Dealing with the Scary Stuff

by p.w.eubanks Leave a Comment on Dealing with the Scary Stuff

A friend and colleague of mine who does human rights work alongside me mentioned recently that she went on vacation and left her work phone off the whole time, only to fear when she turned it back on she would learn someone she’d been in touch with had been murdered the night before. It wouldn’t […]

I Really Hate Fireworks

by p.w.eubanks Leave a Comment on I Really Hate Fireworks

Listening to the fireworks, I don’t have a whole lot of love for July 4th, and I never have. It’s a holiday that admittedly means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and I have every ounce of respect for that, the grandson of a World War II vet, an Eagle […]

Complicit Theologies: the Status Quo Church

by p.w.eubanks 1 Comment on Complicit Theologies: the Status Quo Church

I’m saddened and appalled by all that has happened at the Capitol, even more so by what I expect in the coming days and weeks will be horrific revelations that it’s much worse than we currently realize as evidence is already mounting to suggest as much. Saddened, appalled, yes–not shocked. Now comes the harder part: […]

You are not Christian.

by p.w.eubanks 2 Comments on You are not Christian.

Throughout my life I was told by “Christian” pastors, children’s ministers, camp leaders, youth directors, Sunday school teachers, and other church workers and parishioners so many heartfelt, dignified, and loving words about what Christianity was through the life and ministry of Jesus. I believed them. Today, I no longer see those same people living the […]

Is America Headed Toward Civil War?

by p.w.eubanks 1 Comment on Is America Headed Toward Civil War?

Societies–because they’re made up of people–function a lot like people do as individuals. Just as you or I might bottle up our anger and then one day explode, so can a society bottle up its collective anger and then explode all at once. On an individual level, as well as a societal one, we can […]

Five Reasons Americans Prefer a COVID-19 Death

by p.w.eubanks 2 Comments on Five Reasons Americans Prefer a COVID-19 Death

I don’t understand why anyone is surprised that Americans are incapable of following “stay at home” orders. This is the country of “Honey Boo Boo,” anti-vaxxers, Joe Exotic, and Neo-Nazis holding public office. We aren’t exactly the cream of the crop, as countries go, even though we think we are. Here in New Jersey, while […]

In the Event of My Violent Death

by p.w.eubanks Leave a Comment on In the Event of My Violent Death

This is an admittedly sobering and macabre piece for which I am providing a trigger warning of sorts given the discussion of violence and death herein. Though it’s personal on some level, I don’t really see this as something I am writing about me but rather something I am writing about my hopes for our […]
