The Ten Commandments in Louisiana Public Schools

Jesus: True Friend of Sinners
WWJD with Gay Neighbors? What would Jesus do if He lived next door to a gay couple? What if He met them one day as they were coming out of their apartment? Would He make small talk? Would He act like everything were cool? Would He try to get them to like Him and be…
“Trust Your Feelings, Luke”
Almost anyone in my generation immediately flashes back to Luke Skywalker’s harrowing flight over the surface of the Death Star. He is sweating bullets as he makes his way towards the tiny two-foot target at which he’ll only get one shot. At this most pressing moment, the voice of his dead mentor, Obi Wan, comes…
