It happened almost exactly as I hoped it would. At just after 11:00 pm on Monday, April 19, I got the call from my mom—my sister was in labor. An hour later, with a suitcase full of clothes I don’t remember packing, I hurried into my car and drove nine hours to Carmel, Indiana, high [...]

The Second Commandment (Experiment)
Thursday, April 15th, 2010
Remember that passage in the Gospels in which Jesus is put to the test? “’What’s the greatest commandment in the Law?’” they ask, with an obviously condescending tone. His first answer is this: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” I’m not a [...]

God Has Answered
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010
No. More. Snow. Longer days. Running (outside) weather. Thunderstorms. Easter. One season closer to the return of football. I could go on and on regarding why I welcome spring each year.

To say it shortly, this film has affected me. By Hollywood’s standards, Once’s budget was essentially nonexistent. Absent [...]

Returning to the Playground
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
“That’s a lot of purple,” I heard from the backseat of my car. I glanced across the street and saw an overweight young woman wearing the purple in question. And I cringed, both at the unfeeling comment that had been made as well as at the laughter that erupted in the backseat at the expense [...]

A Valentine’s Day 180
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
I no longer believe Valentine’s Day is the most pointless of all holidays. The obvious answer for why I’ve changed my mind is that I had a valentine this year for the first time in several years. But I’d like to think that my being in a relationship isn’t the only reason for this change. [...]
