The Power of Choice
Several years ago, after another weekend of squeezing in too many activities, my family decided to stop overbooking ourselves.
Loaves and Fishes
A friend tells a story of being a little boy and having an ice cream cone in the back of the old family Cadillac on a hot summer day.
Make an Impact
As one does, I found myself discussing ‘the best rappers ever’ with my 13-year-old on the way home the other day.
Extra-Ordinary Love
On this Feast of the Epiphany, a day marked by an exceptional act of adoration, I wonder how we mark our ordinary days together? What are our everyday habits? What lengths do we go to honor the ordinary goodness in our lives?
Marking Milestones on Feast of the Holy Name
We mark today as a new beginning. We have left 2023 and are launching into 2024, likely with an abundance of intentions, feelings, and hopefully… hope.
Beautiful Blue Christmas
I have long loved Darryl Worley’s song ‘Awful Beautiful Life’ that’s linked above. It came out around the time I graduated from college and it reminds me that life is crazy, tragic, and magic.
The Case for All Souls Day
I believe that the observance of All Souls Day is crucial.
The Power of Presence
The hero’s journey predates even our earliest holy scriptures.
Extended Family
As it turns out, Uncle Ed Sheeran and Auntie Taylor Swift only feel like family, but they have a powerful influence over our growing children, much more so than the family we only get to see and visit at holidays.
