My husband, John, and I come from a long line of peasant stock, hellbent do-it-yourselfers, who don’t put a price on our time but feel all the richer for our experiences, skills earned, pennies saved, materials reused and reimagined, and wheels reinvented. No time is wasted DIYing project until money is wasted on buying something new. But it takes a certain mindset to value the homemade and jerry-rigged over shiny new things. Plus, we have had to tolerate some hurtful l...

Will Republican inquisitors undermine the FBI and other security agencies? Will the Pentagon have enough ships and planes once the budget slashers do their work? Will Ukraine be left to the mercy of Russia? Don't worry too much about any nefarious schemes of a newly empowered congressional right. Worry more about plans standard-issue R...
Dear Most Wonderful, Most Precious, Beautiful and Intelligent Beyond Compare, My Loving Son and Daughter, I am writing to let you know that it is time for you to put your heads together and figure out a plan for elder care.

Came back inside to the odor of hot metal and burned butter. Fortunately, the pan did...

All this week we have reflected on how to learn to live and act justly, how acting justly is in accord with God's will for us, how Jesus modeled living a just life, how living lives...
You know, Lord, it's only a few days into the New Year and how fun to snuggle under a nice thick blanket in my quiet-time chair, looking forward to these silent moments with You, Lord, in the wee hours of a, so far, untouched year. The fireplace dances a gentle glow into the room's darkness. In the dim light, shelves filled with photos, books, mementos and other things, are reminders of an abundant life. Sitting now with You, Lord, it's interesting to review the year that has...
