The past week, however, seems to still to be a roller coaster of sorts. From learning of some significant health issues to the typical dramatic flair that too oftenContinue reading “Learning Albeit Slowly”

A Requiem
Hello on a cold December morning, The weekend was a difficult one, both personally and societally. The country and the world is aghast at the loss of life from those who lost their loved ones or are praying for the recovery of others on an Ivy League campus or a country immediately responding to strengthenContinue reading “A Requiem”
Colorless Christianity
Hello from my small, but tranquil corner, As I ponder the reality of Advent and its implications for faith, as I reflect on the spirit of Christmas, I like many want to focus on the simplicity of the season, even when everything around me seems anything but.

Real or Memorex
Hello on a Friday evening, It’s a chilly December evening, typical of the penetrating Pennsylvania cold, which I always say is worse than Wisconsin cold.

Why am I Fascinated?
Hello from Main Street, I am back in the only official town in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the place where I first moved in the late summer of 2009.
