As a healthcare worker and more importantly as part of humanity, I was struck by Glen E. Miller MD’s very personal and powerful book entitled Living Thoughtfully, Dying Well: A Doctor Explains How To Make Death A Natural Part Of Life. A book that is written particularly for the elderly or chronically ill and theirContinue reading “Book Review: Living Thoughtfully, Dying Well by Glen E. Miller, MD (Reviewed by Renee Hart)”

In It For the Long Haul: Gracialized Vision & The New Black Panther $10,000 Bounty
Well, whether some like it or not, we have been thrust into a national dialogue on race, violence, and the legal system. I can’t lie, I can often get very frustrated by the same old story being played out over and over again. How many more young black males have to die? Since slavery hasContinue reading “In It For the Long Haul: Gracialized Vision & The New Black Panther $10,000 Bounty”
I’m Back and Blacker than Ever!

Common’s Freestyle – 16 bars

What I mean is how can we break from merely memorizing and studying other people’s theology from Europe in theContinue reading “Common’s Freestyle – 16 bars”
It’s Friday… But Sundays Coming
A true freestyle theologian does not merely observe Good Friday and Ressurection Sunday, but rather they also seek to find out what practical implications there are from these biblical principles for their communities. Freestyle with me, are there areas of despair in your life and in society that just seem hopeless? How can Sunday invadeContinue reading “It’s Friday… But Sundays Coming”

An Itch…
I must be honest, I have an ever growing itch to live truly shaped by the life of Christ and within His Kingdom. I know some think of me as radically living out my faith, and probably because of american christian complacency it may sometimes appear that way. However, when I step into reality andContinue reading “An Itch…”
Another perspective on Obama’s reforming of Health Care
Just wanted to share this article I read about Obama’s failure to follow through on his original promises for Health Care that he got elected for. And it leaves me thinking, when it comes to Health Care, are we our brothers keeper? I have health care coverage, but should I fight to make sure thatContinue reading “Another perspective on Obama’s reforming of Health Care”
Flash back to Lauryn Hill’s call for true Hip Hop
I love this song, and obviously Lauryn Hill is one of Hip Hip’s finest artists. I love the line “”music is supposed to inspire, so how come we ain’t gettin no higher”. There have always been mainly two main streams of hip hop… why are the stereotypical performers the most popular, and what effect isContinue reading “Flash back to Lauryn Hill’s call for true Hip Hop”
