Two Questions about Marriage and the Civil Law |... →
Please take the time to read this article. It is worth it. I’ve been very hesitant to bring the conversation of same-sex ‘marriage’ into my web space. It is a thicket of nuance and difficult anthropological/ societal questions and it is volcanic ground for emotional reaction. However, I think it’s an important and timely conversation that our society is having. I have deep...

Dan Savage Was Right | First Things →
He rejected the Bible as “bullshit” in a keynote address to high-school journalists, and then described students who chose to walk away as “pansy-assed.” … His hypocrisy is painfully evident. And yet, in the rush to (rightly) condemn, conservative responses have often overlooked the fact that Savage was on to something. A must read.

3 Ways Not to Suck (at Life or) on Twitter
Earlier today I made a whole fistful of snarky comments on twitter about monetizing my account. Hopefully you realize they were jokes. If so, reading this post will be mostly redundant for you (but maybe validating and you can be all like “YEAH!” at the good stuff). If you didn’t get the joke, PLEASE read this. It’s important. We’re all still figuring out how this...

lifebelow14th: Okay, so I don’t typically write music reviews. I myself worked in music a long time as a songwriter (For Atlantic and Sony) and have always seen my fair share of “talent”. I’ve worked with pop artist, country artist, christian artist, and beyond. The Christian music scene has always been…

Cancer Post #7: The End of Chemotherapy
Tomorrow is the last day that I will go in for Chemotherapy. I can’t tell you what a relief this is- emotionally, physically, practically. I’m very grateful to be finishing.  With cancer, the word “cured” is not quickly used. My current status is “no evidence of disease.” It’s really great news. The next step from here will be PET/CT Scans every several...

audreyassad: Some people desperately want Bob Lefsetz to review their records or come to their performances. I am scared poopless of that idea. I mean, I think of it and actually shudder in fear. You know why? Because I don’t have the balls to say that I’m great at what I do! That makes me think I haven’t yet… From my wife, the Bad Ass.

Innovation today is 99% driven towards making things easier. But we’re human beings (and quite capable). What we really need is for things to be more satisfying. Easy is a crass version of enjoyable.

audreyassad: When I picked a song to cover for this little project, the song just stuck out to me. It would have been a more obvious choice, perhaps, to have picked one of the old jazz standards that my voice and piano lend themselves so easily to…but I wanted to challenge myself and my artistry and my…
