Here’s today’s dispatch from the crossroads of faith, media and culture. Nothing quite compares to a well-written letter. Or script for that matter.

Here’s today’s dispatch from the crossroads of faith, media and culture. Murder, She Wrote. Talking with Carol Higgins Clark you’d never think that she quite likely was in the process of plotting a murder. She really is as pleasant a person as I’ve ever interviewed. She has a lighthearted, even joyful, demeanor that no doubt…

Here’s today’s dispatch from the crossroads of faith, media and culture. Shining Star.
