I woke up this morning in my usual routine, hitting the snooze twice (I purposefully set my alarm to go off 20 minutes earlier than necessary each morning) then creaking out of bed. The air is a little cold--it’s just below freezing outside. My body is hurting a bit from a surgery I had, and the cold doesn’t help, but life must go on, so I am rising to head to work.

Right up front we need to admit we’re about five months late on this. Sorry about that. It wasn’t because of ace statistician Paula North, but a variety of other non-related factors.

So, Dear Gabby melted into the sunset, but we were still receiving earnest letters for advice. Since no one could possibly top the old girl at what she did, 90&9 decided to strike out in a completely different direction with another unique talent.

Consciously Sedated in a Cultural Quagmire

It doesn’t matter what political party you are for, you know that America is in a moral crisis. In fact, according to a Gallup poll, 82 percent of Republicans and 78 percent of Democrats believe that moral values in America are fair or poor. And if we were to flash back to 40 years ago, only 33 percent of Americans felt that way. Just watch practically any mainstream television show today, look at the magazine stand, or visit your local mall and I’m sure you’ll see what I mean. There is a cultural dilemma in America.

The Valentine

The doorbell rang as I watched episode 144 of The Andy Griffith Show marathon. The Bluebell dripped from my chin, and I pried myself off the couch to open the door. No one was there. Before I closed the door, a yellow spot caught my attention. Someone had left a box of Lemonheads on my doorstep. The cardboard stuck to my fingers, keeping me from opening it immediately. A red ribbon connected the box to a note that read, “Happy Valentine’s. I am yours. Take me away.” I didn’t know if that meant for me to take the box or the person who left it. I set the box on my desk and sat back down.

What the World Needs Now Is Love

Jesus Christ once said, “By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another” (John 13:35). There is quite simply no other characteristic more important for a Christian to display. In this postmodern age, hurting people are looking for someone who authentically cares, yet the Christian culture often fails them by offering a structured religious tradition rather than the genuine love of Christ. If we honestly survey the example Jesus Christ offered, it is clear that true Christianity is demonstrated when we bring the love of God to a hurting world rather than requiring a hurting world to come to God on our terms.

Christmas 2006: An Extraordinary Turn of Events

What a morning. What an incredibly frustrating morning. We started out fairly early today. Maybe that was our mistake. Rather than missing the morning rush-hour traffic, we’ve been slogging along right in the middle of it. Not a well-thought-out plan. To make matters worse, the weather is atrocious. The snow started falling around 4 a.m. and has only intensified for hours now. The road crews can’t keep up. We’ve seen five or six cars on the side of the road or in the medians, and have even driven, or should I say crawled, past a couple of accidents. Welcome to Chicago.
