Prejudice 2
Confession: I think we are prejudiced against homosexuals in the Christian community. I don’t intend to preach to the choir, delving into the ethics of this lifestyle. I and at least 99.999% of my readers will agree that Jesus designed a woman for a man, a man for a woman. Homosexuality cuts across his design,
Prejudice
Talking of politics brings me to another point. Question: Are we in the Christian community prejudiced against homosexuals, or are we not? I am going to hold my thoughts on the subject until tomorrow so that you may think in peace. I’m not asking about the validity of homosexuality as a moral choice, but about

Confession: Unmonitored fridge phonics have their downside. Here are two things in which my son Regan is interested. School and diarrhea. Oh dear. Speaking of diarrhea, what do you think of the election rhetoric? Ryan and I listened to part of a presidential speech last evening, and talked late on the matter. I think Mr.

Peasant games
Confession: I am confused about how nonresistance plays itself out in games. I used to scold Someone I knew for enjoying computer games of conquest and domination (Civilization, Age of Empires) until Someone took me to task for enjoying board games like Battleship. And what about chess? said Someone. Excuse me? I said. What about
New reads
Confession: I love kids’ books even more than my kids do. In Regan’s words, “we pwobbly have more children’s books than big girl’s books.” You may have noticed my new “Kids’ Books” page, a list of what my children are reading. Enjoy it as a resource, if you wish, but don’t feel pressure to read

Husband takes Wife to Red Lobster. This is a rare and special gift, just they two and all the cheddar bay biscuits they can eat. Amid the fish and the shrimp, the magnificent baked potato and the fresh Caesar salad, the lemon and the garlic and the fizz, Wife glances out the window past the
