4th Annual Oompa Loompa Love Songs Playlist :: The...
Okay, sorry this is getting out late. Last fall I wasn’t sure there were 40 songs that were worthy of the 2011 Oompa Loompa Love Song Playlist. But as the year came to a close I had a shortlist of 60+ songs. And I’ve been picking at the shortlist for a few weeks trying to widdle it down to 40.
If you’ve followed previous OLLSP then you’ll notice that Kanye and Rihanna (I hope she stays classy...

About 8-10 times a year I get random calls from sincere 20-somethings asking me for advice about the non-profit organization they want to start. Usually these new, innovative ideas are cause-driven organizations that aim to help victims of human trafficking or women and children caught up in the commercial sex industry. I don’t want to be a dream-killer, but in nearly every one of these...

11 From 11 Best Reads :: The Dusting Off The...
Over the years I’ve attempted to put together little “best of” reading lists. Last year it was “10 From 10: The Dusting Off the Shelves Best Reads from 2010,” and the year before, “09 +09 From 09: The Dusting Off the Shelves Best Reads from 2009.”

But, undeterred Dali and a friend continued to turn up for work, “For the first five months I worked without salary. The other women collected some money from their salaries and...

Contemplate: An Advent Cocoon →
phileena:
As Advent and the Christmas season approaches, I can’t help but think of Christ’s model of surrender—The Pachal Mystery—suffering, dying and being resurrected to new life. Surrender is a central theme for Christians—the turning point to transformation. It’s unfortunate that there aren’t more…
