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?

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."
