New Year’s Resolution: I’ve Given Up Running On Pine Cones
When you get up to run before dawn, it’s dark out. When you run in the dark, you take your chances. I know that, but I still run early because otherwise I wouldn’t run at all. It’s worked out fine. … Continue reading
How a Modern Congresswoman and an Ancient General Taught Me about Peace with God

Our front door is adorned by painted pumpkins. They look like this: There’s another set of them on the other side of the doorway. For years we’ve painted our pumpkins soon after Thanksgiving. Some years they’ve been red and green, … Continue reading
The Anticipation of Christ – it’s not what people expected
[This post appeared at Aimee Byrd’s place on December 13, 2011. Blessed Advent and Merry Christmas to you all.] Anticipation Christmas carols. They’re all over. From the radio to shopping malls and even in churches. Yes, I said even in … Continue reading

We don’t do Santa
When our kids were younger, we never told them Santa is real. We did tell them that Santa is fun, and read the stories (yay for Clement C. Moore!) and watched the TV specials (stop-action reindeer rock) and sang the … Continue reading
