“Oh, man. Check that out,” I sighed. “Wow, that’s really nice,” Mark admired. “Hey, it’s on sale. Let’s get it.” I picked up the beautiful angel figure and turned it around in my hands. I ran my finger over its sweeping wings. On the hem of its robe was etched the word “Hope”. It seemed as though God had placed … Continue reading →

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became … Continue reading →

Who the heck are you, anyway? Kinda funny, I get asked that all the time. Even folks who’ve known me for decades ask me that. Even my own family asks me that. No, I don’t have a personality disorder.

Or, more precisely, Mark’s fingertips. We could have simply printed our own money, as two Milwaukee neighborhoods intend to do:http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/chi-talk_moneydec03,0,2902061.story Yuppers! We can design … Continue reading →

Truth. I’ve been thinking a lot about that word lately. The telling of the truth – or lack thereof – can have irreversible impact. Sometimes it’s a positive impact and, unfortunately sometimes it’s a negative one. At least initially. I’m thinking of a young woman employed at a nursing home who voiced her disapproval of the shameless abuses of staff … Continue reading →
