But there aren’t any beaches…
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
Four years ago I lived south of Boston, two blocks from the beach. I was single, worked at a Christian school, and coached volleyball. I was happy. In May, 2006 I got a call from a man in Kansas City I had met a few months earlier. He worked at a publishing house and remembered [...]

Yes, No, and Speaking Your Mind
Thursday, July 8th, 2010
I grew up just south of Boston, which means there was a Dunkin Donuts on every corner (why do you think my dog’s name is Dunkin), it took 20 minutes to drive 2 miles, people didn’t talk to each other in the grocery stores, and everyone spoke their minds. Where I lived, people didn’t hold [...]

In all things, charity.” It seems increasingly common for church communities and denominations to get caught up in the differences–the disagreements they have with one another. (Bruce wrote about this a few weeks ago here.) And more often than not, [...]

Super Good Day
Thursday, May 13th, 2010
I’m in a book club, sort of. I’m kind of a slacker member and I participate when they select a book that peaks my interest. This month’s selection is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. I decided to participate. The story is told through the eyes of an autistic boy, Christopher, who [...]

Restorative Justice
Thursday, April 29th, 2010
“Restorative justice restores the oppressed as well as the oppressor.” -Shane Claiborne I just got back from the Sustainable Faith Conference in St. Petersburg, Florida. This weekend was one of the most transforming times in my life. I am still unpacking most of what I heard and experienced at the conference, but I wanted to [...]
