A Brighter Day: Hopes for 2007

Here at home with the family this New Year’s Eve. We’re spending a very lazy and quiet evening at home, and it’s wonderful. Honestly, these days any evening we all get at home together is wonderful. And we’ve actually spent much of this holiday being homebodies…as we were at Thanksgiving too. Longtime friends/readers will note […]

Time’s Person of the Year: Congrats to YOU (And Me)

At first, I thought the editors at Time had lost their minds. Of all the heros, goats, and villains of 2006, the best they could come up with was to name “YOU” as “Person of the Year?!” As I joked in my last post, I suppose this means we all get to put that on […]

The Tumped Over Tree: A Christmas Meditation

Last Sunday night, our family pulled out the boxes from the attic and put up our Christmas tree. I cherish this ritual more each year that passes.

Romomentum

Six games into this season, who woulda thunk-it? Who would’ve dreamed –given their horrible start– that the Dallas Cowboys would be atop the NFC East; with a record of 8-4, and a two game lead over the nearest competition? Who could’ve imagined that this coming Sunday they’d be playing another 8-4 NFC team; and that […]

Blog Trends: November 06

The craziness of the election caused me to neglect my usual summary of the “most-read blogs” these past few month. But as life returns to normal, so does this regular blog feature.

Fruit Pies and Pencil Lead: A Thanksgiving Meditation

Adapted from a sermon at Northaven Church, delivered this morning…EF Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We had an incredibly restful one around here. We decided to stay here at home, just the three of us. We still did up the whole turkey/dressing/meal thing. It was wonderfully peaceful. Not that we don’t love our […]
