Life on Venus

April 14th, 2010

This is part of my last assignment for my last spring of seminary/grad school. It’s an image showing my current theological space. I’ve been inhabiting a different planet for some time now. I could call it Planet Lent/Holy Week/Resurrection. I could call it Planet People In My Room Late At Night. Or Planet Not-Submarine. But [...]

Living in Lent

1
February 26th, 2010

Historically, Lent is both a time of preparation and a time of longing. In the early church, it was a time to prepare for baptism, which in the midst of intense persecution meant preparing for death. You underwent a spiritual death and rebirth so that you no longer had to fear physical death. In Lent, [...]

“Facebook, Roadside Attractions and the Atonement” or “Vince on the Cross”

3
January 19th, 2010

I was allowing myself to be distracted by Facebook one day, following friend’s links haphazardly to see what quizzes they’d scored 83% on or what pictures they took on their vacations. One link trail took me to a photo album of a friend from high school. No doubt it was the photo album title, “Holy [...]

Adolescent Heroines and the Unexpected Epiphanies They Bring

3
January 18th, 2010

Last Friday, six pages into Suzanne Collins Hunger Games, I had a revelation: I spent my entire adolescence reading about adults. I didn’t read The Chronicles of Narnia until my junior year of college. I read Little Women soon after. Madeline L’Engle’s Time Quartet was a college graduation gift I gave myself. A week and [...]

MHGS [...]

"If I Read Your Play, Will You Promise To Stop Writing Them?"

0
September 21st, 2009

This is my third year reviewing submissions for a playwrights’ residency program in NY. Every year I wait excitedly for my packet of plays to arrive in a giant manilla envelope. Then, every year my smile slackens upon reading the first line of the first play, wherein I remember that 4,999 out of every 5,000 [...]
