Monday, April 11th, 2005It was just a month and a half ago that we celebrated Diana’s grandmother’s 80th birthday with a surprise party (pics here). A few days before Easter, Nonna began feeling ill, and she visited her doctor a couple of days after the holiday. The doctor found evidence of a possible mass on her liver. Last [...]

Why not fruit salad?
Friday, April 8th, 2005A youth ministry friend of mine has become something of a muse for me recently. He inspired this article last month, and now this post after a series of emails about the nature of partnerships. He made a great point about how difficult it is to prioritize working with groups whose missions contrast with our [...]

… for “One Shining Moment,” CBS Sports’ annual tribute to college basketball’s March Madness. The drama. Energy. Emotion. Great job again last night. And that Luther Vandross sure can sing. (Will we ever hear him sing live again? Where is he in his recovery?) As for the game, congratulations, North Carolina, on a classic victory, [...]
Their Sox are Red with blood
Monday, April 4th, 2005(And it’s not Curt Schilling’s!) On opening day of the 2005 baseball season, the Yanks reminded Boston why they lead the championship race 26-1 since 1918. “Let’s go, Yankees.”
A journey or a destination?
Monday, April 4th, 2005Jesus invited the disciples to, “Come, follow me.” He never really said where, just spoke vaguely about the Kingdom of Heaven. God told Abraham to leave Ur and “Go,” but, again, refused to say where exactly. Moses followed a cloud by day and pillar of fire by night, but after 400 years of Egyptian slavery, [...]
