Magic
What is good about having a pet? Our cat is magic. I have never been good with pets but she and I get along fabulously. I give her treats and play with her. She’s gotten chubby since we rescued her. When she whines for food it makes me think about what I’ve eaten and whether…

Dancing Shoes
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)? When I was in my twenties I found a pair of black dress shoes. I don’t remember exactly where, but I think I found them rather than buying them or getting them as a gift. They were a little worn at the time. They were also…

Computers
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). I suspect the most money I’ve ever spent is on one of my personal computers. Speed and memory cost a lot.

A Plate and a Presidency
I slept in today because I do not have Walgreens for a few days. I need to eat but I can’t have my preferred snack because we are out of paper plates upon which to cook it. Had I woken up earlier my wife would have been able to run and get them earlier. As…

First Snow
It is snowing for the first time this season in south central Wisconsin. It’s not sticking to the sidewalks or the roads, but all our foliage is covered in white. Winter is coming I just wish it wasn’t coming so fast. But this area is home. It has been good for my kids. The air…

Poverty Thinking
There is a very pervasive myth that poor people are better than rich people. The idea is that the poor are more generous, more honest, and more decent. Poverty is in this sense being praised. In Traditional Christianity this sentiment is overt. Rich people can’t enter heaven. Give everything you have away to feed the…
