I know there is an overall feeling of helplessness in our country right now. So many of us are at a loss for what to do beyond making phone calls and social media posts (which are still important, but can feel like not enough). I believe strongly in the power of small things adding up to big ones. As one person, I might not be able to do much, but what I CAN do is use my voice and my books to work toward the change I’d like to see. That’s why, for the next five days, from Jan. 30-Feb 3, I’m making the Kindle versions of my entire North Bay series (Out of Left Field, Right as Rain, and Way Off Base) completely free. Art has power, and I do hope these comedies can bring you some comfort and joy in difficult times, but most importantly, I also hope you’ll consider redirecting the funds you might’ve spent on my books and donating instead to one of the many charities working tirelessly in our cities right now. If you are located in an area like Minnesota or Portland, please use the space below to make people aware of the organizations in your area that need help. ... See MoreSee Less

I have not been active on this page in quite some time, but I do want to use my voice when I am able. I know there is a deep sadness and feeling of helplessness In America now. First, let me say in no uncertain terms that what is happening is wrong. There is no room for nuance here. There is no room for “what if he had done some else” or “she shouldn’t have been driving in the streets of her own neighborhood.” We can only deal with what actually did happen, and the reality is grim.There is also no question of where Jesus would be in these situations. He was always on the side of the oppressed, the weak, the vulnerable, the immigrant, and even those his friends considered to be their enemies. He called for loving ESPECIALLY the people you don’t like. And He told us in no uncertain terms to do the same. He also modeled righteous anger when authority figures took advantage of their positions to serve themselves. He spent the first few years of his life as a refugee hiding in a foreign country from a government trying to rid itself of the children they saw as a threat to their power. So, yes, we know exactly what Jesus would do. And it would not involve tear gas or shooting anyone. Violence toward people you dislike is a coward’s response. It takes much more courage to build empathy and work toward change. Minnesota is showing us what to do. We can protest peacefully, donate, call representatives, and we can also vote with wallets. Boycott companies funding this. Sadly, their stock prices often matter more to them than human life. Americans are a naturally strong, resilient, and yes, rebellious group. We’ve been through things like this before. But this time we have the power of connection, advanced communication devices, and receiving information in real time with video evidence. I do believe eventually we will pull through this together, and come out a little better on the other side. But I am not looking forward to the difficult journey it will be to get there. ...
