Choosing Love for Eternity
Years ago when I was still in university, I was sitting in my friend's room, idly staring at one of the posters hanging on her wall. The poster contained many quotations about love. Most of the "love quotes" were pretty cringe-worthy and hardly memorable.
But one of them caught my attention. Years later I read it again, the second time... >Read More

How "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Almost Wasn't
Even if you've seen the classic Charlie Brown Christmas Special a dozen times, you may be unaware of its turbulent history. Molly Hartman describes the show's modest beginnings in her article about the popular cartoon's history:
The basics of the cartoon were laid out within a few hours. It would include ice-skating; a pageant (Mendelson and Schulz...... >Read More

Making a List
I recommend making a list. I’m not talking about Santa’s list of naughty and nice. The list I’m referring to is a friendship list.
Yesterday I had a great conversation with an old friend. Although I have many years on her, she’s an ‘old friend’ because our friendship is an old one. Years old. We’ve enjoyed many conversations,...... >Read More

Involving your Friends in Christmas
Christmas is one of the few times when it's okay to talk about Jesus in secular, politically correct society. At least, it's seen as being less offensive than the rest of the year. But how can Christians involve non-Christians in their Christmas celebrations without being dismissed as "preachy" but still being faithful to the truth and the imperative...... >Read More

Loud and Clear
Yesterday, as I was dropping my daughter off at the local high school we had a rather startling conversation about marital commitment. We had been talking about one of her friends whose parents had just separated. The transition had been tough on her friend. Separation, strained living situations and the drama surrounding the family was supplanting...... >Read More

In Remembrance
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
