I thought my title could read “Who Is Troy Davis?” while I watched hope interrupt Troy’s execution. But the hope only lasted 4 hours. A man named Troy Davis was executed on Wednesday, September 22, 2011 at 11:08 p.m. in Georgia. He has been on death row for 22 years for shooting and killing a [...]

What does it mean to lose faith? I have always believed that doubt is a part of faith. Otherwise, it would be fact, and faith by its definition is a belief beyond facts or, to some, without facts. So doubts have rarely made me uncomfortable. I see them as how we maintain and grow stronger [...]

When I took these pictures, I couldn’t help but think of that old story, Footprints in the Sand. As I remember it: A man dies and as he’s looking back over his life with his pal, God, he sees two sets of footprints. He asks who the second set of footprints belong to and God [...]

Almost every Saturday, I drive by the demonstrations outside of Richmond’s abortion clinic. These creative displays of indignation have included newborn birthday parties, large billboards of fetuses, loud prayer and yelling. I thought hard about how to show my disdain without stooping to the level of name-calling. I make eye contact, give the thumbs down [...]

Many people have asked how I went from a Republican atheist to a God-loving, Christian-leaning liberal. I’ve not been inclined to write about it until this week when I read an essay from the New York Times — a commencement speech by Jonathon Franzen. I clicked on it not because I’ve read any of Franzen’s [...]

I’ve thought a lot about how to teach my children about God. I have a strong faith. I pray every single day. I talk to God. I listen for God. I long for a closer relationship with God. But we stopped attending church this summer. When walking the line of monotheism, rainbow flags in our [...]

Remember our marriage rules? Well, my husband and I decide to do a meditation Sunday night for “spiritual night.” Which is not a euphemism. Most nights. We turn to iTunes. Because what guru isn’t podcasting these days? As it turns out, a lot them. We peruse our twenty-five gurus. And although the meditation marked EXPLICIT [...]

A reader sent me an article about a group of 38 charity and religious leaders fasting to bring God into politics. More specifically to “seek God’s help in fighting proposed budget cuts they believe are ‘immoral.’” (source) Now, I don’t believe in fasting. I think that we should treat our bodies as well as possible [...]
