 One comment Many years ago, I remember waiting anxiously for Sinead O’Connor’s performance on Saturday Night Live. A coworker had loaned me a cassette tape of her album titled I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got a while earlier, and I had been hooked ever since. The bald head, the enormous doe eyes, the quivering but powerful . . . → Read More: The Real Enemy By Brian, on June 30th, 2010 |
3 commentsI have long loved the hymn “Just As I Am.” Although it was often overused at the Christian school that I attended as a child, I loved the simplicity of the melody and the message.

She was so excited to have found a church that fed her spiritually, and she wanted to share it with everyone around her. Although I wasn’t very impressed with the style of worship, I was happy that she had potentially found a . . . → Read More: Expecting The Worst |
