Sara Miles’ conversion to Christianity not only opened her eyes to Christ, but opened the eyes of now fellow Christians
Sara Miles never expected to convert to a religion and worship a God she didn’t believe existed.  Strange as it may sound, but that’s conversion. Former atheist editor of Mother Jones magazine, Miles found herself mysteriously [...]

Fidel Castro | Originally uploaded by Melissa in TN.

Yo, ho-ho. Any dude who bans Christmas for 29 years straight is probably just stone-cold crazy. But Cuba’s dictator’s early letters, now published in English, provide a few surprises, including a spiritual side and what appears to be a concern for human rights.
Taking Castro’s early words at face value provides [...]

Mitt Romney: the Republicans’ minority candidate

Posted by Soul's Code on 23 Feb 2007 | Tagged as:

The Democrats have their “minority” candidates for president — Hillary and Obama — but the Republicans have one, too. Come on down, Mitt Romney: translation = Mormon.

Slate’s always-funny David Plotz is in rare form this week, as he recaps the tale of Jonah and the whale.
If you haven’t been following Plotz’s project, a smart, fresh take on one chunk of that seemingly familiar book every day, now’s a great time to dive in.

Anna Nicole judge: too spiritual?

Posted by Soul's Code on 23 Feb 2007 | Tagged as:

Being spiritual is good. Putting it on display while deciding what to do with Anna Nicole Smith’s body? Maybe not so good.

The judge’s offbeat folksiness combines the directness of a Judge Judy with the touchy-feely common sense of a Dr. [...]

In last week’s issue of Time, Jim Carrey quoted Eckhart Tolle and revealed he’d visited the spiritual teacher at his home in Vancouver, B.C. “Has Jim Carrey Flipped Out?”
Carrey emerges as a very confused man who seems to have two countervailing forces at war within him, vying for hegemony. In his interview with Time, [...]

Britney Spears gets real?

Posted by soulscode on 17 Feb 2007 | Tagged as:

They call it ”terrible.” Others sayBrit’s got “issues.” Her fans claim they’re “crushed” by the way her life is unfolding.
Over the past few days Britney Spears has:
*Shaved her head;
*Reportedly spent a 24-hours stint in rehab;
*Gotten inked at random tattoo parlors.
It’s tempting to judge this, call it a train-wreck, etc. But maybe playing the game of presenting a false image [...]

Love triangles have been a hot-button with editors, producers and the public these days yet one of the most provocative stories has remained MIA from national headlines. San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom’s or the NASA space-shuttle captain Lisa Nowak’s affairs have nothing in the “Jesus-H” department compared to this one.
