Quote of the Week...
Food for Thought. . .
Invariably, I will awake during certain nights and see what appear to be hairy rods protruding up from the bed. It is not a nightmare, something out of Elm Street. Rather, the protuberances are the legs of our Golden Retriever, Henry. Of course, this is a dead give away that Henry sleeps with us. The thought of a dog in bed may be ghastly to some. We rather enjoy Henry’s company. (He is, as I like to say, a portable space heater.) We also enjoy when Henry’s legs are stock straight up in bed. This means that he is lying on his back, the most vulnerable position for a dog and one that they will only engage in if they feel very safe. (See the image at the right.)

Going Deeper
Professor James Cone wrote the groundbreaking text The Cross and the Lynching Tree. This lecture captures well his thinking about these two central symbols in Christian life and American society. Powerful . . .
