J Walking

…a ‘sabbath’ – a day to rest and not do emails and surf the web and make breakfast (and dinner) and definitely not stick my head into Livvy’s bathwater. Tomorrow – Sen. Obama’s announcement, the conservative Christian’s growing political dilemma in 2008 and hopes for a blizzard (all separately).

…this is not written in any ‘how to’ book that I know of…. No one has ever told me not to do it. And so, last night, when I was giving Livvy, our (almost) 20-month-old, a bath, the thought hit me that she might like it if I dunked my head in the bathtub. So…

A powerful thought from a reader: So there are parentless children all over the world who need homes and they’re going to start paying women to have children? How does that make sense? The latest numbers are more than 10 million children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Africa…

I stumbled across a Nike ad I’d never seen before: After watching it a dozen times and wondering why I loved it – beyond the joy and beauty of it – I settled on this. That we are like those kids on the playground running around trying to emulate our King. And while we fail…

It may be that I will have to eat crow on this one but I still maintain that grassroots evangelicals aren’t going to support Gov. Romney because of his Mormon faith. A New York Times article suggests he is making headway among evangelical political leaders but I still think this is the most important part…

Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) reports on “The Abortion War Abroad,” and optimistically highlights pro-life changes: This spring, Poland will decide whether to amend the constitution to ban the practice altogether. In Paris last month, thousands marched to ban abortions outright. And last year Italy placed import restrictions on RU-486, commonly known as “the…

I want to be like Mike. For years that has meant being like this guy: Now, I love that guy. No one who ever played the game was better. But I don’t want to be like him. I want to be like Mike Oliver. Mike is my 60-something neighbor. He looks like Santa Claus –…

I went for a walk last night. It was late and most of the world was asleep. But a surprise little snowstorm was passing through and since snow has been rare around here of late, I went out into it with my beloved Sam (my newfoundland dog). What greeted me was an unspoiled blanket of…

Like most everyone else, there have been dark times in my life when I’ve felt like God was nowhere to be found. It didn’t dawn on me till later on that those times might have been times of depression. Today’s Beliefnet piece on praying through depression would have helped a lot during those times. It…

I read an article over the weekend that is still making me feel ill. It is about Iraq and the cost of the war. I can’t get it out of my mind. I was in the White House on the day the president landed on the aircraft carrier and spoke with the “Mission Accomplished” sign…
