Give up your good 'Christian' life and follow Jesus

Where I come from, when a Catholic marries a Lutheran it is considered the first step on the road to Minneapolis.

We carry adolescence around in our bodies all our lives. We get through the Car Crash Age alive and cruise through our early twenties as cool dudes, wily, dashing, winsome . . . shooting baskets, the breeze, the moon, and then we try to become caring men, good husbands, great fathers, good citizens.

I don't want them to be told to remember me.

I don't associate work with feelings of satisfaction. Rather, guilt, frustration, and resentment of people who write better than I do.

Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.

Jesus said the meek would inherit the earth, but so far all we've gotten is Minnesota and North Dakota.
