You could call this one ‘For the birds’, just like my street

The neighborhood that my wife and I have called home since the turn of the century is known colloquially as Birdland. This is because all the streets are named after, well, birds. No hidden agenda there; I mean, we live on Cardinal and when we...

Do you want to know the secret to loving God more?

Have you wished that you loved God more? Maybe you really want to, but that love just doesn't come. You may be frustrated because you don't know how to do it, then guilt overtakes you and you feel like a horrible Christian. You might speak from your...

A less-than-glamorous life isn’t so bad

I’m no Martha Stewart. It became abundantly clear when I compared my calendar with the one Martha publishes in her eponymous Living magazine. I’ll admit I enjoy the magazine. It’s full of great ideas for the home and garden and recipes like...

Squirrel hunters: ‘Moby Dick’ crazy or normal people?

When I sit down and watch the Outdoor Channel with my dad—which I have done on a semi-regular basis in the past—I never see squirrel hunters. The staples include guys on little speedboats, motoring down a twisting river with three or four...

The places he’s gone, and the people he’s befriended

There can be no mistake about it. I enjoy meeting new people. There’s nothing wrong with the guys and gals I already know. I like them, too, and the stories and friendships we share. Of course, I love my family. They mean the world to me. I hope...

Take time for a culinary education

I treasure my culinary education, such as it is. I am largely self-taught; the weak point in this scenario, is, of course, the teacher. Through an eye-opening trip to Europe many years ago, and devouring dozens of excellent books, along with...

You can learn a little something by playing outside
