Letters to the Lord: Harvard and Home Again
We landed on French soil this past Sunday. And it felt like coming home. In the past 21 months, we’ve only spent six weeks in our adopted country. We’ve, of course, been deep down grateful for extended time in the States to celebrate and to grieve with our beloved family. But we’ve missed France. The … Read More Letters to the Lord: Harvard and Home Again
Letters to the Lord: Wherewithal
A new word has crept into my vocabulary during these past few months: wherewithal. I mean, I knew the word before, but lately I’ve found myself using it on a regular basis, as in: “Lord, I just don’t have the wherewithal to…” I suppose it’s the negative form of what I think life since Covid … Read More Letters to the Lord: Wherewithal

Letters to the Lord: A Sonnet for the In-Between
The sky was blue before and now it’s gray And rain has wet the grass, seeped through the soil And hope is held in hiatus this day As, numb, we contemplate our Savior’s toil. I wonder, were the soldiers not afraid When Peter took a sword and sliced an ear And Jesus, with a stroke … Read More Letters to the Lord: A Sonnet for the In-Between
Letters to the Lord: The Joy of Twosday
Oh, dear Lord, thank you so much for Twosday! I’d never heard of that term until my daughter-in-love Lacy invited us to Lena’s birthday party. I misunderstood at first, thinking that since it was called a Twosday party it would be on a Tuesday. But of course, the pun was only because Lena was turning … Read More Letters to the Lord: The Joy of Twosday
Letters to the Lord: Appraising My Life
Mr. Cardinal is still here, pecking at the window in Daddy’s den, reminding me of Your presence, Lord, in such a tangible way. Sometimes he even comes and sits on the outside windowsill and stares at me. And I speak to him in that voice I use for small children and animals. And I think … Read More Letters to the Lord: Appraising My Life
