I don’t know him, but it kind of feels like I do.
He grew up just across the state line from where I did. He memorized the same Bible verses I did, probably using the same Sunday school curriculum I did. He went to Vacation Bible School, probably doing the same crafts and singing the [...]

Dear Dr. Moore,
I want to get a tattoo. I’d like it on my stomach, with a cross, with the words, “Flee Immorality: You Were Bought with a Price.” I’d like this as a measure of accountability for myself as the years go by, in case the zeal I have for the gospel ever [...]

One of my earliest memories is of a substitute Sunday school teacher chastening me for putting a coin in my mouth. “That’s filthy,” she said. “Why, you don’t know if a colored man might have held that.” It might just be my imagination playing tricks on me, but it seems as though she immediately [...]

Not too long ago, Mondays were an important day for me. On late Monday afternoon, I’d stop by the local independent bookstore, Hawley-Cooke here in Louisville, and raid the newsstand. There would the “hot off the press” editions of Newsweek, Time, and U.S. News and World Report, along with others such as the New [...]

Elvis Presley sang about a “Blue Christmas,” and I’m not feeling so perky myself.
That’s not because my Christmas was depressing, far from it. It’s that the aftermath was.
We spent Christmas with our extended family back in Elvis’s homeland and mine, Mississippi. My four sons spent a little over a week romping through the streets [...]
