Haircut & Homily

Homily & Haircut No. 6: A Piece of PaperI remember my ordination well. It was the culmination of years of hard work and study. I no longer have the piece of paper that proved me to be a pastor. Instead, comma I have shoeboxes full of cards and notes from people over the years affirming that call.

Homily & Haircut No. 1:  Interview With a RabbiThere was a time in America where some felt that posting the ten commandments in public settings would save us from our moral decline. The campaign failed to materialize.
