May I ask you some personal questions, friend to friend? How is sin affecting your perception of God’s love for you? How is your sin affecting your Christian journey? And now another: Why is it so easy to see and judge others for missing the mark while glossing over our own missteps? When we downplay…
A highway sign tells me to merge because my lane is ending. As soon as possible, I do. Then, where the lane ends, I see that several drivers who were behind me before I merged are stuck. I see their blinkers, but I refuse to let them in. I merged on time. I have the…
How devastating would it be if you discovered you’d accidentally recorded a conversation with your spouse, child or neighbor that didn’t show you at your best?

“We just closed on our million-dollar home. Our children will be going to the best schools in the country, of course …” I’ve never heard anyone say these exact words, but we’ve all heard similar remarks, especially at family or class reunions.

In her will Lois Swoboda wrote that she did not want an obituary. To honor her wish, the Times had none. She did love Letters to Santa, though. Each of the several years we worked together at the Times, she typed her share and more in the week leading up to Christmas, grabbing amply from…

Say that word and everyone knows who you mean—Mark, Merrel, and Michael, born two years apart. Older members call them…
Michael J. Brooks | Guest Columnist It was a story from “The New York Post” last spring that I pondered and saved. The headline proclaimed, “City removes last-standing public payphone from NYC street.” The accompanying picture showed the removal of a telephone counter, not the old-fashioned telephone booth in which Superman changed clothes. It used…
I normally don’t use this space for writing book reviews, but there is one that has really been working on my heart lately: “The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness” by Timothy Keller. It’s short enough to read in about an hour or two. Because of this book, I’ve been doing a lot of self reflection and trying…
