People know where we’ve been, and from our tracks they can usually figure out where we’re going. Beyond that, others know how we’ve made the passage. They’ve watched our steps, observed our behavior, and listened to the words that have passed our lips. Like it or not, we leave something behind. What we say to …
December Reflections
Every morning the headlines drive us deeper into an existential funk. It seems as if everyone hates everyone else these days, and it is easy to lose hope.A regular feature of a daily column I read is entitled “Everything Isn’t Awful,” and typically offers a brief video of cute animals doing cute things with other …
November Reflections
Let the world have its sterile, impotent definition of “thanksgiving.” The Christian’s stance is to be utterly different, in that our thanksgiving is to be both spiritual and physical; it is to ignite both praise to God and earthly works in His name; more than simply a verbal expression of gratitude, it is to be …
