And I thought MY family was complicated
I spent a chunk of time this past weekend hashing out family history. Who was born when, who married whom, how many children did they have, when did they die . . . and so on. It's tricky stuff. But here's the fun part. I've invented every bit of it. I've been sorting...
God's Plan is NOW
On Wednesday I wrote about waiting. Something few of us enjoy. I want to emphasize, however, that waiting doesn't mean not doing. I hear so many Christians talk about God's plan for their lives. And often, they're talking about waiting for that plan to be revealed to...
Making Things Better–Oops, Worse
I don't much like stinging insects. And let me just say, "They started it." I had a mostly live-and-let-live attitude until I developed a sudden allergy ten years ago and some yellow jackets tried to kill me. Now I have a them-or-me attitude and, well, I'm hoping it's...

And That Ain't No Lie!
In the long list of unusual things scientists study, you can now include the effects of lying on your physical and mental health. Turns out people who lie less are healthier. It's not quite as obvious as, say, the University of NC School of Public Health research that...
Bookmobiles!
Remember the bookmobile? We had a tiny library at my grade school that didn't offer much variety. So, every few weeks the bookmobile would come by and we could go out in small groups to choose books. Heaven. The bookmobile had an aisle down the middle and books from...
