JFK’s Bedtime Prayers

September 15, 2011 by David Anderson 2 Comments

JFK & Jackie

It was March 1964, months after the assassination of her husband, when Jacqueline Kennedy sat down with Arthur M. Schlesinger for a seven-part interview. The tapes of that interview had been sealed—until now. Reading an article in the newspaper, including excerpts from the interviews, I was taken by Jackie’s remarks on her husband’s religion, especially […]

The Squirrels of 9/12

Squirrel

On my early morning run today there were squirrels everywhere, racing around with walnuts clutched in their mouths. Fall is coming and they know it. It’s time to put away food for a winter’s day. There is work to do. After weeks of drum beat and ballyhoo, 9/11 came and went. Now it is 9/12. […]

Deck Chairs

Pam and I are hosting a party tonight—for about 80 people.

The Old Well

old stone well

“God is an underground river,” Meister Eckhart said, “that no one can dam up or stop.” I love that image of God because it completely flips the dominant image of God “up there.” When we first imagine a deity, God is always “up,” always distant, the Sky God of nearly every ancient religion. Until, gradually, […]

Cracks of Gold

The great question of human spiritual development is, What do I do with my brokenness?  The simple fact is, nobody makes it into this world without getting a little damaged in transit. We don’t look like the pictures in the magazines. We can’t play football or basketball like the stars—our bodies just can’t do those […]
