Evangelist Wrong to Encourage Christians to Write In ‘Jesus’ for President

On Monday one of my other colleagues at The Christian Post, Alex Murashko, wrote a story on Internet evangelist Bill Keller’s campaign to get Christians to write in “Jesus” for president this year. That is certainly an insult to our Lord and Savior. I discovered that Alex was writing the story during our early morning intranet chat between reporters and editors. I immediately responded to Alex by writing the following sentence: “Why would Jesus want to be President of the United States? He is already God over the entire Universe.” Here is the link to the story. My friend thought my quote would be perfect for his story and wanted to know if he had my permission to use it. But Alex and I knew he couldn’t since I am a fellow editor/reporter and it’s not good journalism to get a quote from a colleague sitting next to you (well, not literally because I am in Tennessee and Alex lives in California).

Book: The Four Laws of Forgiveness

I haven’t written much lately about my manuscript, but I am close to completing the final chapter on forgiveness. Writing this chapter was more difficult than I imagined – not because I haven’t forgiven those I needed to – but I want to convey the process of forgiveness in the proper prospective. It's been a challenge. In the meantime, I’ve had some phenomenal conversations with people who have gone through similar experiences as mine, some of whose names you would recognize if I listed them here (but I never will). Others are not famous or well-known, but had to deal with the same issues. There stories are no less important that someone who is well known. Recently, one of my colleagues at The Christian Post, Alex Murashko, wrote a piece on Brad Johnson, a Southern California pastor whose affair was exposed how he had to learn forgiveness all over again. You can click here to read the story. The book is titled, The Four Laws of Forgiveness: How to Forgive Yourself and Others, and is available on Amazon. You can find it here. My experience in writing has taught me that it’s not the specifics of my story that is [...]
