The more serious the temptation…. the less we admit to it.

The more serious the temptation, the less we admit to it.  Ten years ago, Barna released a survey exploring the new realm of temptations. Sure, that loaf of bread we want or the dessert we gave up for Lent still calls our name, but temptations ...

It was the best of times . . .

Remember that quote from A Tale of Two Cities? (Actually, I didn’t. I had no clue where it came from; I’ve just always heard ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.’) And I’ve always known that to be true. Have you ever ...

Managing Your Junk

  Do you ever have a tendency to lose things? You know you "once had it" but you haven't seen it in quite some time, so it's easier to consider it lost than to go digging around for it. Especially if the places we need to go digging ...

Leave it!

Tom and I recently adopted a dog named Mitzi from the Humane Society. We’ve known we wanted a German Shepherd dog friend for Axel for a while, but a puppy was not on our radar. Until a friend who volunteers at the shelter sent me a picture ...

The Pit in Our Stomachs Tells us something!

What gives you that pit in your stomach? That feeling of knowing that SOMETHING is wrong and the odds are that you've caused it! There is either something that you should NOT have done or . . . . there was something you were supposed to do, ...

The Cross Levels Us

The cross levels us. No, it doesn’t “knock us down,” . . . but it levels us. It makes us all equal. And today, we all stand getting a glimpse of the cross. It’s off in the distance, not really looming upon us (yet), but it is still ...

There’s no way this makes sense…

I was driving home from the office yesterday and noticed a unique decal on the back of a truck's window diagonally in front of me. I could tell it was supposed to spell out something because one of the letters looked like a "V," . . . but ...

The countless hours of practice and intentionality… In all aspects of our lives.

I started taking piano at 4 years old. My fingers honestly weren’t big enough to learn to play, but I wanted to so badly that my family gave in, got me a teacher, and the hell began. It looked so fun at first, one’s fingers moving across the ...

The Mystic and our pathway…do they intersect?

Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting with a colleague from Savannah. (Which is why the e-news is later today, the weather was atrocious so I ended up stopping/staying on the drive back). Jesuit Fr. Karl Rahner said, "If Western ...

The Power of the Mickey Mouse and the fear of leaving something often keeps us from moving forward.

When our children were 2 and 4, we decided we would take them to Disney World. The rule was they had to be potty trained, and we wanted to take them before we had to pay the full price. The memories of the trip remind me that overall it went ...

Do you own an atlas?

Do we need an atlas anymore? Recently walking through Walmart, I noticed an atlas on an endcap. I’d forgotten those even existed. Then, a few weeks later, I saw an idea for Soul Creations using maps. You choose various cities off an ...

How much can you possibly sleep…when you finally get back home?

When my son went to college and would come home for various breaks, it was inevitable that he would sleep an inordinate amount of hours. At first, it was a little frustrating because I scheduled time to be off from work so we could hang out ...
