The Incarnation

December 17, 2019 By The Very Rev. Bill Terry, Rector

The doctrine of the Incarnation is a Gift to the World. I say this because it offers a spiritual foundation that becomes inclusive of our human enterprise.  This is not to dismiss other religions or faith traditions. Each of the varied faith traditions offers some fundamental basis. Judaism offers a broad perspective including philosophy, deep discussion of scripture … [Read more...] about The Incarnation

Father Figure

December 17, 2019 By Ryan Rockford

Picture it: 7:30 on a Saturday morning. I’ve been up all night trolling Grindr and Scruff and Jack’d without much luck. And I’m doing what most guys who’ve been up all night partying, but not having sex, are doing: watching porn, a little arts & crafts, and cleaning our apartments. This is not an unfamiliar scenario to me, and on this Saturday morning I was prepared to … [Read more...] about Father Figure

Making the Yuletide Gay: Fun Stuff To Do This Christmas

December 17, 2019 By Jim Meadows

Looking for stuff to do this holiday season? Loneliness is more viral than the flu during the holidays, and it can be a pretty tough time if you can’t be with the people you love. (OK, sometimes it can be pretty tough with them, too). I’ve combed through a mountain of upcoming local holiday events, however, and have found a pretty good variety of cool stuff to do from now … [Read more...] about Making the Yuletide Gay: Fun Stuff To Do This Christmas

It’s a Week Before Christmas and I Feel… (Fill in The Blank)

December 17, 2019 By Catherine Roland

Consider the question, “It’s a week before Christmas and I feel_______.” It’s getting close to the “DAY,” as they called it in my family a long time ago. I was never quite sure what that meant, but I knew it meant something having to do with the Christmas holiday.  There was always excitement leading up to the DAY. Through the years, my feelings on Christmas have … [Read more...] about It’s a Week Before Christmas and I Feel… (Fill in The Blank)

Untitled Introductions

December 3, 2019 By Dorian-gray Alexander

Give me a kiss to build a dream on And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss Sweetheart, I ask no more than this A kiss to build a dream on Sometimes we have dreams and expectations. Sometimes we achieve them. Sometimes we only dream of doing one thing, then do something entirely different with no expectations. Live long enough and you go down many … [Read more...] about Untitled Introductions

Some Advent Gifts

December 3, 2019 By The Very Rev. Bill Terry, Rector

The following was originally printed in a previous issue. Yet, when re-reading it, I believe it is something that I hope I can share with you again. I also hope that I will see you at one of the many social gatherings that this season offers.  Thanksgiving <BURP!> was great. The Saints, “We go’n to da Supa Bowl!” Rain, cold, warm, cold, rain. What a week! Now the … [Read more...] about Some Advent Gifts

#Me(n) Too

December 3, 2019 By Ryan Rockford

It’s estimated that 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual abuse at some point in their lives, and often are unable to talk about it. I believe that we have to talk about it. Despite what society has groomed us to believe, boys are not immune to sexual abuse just because we’re boys. I should know. The first time it happened is one of my clearest memories from childhood. I was … [Read more...] about #Me(n) Too

The Best Christmas Albums of All Time

December 3, 2019 By Jim Meadows

OK, I admit it. I’m a sucker for Christmas music. I can’t stand those tacky Hallmark Channel made-for-TV Christmas movies they’ve been torturing us with since July, and I definitely disapprove of Yuletide decorations before December. But during the couple of weeks leading up to the main event, nothing gets me in the holiday spirit like Christmas music. Every year, we add at … [Read more...] about The Best Christmas Albums of All Time

Stay in touch with your representatives

December 3, 2019 By Lynn Stevens

Trumpette, Eddie Rispone, lost in the gubernatorial runoff election; four more years of John Bel Edwards.  Edwards has said he will stay the course, making the economy as good as it can be and working to increase teachers’ wages.  In an earlier column, I said maybe Edwards would move further left in his second term but, as was pointed out on WWL-TV’s election … [Read more...] about Stay in touch with your representatives

Tweaking Traditions: Celebrating the Good Times

December 3, 2019 By Catherine Roland

If a quick and dirty poll were conducted about one thing you remembered about food around the holiday season, most of us would come up with at least one favorite recipe, a beloved dish that was served every year.   And then many of us would also recall something that may have occurred during that meal.  Granted, not all people have entirely positive feelings … [Read more...] about Tweaking Traditions: Celebrating the Good Times
