A place to put some thoughts
For more than a decade, I maintained a blog filled with faith-related columns I wrote for a local newspaper, posting them mostly so my mother-in-law could read them.

Crisis mode
Ice. So much ice. Downed trees everywhere. Impassable roads, driveways, paths. House roofs groaning under the weight of an 80-foot trunk. Windows smashed by limbs. Sheds crushed. Hours and days of branches snapping and crashing and exploding like gunshots in the woods. Power poles snapped in half and leaning at crazy angles. Power lines drooping
I maintain a mailing list of folks who have told me they want to know when I post something new. I’d be happy to add you to the list, if you’re interested. Throw your email address in the box below and I’ll get you added.
