On Sunday, I wrote a sister piece to this post about simply being at the St. Louis 9/11 memorial, and the importance for me to not take photos on that day. Today, I visited with my camera and some of the same thoughts went through my head as on Sunday. And yet, even so, I [...]

On Thursday night in Forest Park, walking a favorite path and looking at hundreds of yellow flowers to find the perfect shot, I walked into a pocket of cool air and for a few seconds forgot about photography. I felt the evening instead of simply seeing it; I saw the glory of the flowers dancing [...]

Please watch this video from the PBS NewsHour. 100,000 square kilometers flooded. 30,000 kilometers of roads flooded. 9 million acres of crops flooded. 21,000,000 people effected. 150 new villages flooded as water shifts. This is why we are doing Artists for Pakistan and why in addition to that small effort people need to pay attention [...]

When the Haiti earthquake occurred, the response in our country was immediate and overwhelming, and with good reason, as so many people lost their lives. The needs continue to be great and help should continue to flow. The response to the Pakistani flooding, though, in both dollars and attention, seems to be muted in comparison. [...]

Please pray for the family of Benazir Bhutto, for the families of the others who died, for the peace of the country of Pakistan, for more people to come to know Jesus.
A Passage to America
Posted in World Affairs on Monday, July 16, 2007 | 5 Comments »
In preparing for a non-western literature class which I teach, I read a short essay by the Indian writer R. K. Narayan. It was about a visit he had made to America and the situation of Indian immigrants in this society. This last paragraph struck me as something of an indictment of our culture and, [...]
