Cheese and Crackers
There is a story toId concerning a lone religious pilgrim with a staff, a cowl, a long beard and a haggard look. Stopped at a fork in the road, the religious seeker faces a sign. One arrow points toward "The meaning of life." Another arrow points in the opposite direction toward "Cheese and crackers." Thomas H. Troeger, from the "Body" issue of The Living Pulpit, April-June 2006 says the following: If that pilgrim believes in the Incarnation, he will not hesitate for a second
So What Did You Do on Your Summer Vacation?
Do you remember that first writing project you usually got from your teacher when you returned to school in the Fall? I can't recall how many times, I had to address the question in the title of my article when I was a kid returning to school. I don't know about you, but it was tempting to use the same story as last time I had to do this monotonous task so I could save myself some valuable "free time," and hope that one of my classmates wouldn't "rat me out." Most of the time

So Running Builds Character? What if You are Allergic to Running?
I was reading an article recently about someone who wrote about a person who ran a marathon and their thoughts on doing such a demanding thing. Denise Helm in her writing, "Why run if it hurts," said this, "Would a marathon be as delicious, or delirious to finish, if it was easy? Of course not." She continues, "As [marathon runner Chris] Kelly says: Running builds character because it is difficult, and because many of the virtues can neither be exhibited nor developed in the
Sticks and Stones
As a kid my Mom and other well meaning adults said to me that phrase that many of you may remember, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me." They thought this would help me to deal with the bullies of my childhood. Yeah, words hurt then and still do now.
