Last week I was watching my youngest in his [...]
I’d never heard of Frank Schaeffer until I listened to Terri Gross interview him on Fresh Air. Schaeffer has chosen to stick with religion–he left fundamental Born Again-ism in favor of the Greek Orthodox Church–but is surprisingly honest about his respect for atheism and his admission that his inclination for faith could very well [...]
I saw this on one of my Facebook friend’s wall–I just wish I knew where it came from so I could link the source. It’s quite funny/sad when you think about it…

I’ve been holding onto it for many many months now. Should I tell it to you on the last day of 2006? Or the first day of 2007?

We’re in Kansas City visiting my parents and siblings! We’re having so much fun! Yesterday we went away to some farm areas where my parents have some gorgeous hilly property away from civilization. We took turns riding [...]
There is a drawback to having a child who is bright and creative and comes up with spelling-word sentences like, “I will not accept an excuse from someone who believes in antidisestablishmentarianism.”
