A Christmas Reflection on an Extraordinary Life & Murree's First Christmas

My most recent article in Catapult is an important one to me as it is about my mother.

If you have read my blog or other essays, you may recognize bits and pieces of this article from those sources in this synthesis and retelling of a story that is central to me. This piece may not be my final work on this subject, but it is a significant one nonetheless.

Also in this issue is a picture of my brother and sister-in-law's new puppy, who is named after the town where I went to boarding school:

And, though I have not gotten a chance to read it, I commend the rest of the issue to you as well.

A Sad Day for Pakistan

Please pray for the family of Benazir Bhutto, for the families of the others who died, for the peace of the country of Pakistan, for more people to come to know Jesus.

From the poetic heart of Mark Heard, covered by Bruce Cockburn. I never get tired of this song.

Not sure I'm exactly liking the look of things. Still, will have to wait and see.

Kim Son Captive

That is Kim Son as in the Kim Son Vietnamese Bistro on Olive. As far as Vietnamese restaurants go, I would still give the edge to Mai Lee, but this was still pretty good. And they said "Yes" when I asked them if I could photograph their lobsters. How nice was that? I was a bit worried they might think I was from the health department. It was really the blue background of the tanks here that was the irresistable part of the desire to fetch the camera from the car.
