		<title>The Fog of Money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Is anybody else confused about the mixed messages we get from our financial  gurus? Should I buy more in order to keep the economic engine humming? Ok,  but overconsumption is killing our planet. The next day on the news I hear  that we&#8217;re overextended financially. We&#8217;re in debt up to our eyeballs. We need  to save [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jesus: The Guy Who Gets Your Hopes Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was riffing on the lectionary text for this past Sunday, Jesus&#8217; healing of a man with  leprosy. I&#8217;d like to share a take on it that came to me out of the proverbial blue on Sunday  morning as I was doing a final edit of my sermon. It occasioned an almost complete  rewrite of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Human One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I just returned from co-leading a workshop in Chicago with the wonderful and  radiant Barbara Marx Hubbard who is the future present in her unrelenting  evocation of our human potential. To be honest, it&#8217;s a little intimidating co- presenting with someone who is so on-purpose that her whole life has become  that purpose. If she [...]]]></description>

		<title>God As Beloved Other</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I keep running into a theological stumbling block for atheists and  progressive Christians alike. Namely, is God personal? Both camps  tend to hear this question as &#8220;Is God a person?&#8221; Progressives want to  dissociate themselves completely from the mythic Old Man In the  Sky of the Bible who intervenes episodically to rescue us. (Never  mind [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Look! I Am a Whale[1]  We live on the sun’s playground. Here, Everyone gets what they want. Sometimes the body of a beautiful woman, Sometimes the body of a beautiful man, Sometimes the body of both in one. &#160; We used to play that kind of tag In the animal world too.

		<title>The Tree of Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ The Tree of Life by Terrence Malick wasn&#8217;t what I thought it was going to be. Friends  and reviewers had described it as esoteric, imagistic, and even incomprehensible. I  expected that there would be very little narrative thread to follow. Actually, there is a  clear narrative thread, but it&#8217;s Big History. Malick sets the story [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s the Difference Between Spiritual and Supernatural?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ One of my blog readers asked me to provide some perspective on the  difference between &#8220;spiritual&#8221; and  &#8221;supernatural&#8221;, noting that  everybody these days wants to be spiritual, without believing in the  &#8221;supernatural&#8221;.  Yet, isn&#8217;t &#8220;spirit&#8221;, by definition, other than natural? First, let&#8217;s clarify the word &#8220;spiritual&#8221;, because there is a whole lot of  confusion out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marilyn and the Helpless Male</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I loved One Week with Marilyn, the film that tells the story of the  shooting of the film The Prince and the Showgirl, starring Marilyn Munroe and  Sir Laurence  Olivier. In the process of shooting the film, a third Production  Assistant falls  madly in love with Marilyn. Well, every man on set falls in love [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why New Year&#8217;s Resolutions Don&#8217;t Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Ok, sometimes they work. But most of our resolutions are doomed to  fail. Why? After all, most of us aren&#8217;t stupid. We&#8217;re not lazy. And  we&#8217;re not bad. So you&#8217;d think that if we put our mind to making a  positive change in our life, we&#8217;d have better track records. There&#8217;s a reason that our [...]]]></description>

		<title>See How the Proud Are Scattered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; A: The Dream It’s curtain time but the melody escapes me. And I have forgotten my glasses, so I cannot even read the words to the song that I have not memorized. I can’t even fake it. All is lost. I am lost. How could I let this happen? The audience waits. For me. To deliver. [...]]]></description>
