“When I became a man”
Monday, May 9th, 2005Note to readers: This post starts rambling at the end and needs to be edited. Feel free to peruse it in its unfinished state or come back later for a bit more refinement. ——— Friday I fired off a quick post about needing prayer. Thanks to those who prayed. Today was an interesting day. Long [...]
The manifold wisdom of God
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005“His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known … according to his eternal purpose …” (Ephesians 3:10-11) What a colorful concept, the “manifold” wisdom of God. I always imagined a sheet of paper folded many times into a tiny fraction of its former size, getting unfolded [...]
Bittersweet
Monday, April 18th, 2005Today is bittersweet for the Vecchione clan. Nonna is being released from the hospital after surviving several life scares last week — the good news. But she returns home with a pancreatic cancer diagnosis and the textbook prognosis of 0-6 months to live. The impact of the news gripped me last Thursday. Hearing the MercyMe [...]
There’s no resurrection without the cross
Saturday, March 26th, 2005This weekend can make a person reflective. Christians the world over commemorate Good Friday and celebrate Resurrection Sunday, but what about the day in between? Although it gets no play in our modern traditions, I’ve often wondered about the first “Holy Saturday.” I can’t imagine the torrent of emotions — fear, anger, grief, self-doubt — [...]
For all Valentine’s Day romantics
Monday, February 14th, 2005“One advantage of marriage, it seems to me, is that when you fall out of love with him, or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until maybe you fall in again.” – Judith Viorst “Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.” – Robert Browning
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 [...]
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, [...]
Have I mentioned yet how much I love my son?
Friday, December 31st, 2004Judah turns four in two days! It was exactly four years ago tonight that he began his journey beyond the womb in one of the most memorable and exhilarating two days of my life. Diana’s due date was January 8 (or 10? I don’t remember exactly), but I wanted a New Year’s Baby. Not because [...]
