A Case of the Human Condition: I’ve Got One — And So Does My Mom

My mother has been in the hospital. Nothing too serious. But a lot of driving back and forth between the hospital and home for me.

From now on, until my mom is better, my regular posts will appear just once a week — probably on a Saturday. As usual, there will be additional posts in between.

I’ll be reporting soon on Harvey Cox’s latest book, The Future of Faith. Also, some thoughts from a funny/profound guy from Croatia, Samir Selmanovic, who’s written a book called It’s Really All About God.
