Give a Gift to Your Relationship
My early morning jog seemed colder than normal. I felt chilled to the bone, so I stayed in the hot shower a bit longer than usual. I had almost exhausted the hot water supply when I finally turned off the taps. Through the curtains my husband handed me a towel. As I wrapped the fresh [...] Read More >

It happened in the fifteenth century when Galileo argued that the earth was round. It happened in the eighteenth century when upstarts in North America decided they wanted to govern themselves.

Is Racism Natural?
There was a video on CNN yesterday that stopped me in my tracks. It wasn’t footage from Thailand, or election coverage.

Seeking 9/11 Reconciliation
When both US president Barack Obama and Catholic Pope Benedict XVI advise you that your plans are a bad idea, that’s usually a good sign that you should think twice about what you’re doing. Terry Jones would be well advised to listen to their advice. His tiny 30 member group, ironically named the “Dove World [...] Read More >
Thanks, But No
It’s hard to resist the siren call of a friend request on Facebook. Sure it’s a little childish, but who doesn’t want the world to know they have one more friend? It’s harmless enough until you realize you’d rather not have the guy who teased you mercilessly in grade 8 looking at your family’s beach [...] Read More >
