In the world of theater Mondays are “dark,” which means that the lights are off because there’s no show.
Somehow I’ve gotten into my being the idea that the week between Christmas and New Years is a holy, sacred, “dark” time. Not dark in an evil sense, but dark in an incubative sense. It’s a time [...]
sleeping in a walking cast is not as easy or comfortable as it sounds. First, you have to figure out a way not to put all that salt, dirt, mud, etc on the thing into your bed! I’m using a pillowcase. Then, you have to get it in there before you pull up the nice [...]

When Christmas Morn is Dawning 2005
It’s Christmas morn. Before the sun is up – at least when I started writing this. I’m on the couch and the door is open for the X to come in with stocking presents and to have Christmas breakfast with the boys.

is a clean house.
Clean in the corners.
Clean in the closets.
Clean under the radiators.

Just a clean start.
I swear I’ll keep up with it, this time.

Prayer for the woman who called 2005
Good and gracious God,
She wouldn’t tell me her name but you know who she is. She sounds distressed. Be with her in her distress. Comfort her. She wanted to be assured that Pastor Jeff’s leaving didn’t have anything to do with children. Calm her fears and worries about her children. It sounded like she was [...]
