I have a friend who used to throw sheets over her mirrors. She had heard of a religion that believed your soul could be stolen if you looked in a mirror at night. My husband went to law school with some very intellectual individuals who would not take a test without their lucky article of …

Are you in the belly of a fish?
The story of Jonah is one many of us have heard since our youth. Jonah is told to go preach to the Ninevites, a city practicing wickedness, and Jonah catches the next boat available heading to anywhere but Nineveh. As a child, I had always assumed that Jonah feared for his own life and that …

For some of you who have not been following the dialogue I have been having with an Anonymous reader, this post may seem outside of the spirit of the blog. I can not email Anonymous or respond in private and so the best way is in a post. Please understand that I feel compelled to …
Response to Comment
This post is in response to yesterday’s comment on the blog post “He Didn’t Do It For Nothing.” When I left high school and went off to college I had not been attending church for awhile. I still claimed the Christian faith and did not see church as a bad thing, but whether confessed or …

This is a post I made on Facebook a couple of months ago, so some of you have already seen it, but I think it is a valuable lesson and reminder to us all of how lucky we are. Through her Sunday School Colette has been collecting money for the children in Haiti. For each …
Who Am I? Part 4 Craig
Five years ago today the weather was quite different than this rainy day we are experiencing. It was a Friday, bright and sunny. I remember driving to work with the windows down and good music on the radio, looking forward to some rest and relaxation that Labor Day weekend. It was only natural that Craig …
