    Like everybody else, I face problems almost every day. Or maybe I should say, my problem faces me. Every Monday, when I get up, I say to myself, “How many problems will I have this week?

    THE BODY REACHING OUT When I was in seminary and I moved into the dormitory, I went to the largest church in Fort Worth at the time.

    For many of us, our New Years resolutions seem to resemble carbon dating – where we can establish the date of our resolution by how many “half lives” it has had. Here are some examples: 2003: I will read at least 10 books a year. 2004: I will read 5 books a year. 2005: I will finish Portals of ...read more
