My Boy’s a Fighter
Sunday, February 13th, 2005So I’m in the mountains for some R&R, when I started getting funny vibes. Saturday, Diana and I agreed that I would call her at her sister’s house in Mass at 9:30 to say goodnight and pray with our son. When I called, Di’s sister Tara said she went for a drive. Judah wasn’t too [...]
Things We
Monday, January 31st, 2005If you didn’t see it on Saturday, catch a repeat of “Michael Jackson’s Secret Childhood” on VH1. Yes, the show feels tabloid-ish and sensational. But whatever exagerations may have been presented on the margins, the undisputed facts about Michael’s childhood are what they are: being forced to perform in strip clubs as a boy; witnessing [...]
“I Love This, I Love This”
Monday, January 31st, 2005So screamed Judah after sleigh-riding down Owl’s Head hill last night. The shear delight of his little voice combined with the excitement in his eyes makes fatherhood the greatest joy in the world. Unfortunately, two runs later Judah plowed into another little guy about his age and felt embarassed — not to mention afraid and [...]
Underwater Aliens
Monday, January 31st, 2005My son asked yesterday if we can go to the aquarium this summer. “Of course,” I said, but I’m also showing him a preview online at Time’s Aliens of the Deep. God has such a sense of humor. Could he have created animals to look any more bizarre than these?
Out of the Mouths of Babes
Thursday, January 20th, 2005This is not a joke. When my son showed it to me this evening, I was blown away. You may recall that Judah turned 4 earlier this month. Four. That makes him three weeks older than three. A few months back Judah got obsessed with spelling words. He wanted to know how to spell just [...]
Things We Don’t Talk About
Tuesday, January 18th, 2005Eric’s story is far more common than we care to admit. One in three girls and one in six boys are sexually abused in childhood, and twenty percent of women have had at least one incestuous experience before 18. Given these and other realities, what happens when God answers our prayers and His word, sharper [...]
Will the Real Men Please Stand Up?
Monday, January 17th, 2005My last shout-out of the evening in honor of MLK comes from the son of a civil rights radical, who ironically suffered a similar fate as Dr. King (although for apparently different reasons). The late Tupac Shakur, son of Afeni Shakur of the Black Panther Party, grew up never knowing his father. According to his [...]
2004′s Xcel Top Ten
Monday, January 3rd, 2005[Sorry, these are not funny. Nor are they listed in any particular order. For more on Generation Xcel, visit here.] 1. Replicating “by youth for youth” as ten teens co-founded Xpress, our second after school program in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. 2. Graduating the inaugural class of 18 XL Service Corps members from Boot Camp, [...]
A Hero in Thailand: The YW8? (Why Wait?) Generation
Monday, January 3rd, 2005Saturday’s New York Post published an inspiring article about a 10 year old vacationer-turned-hero during the tsunami in Phuket, Thailand. January 1, 2005 — PHUKET, Thailand – Quick-thinking 10-year-old Tilly Smith is being hailed as a hero after saving her parents and dozens of fellow vacationers from the deadly tsunami – thanks to a school [...]
