Glory and Ruin, Part II

By Craig Glass | May 15, 2015 | Blog, Character, Heroes, Redemption, Transformation | 0 Comments

“If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.” —Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn As a survivor of the Gulag Archipelago, the massive Soviet system of […]

You Are Light

By Craig Glass | May 11, 2015 | Blog, Character, Community, Transformation | 0 Comments

As I’ve met with a group of over 50 men on Friday mornings this past year, I John 1:7 has been a core verse for us: “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from every […]

And the Greatest of These…is Shame.

By Craig Glass | March 30, 2015 | Anger, Blog, Character, Community, Fear, Significance, Transformation | 5 Comments

Most people who know much about men, know that anger is a frequent trait that we struggle with. It seems to be a reflexive emotion whenever we encounter frustration or disappointment. It comes out in road rage, kicking the cat, yelling at the kids, or abusing wives. It’s awful and it’s destructive. A second emotion […]

Prison Redemption

I haven’t spent a lot of time in prison. But I vividly remember each visit. Last weekend I joined my friend, Ron, in a visit to the Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility, about 2 hours southeast of Colorado Springs. It wasn’t my first visit to a jail or prison, and just to be clear, none of […]

Avoiding Highway D

By Craig Glass | October 21, 2014 | Anger, Blog, Character, Redemption, Transformation | 20 Comments

Having grown up in northern Illinois, I have a permanent memory of certain highway route numbers and the roads they pertain to: Rt. 68, Dundee Road; Rt. 83, Elmhurst Road; Rt. 21 Milwaukee Road, and so on. In Wisconsin they seem to have a partially different system, which is based largely on letters rather than […]

Glory and Ruin.

By Craig Glass | June 5, 2014 | Blog, Character, Redemption, Transformation | 0 Comments

I remember coming home from college on a 1972 weekend to find my mom standing at the ironing board riveted to the Watergate scandal hearings on TV. To those of us “of a certain age” the cast of characters lingers in our memories as if they are carved on a stone wall: H. R. Haldeman, […]

Forgiveness—Even If You Don’t Love Me Anymore

By Craig Glass | June 5, 2014 | Blog, Forgiveness, Redemption, Transformation | 2 Comments

“Craig, I know I need to forgive you…but it isn’t today. I’ll let you know when it is.” So spoke a friend, I had seriously offended, once we met and he had a chance to clear the air of the anger he felt toward me. “The more I know, the less I understand All the […]

“Your Teaching Has Touched Us Deeply”

By Craig Glass | April 14, 2014 | Blog, Character, Community, Culture, Redemption, Transformation | 1 Comment

“I like to learn, but to be honest, I don’t like being taught. It makes me feel ignorant. That’s why I’ve never liked being taught by Westerners.” It’s a rare honor when a man from another culture trusts you enough to tell you the truth. After eight days in Burundi, four sessions of intensive mentoring, […]

It’s About Forgiveness

By Craig Glass | January 6, 2014 | Blog, Character, Compassion, Courage, Culture, Forgiveness, Redemption, Transformation | 0 Comments

Last month I posted some comments about the legacy of Nelson Mandela, One Man Matters, noting that one of the greatest impacts he had in his latter years was to demonstrate what forgiveness looks like. Recently, my son Alec sent me a link to a blog by Tullian Tchividjian, Forgiven People Forgive, on the same […]

My Non-Resolution List for 2014

By Craig Glass | January 3, 2014 | Blog, Character, God, Hope, Transformation | 14 Comments

I’ve mentioned in a previous post, Hope for 2011, that I’m not particularly fond of making New Years resolutions. I do, however, value the opportunity to recalibrate my spiritual compass by reviewing areas where I see a need for growth, and by clarifying priorities for prayer and choices I make in the coming year. If […]
