An Old Priest
Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life. When I was in the phase of my life that I did the most soul searching I was friends with an Episcopal priest. I shared with him my spiritual yearnings and the things I was writing at the time. He was always…

Freedom to Think
What does freedom mean to you? I’ve been discussing Victor Frankl with my wife Stephanie and we’ve been arguing over what it means to be free. I hate to admit it but she’s more libertarian these days than I am. She sees only a very broad definition of freedom as freedom at all. This is…

Hard Dirty Jobs
What’s a job you would like to do for just one day? I’m probably kind of old to be an oil rigger, or a deep sea fisherman, or a lumberjack. Even in my prime I don’t imagine I could have done any of those jobs very well. I’m just not that tough. But if I…
