Fred “God Hates Everyone But Fred Phelps/Thank God for Dead Soldiers” Phelps and a couple of his family member-followers paid St. Charles a visit today. And I thought of him when I read the Sermon on the Mount. Specifically, Matthew

Love is patient, love is kind, love is not a license to say anything you want

Yep, I've got another pet peeve. Last weekend I wrote about passing "Christian" judgment.

This week I'd like to talk about another favorite tool of the fundamentalist: so-called "Christian Love," which, when it has the qualifier, often is anything but.

I got a comment on the site here today that I was going to repeat verbatim here, but I realized it was basically asking three questions, so why not just ask and answer the three questions?

That’s it, I want to be an author again

I want to write a book. A short book. One that won't mention computers at all, hopefully. I'm thinking 100-120 pages would be a good length. A Christian book. Not terribly deep, but very hands-on and practical, which will say what God has to say about a problem a growing number of people face. (What I have to say alone isn't especially worthwhile. I'm just a journalist turned systems administrator, which means I studied a lot about nothing in particular in college, and somewhere along the way learned about computers.)

Should I file this under ‘Christianity’ or ‘Writing?’

We had two Christian authors at church Wednesday night. I went to Tim Wesemann's presentation. The topic was family devotions with your children. I don't have children. I'm still glad I went, because I didn't have family devotions growing up, and neither did anyone else I know. So I'm dealing today with people in their twenties and even in their thirties who don't know how to pray.
