A Knock at the Door: Reflections on Fear, Faith, and the World Today
So, yesterday, I had a thought, after a brief encounter at the front door of my home. Two slightly older women showed up at my front door.

Hurricane Irene, What I Missed, What I Didn’t, and What I Learned.
Admittedly, I missed the “center” of Hurricane Irene. Rather, I missed the heart of the storm. I made my way west to Pennsylvania, not to bug out, but to a good friends bachelor party. The upside is that I was going to be west of Irene. The downside, if there is one, is that (in […]
