumes away for another year. But we continue to live in frightful times. A lot of scary stuff is out and about – a lot worse than a fantastical 200-foot-tall Pillsbury Dough Boy phantom roaming the neighborhood....

It has oft been said that there are no atheists in foxholes. When shells are bursting all around, the air is rife with prayer every bit as with smoke. Deafening explosions and smell of cordite bring forth from the human breast desperate sighs and moans of petition to the Almighty. I still remember, safe as it was, our live-fire drill in the Army....

In 1985 the noted Columbian novelist, Gabriel García Márquez wrote Love in the Time of Cholera. The story is set in an un-named, steamy South American country at the time beset by multiple outbreaks of cholera.[1] The main characters are caught up in tempestuous love affairs. To say their lives are messy is an understatement. Like cholera which slowly drains the body, these relationships drain the psyche....

Looking at our president’s business history, I remember telling my wife that we could be a lot richer if I followed his example. First, stiff all the workers and if they complained, threaten them with massive lawsuits. Secondly, strip all the assets from our company and pocket the money. Third, declare bankruptcy to get out of all our financial obligations. Lastly, walk away, laughing all the way to the bank....

On some days when I would arrive at the Long Beach office of our family construction company, which I helped my dad run, I would find him to be in an absolute tizzy, frantically hunting for his hearing-aids he had misplaced. Sometimes we would spend the first hour or so of my day there hunting. Nothing but nothing could happen until they were found....

Last week when weighing in at the dialysis clinic I was chatting with some of the technicians who know I’m a clergyperson and always welcome me with the greeting, “Father.” They also know a little of our work with our Garden of Hope at St. Francis and ask me how the watermelons are coming along. “Haven’t planted them yet,” I reply....

We are creatures of habit. When I look around the church on any Sunday morning, I can pretty much predict where I will find everyone seated. We also are creatures of prerogative and entitlement. We know who belongs where. There’s a story told of one of the first Black women who showed up for worship at All Saints in Pasadena. As she sat up toward front waiting for the service to begin, she overheard two women behind her speaking loudly enough so she would hear, “Why don’t they just go to their own church?” “What’s she doing here anyway?” the other commented....

We are a distracted nation. I see folks walking down the sidewalk in front of my house, their faces in their phones. Having no idea of what’s going on around them. Kids in restaurants with their parents, what might be quality family time, but in their phones. And sometimes it’s also the parents captivated by their phones. We’re bombarded with hundreds of messages daily seeking to get our attention....

On the Fourth we celebrate in all sorts of ways: some with downright jingoism, some with smoky barbecues, some with a sporting event, some just chillin in the park with friends and family. Oh, and don’t forget the fireworks. July 4th is also a popular date for naturalization ceremonies wherein immigrants officially become US citizens -- ceremonies often held in parks, courthouses, stadiums, or even historical sites....

Today the Church celebrates the only Sunday reserved for a doctrine, the doctrine of the Trinity. All across the nation hapless preachers will stumble from one heresy to another in an attempt to explain what can’t be explained. For you see, it is the experience that comes first, then come our feeble attempts to put inadequate words to it. When the first humanoid looked up at the sky, beholding the Milky Way, when astounded by the immensity of the sea, when she beheld the wonder of a newly birthed child, when a person painted in caves the first likenesses of the beasts of the fields that provided nourishment, these were moments of sheer awe....

Take a trip down Memory Lane to your high school days. The homecoming game your team won and the sock hop at the gym afterwards. Hormones raging and some old-fashioned teacher attempting to police the two-inch distance between slow-dancing couples on the dance floor. I can still picture my girl friend of that time and to this day her perfume lingers in my mind....

When I opened my Sojourners magazine this month I found a few articles about self-care. Yes, self-care in the face of the devastation that we witness daily as workers are summarily fired, the genocide in Gaza unfolds nightly in living color, our healthcare as put at risk by a quack administrator of Health and Human Services. Yes, Medicaid threatened with over $700 million in cuts, threatening to eliminate care for over 40 million Americans....
