Clusterfuzzle – Susan Isaacs on SBE

Erik Guzman January 15th, 2010

Anne Lamott says that laughter is the carbonated form of holiness. If that's true, Susan Isaacs is an effervescent, snarky, super-saint.

Join Susan on this week's Steve Brown Etc. as we discuss the tragedy in Haiti, Pat Robertson, and we finally get the answer to the question, "If there's a good God, why does he allow so much pain and suffering?" How's that for comedy?!! Waka waka.

Rejected by eHarmony!

Susan Isaacs November 11th, 2009

How do you get rejected by eharmony? Start by telling the truth.

Two and a half years ago, I decided I needed to get over my ex. It had been five months since we broke up, and he managed to meet someone the following week. So I did something I swore I would never do. I tried internet dating.

Five years ago, internet dating felt like a realm reserved for the desperate. Mail-order brides, ex-nuns with facial hair, obese IT nerds who live alternate lives online as ro … (Read More)

Sharon June 26th, 2008

I could barely swallow any solid food, so was relegated to protein shakes, and very simple things. Consequently, my five foot three inch frame whittled down from 110 pounds, to 97 pounds in a matter of about two weeks. I looked horrid: older, drawn and beaten down.

A Doxology in Darkness – Chapter 1 – Screaming

Sharon June 18th, 2008

Wailing is one thing, but vocal cord ripping shrieks of pain are another.

I drove down the road, screaming until my sides ached, and my throat felt as though it were sure to bleed if I continued much longer. As I began to pound the steering wheel, the inarticulate screams took the shape of words, and I was stunned to hear those words were directed straight at God.

"You aren't good!!" I shrieked. "You're a liar! You're not good! You aren&# … (Read More)
