Dragging Monday
Long day in Detroit yesterday. Jack and Michael had a great time, but I'm
dragging today. There will be no ordinary posting, though I do have an article
of sorts that you might enjoy. I'll post it presently.

Something for Sunday Morning
Jesus does not expect us to be strong but weak. In our weakness His power
reaches perfection (2 Cor 12:9). He does not expect us to be independent and
self-sufficient, but rather childlike (Mt 18:3). We don't need will-power, just
willingness. He'll
The Weekend Eudemon
It's an interesting weekend. We have six house guests. Marie's brother and wife
and four sons are down for a wedding at Notre Dame. We live about 55 minutes
from campus, so they're staying with us. I drank too much wine last night

A Sane Jewish Sentiment About Christmas
I saw this kind of thinking get air time last December, but it's nice to see it
again:

their own version of the Spanish Inquisition, forcing Christians to
The Brewing Eudemon
Dignity will fall. Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record, and he did it
with class. Now, Barry Bonds will break it. He has re-signed with the Giants

Thursday Trifles
Things will be brief this morning. One of my evenings freed up, so I took the
four oldest children to see The Nativity Story. I liked it. It dragged a little
in the middle, but it brought together three strands--Mary/Joseph, Herod, and
the three wise men--in a
The Wednesday Eudemon
More troubles with Sears. Remember my statement yesterday: "The smart money,
incidentally, says he doesn't show up with the necessary part"? Well, that's
what happened. My wife waited at home from 8:00 until 3:30. The fix-it guy
showed up and said
The Suspended Eudemon
I like Sears. I've never read about them donating to gay rights groups or doing
anything else objectionable. But I don't like their service. Awhile back, I
bought an elliptical exercise machine from them. Constant problems for the first
month. Those finally got fixed and it
The Moanin' Eudemon
Harsh college football weekend. Congratulations to Florida, but shame on the BCS
voters who had no intention of letting UM play for the national championship
three weeks ago when they voted them number 2. Does anyone really think Florida
would've moved ahead of Michigan, if USC hadn'
Something for Sunday Morning
> We must guard against that attitude of spiritual pride that makes us say, "What
I do not feel I do not need." We must allow for the possibility that our
feelings may be unreliable and therefore we must honestly strive to correct
them. Yearning for God is
