My mother-in-law is a ‘keeper’

There was a time when I wouldn’t have said that under my breath in a howling wind storm, but now I am willing to volunteer it in print. Thank you, Annie, for the gift of your youngest daughter and for meeting me half-way. Romance on a Global Stage: Pen Pals, Virtual Ethnography, and "Mail [...]

Those DentalPlan.com ads …

I just noticed that a banner ad from DentalPlans.com is appearing on this site. This is a good thing. As of a few days ago, on the advice of a dental tech., I went there and signed on with a plan called Dentemax. If I’d known about the ads, I’d have clicked through from here [...]

Seeking similar minds

Can you recommend another blog or web site I should be following? I already follow (and recommend) Sheep and Goats. From time to time I comment there and occasionally you will find Tom commenting here, as well. We’ve exchanged emails “behind the curtains” and he seems like a genuinely likeable Brother.

The sin of humility

Humility among men, it seems, is generally most highly valued among those of modest accomplishment. But is this idea scripturally sound?

Such an abomination is totally unsupported by scripture. One of the best [...]

Miep Gies dies

While the world holds its breath for Clintons’ stents and worries about whether it will rain instead of snow for the winter Olympics in Vancouver, a true heroine passed away on Monday. She was a quiet sort of woman. All she did that was exceptional was hand the Nazi’s a daily defeat. What she did took [...]

Dear young person

This year, as every year, many young folk are faced with filing their income taxes for the very first time. Some will get no help from others in their family. This post is addressed [...]
