The Trinity – A Poem for My Tuesday Three

For My Tuesday Three today I decided I wanted to write a poem about, as Don McLean calls them in American Pie, “the three men I admire most: the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.” I think of the Trinity whenever I write a Tuesday...

More Hope for the Hopeless

Last week I devoted my Music Monday post to a playlist of “music that is particularly helpful to people who are in less than hopeful situations.” I ran out of time to create a complete list of my favorite encouraging songs, so today I’m posting...
