Six months after Nashville, a follow-up report

Enter the classroom to teach, exit with stories to remember

Waves, flags, shells—and the open hand of God

Who doesn’t need a well-furnished room for reflection?

The story of one school shooting, measured in moments

On practicing resurrection

Books open up our lives—to ourselves, and to one another

Love bears all things. Sometimes that’s a heavy load.

The past finds us. The lights come on.

Sometimes little boys cry wolf. Sometimes they become wolves, too.

Exactly how far can one page take you?

Close calls, near misses—and a state of gratitude

A survival guide for middle schoolers—and their parents, too

Their presence changes us. So does their absence.

It’s never just a building that goes up in smoke

Violence at school isn’t new. So what is?

Sometimes reality requires an explosion

How do we discern the plot of life?

Independence has its place. Dependence has a bigger one. 

Does loving our neighbor require us to love our neighborhood as well?
