First car was a 1960 Chevy 4 door. It was yellow with one white front fender, and a green hood and other front fender. It had a hole rusted completely through the floorboard in the back seat. I NEVER drove it to town. Just to work on a hay crew. I always borrowed my mom's car or my dad's truck...

I don't know if she has the best voice, but Casandra Wilson is an incredible singer. Find her in the jazz section of music stores.

I really like Thomas Merton for spiritual reading. For lighter fare I like historical novels (Hermann Wouk, Michener, Uris).

I am feeding a bunch of my students this Friday night with a vegetarian chili-like-substance (it ain't real chili without the meat) as well as the regular and nuclear recipes. My wife will not eat red meat (health reasons) so I often cook recipes with ground turkey for her. Dietary rules are at...

As an instructor, I have to ask this question. What about taking notes? Just a thought Dan K.

My baby daughter fell asleep in my arms about 2 hours ago. Best part of any day I ever have. Dan K.

What does your heart tell you? I believe that God will guide us if we just listen and don't try to rationalize or equivocate against what we hear. My wife read me a passage this weekend written by a nun. I cannot recall her name but she relates an incident that occurred when she was a child...

27 years ago I came to the conclusion that drugs were interfering with my pursuit of happiness. I simply stopped taking them. I still had lots of friends who did. After all these years, it turns out that the real friends are still with me. Some of them still use drugs but there is no pressure...

two more then I'll quit. The look of lunch is in your eyes. Hunka, Hunka burnin' lunch Dan K.  

There is a very definite agnostic/atheistic current at most large universities. State supported universities have the added burden of the issue of separation and how it is interpreted. We have a program of religious studies here. It looks at all of the major faiths and gives a grounding in the...

I do most of the cooking and yard work and go 50-50 with the dishes. Harriette does most of the laundry. We both avoid cleaning until company comes then do it in mad bursts of semi-coordinated frenzy. Dan K.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I teach at a major university and know something of the temptations you face. The paradox is that, for some things, this is the safe place to take chances and make mistakes, for others, this is a place of great perils. Thank you again. Dan K.

OK, I am on the University Outreach commitee at my church. What suggestions would you have about how a local church could support students at the local university? Dan K.

Every Wednesday afternoon, I take some time and go to the day care and play with my daughter. There is a little boy there who is her main playmate. They were using me as a jungle gym the other day and the day care worker said "Be nice to him, he might be your son-in-law some day". Now THAT'S...

This is the question many Christians have. We are promised that ANYTHING we ask in Christ's name will be answered. But we know that not all prayers are answered the way they are asked. Even Christ in the Garden asked that the cup be passed from him. It was not within God's plan for that to ge...

We have a fellow that regularly comes to our Sunday night Bible study and challenges every basic Christian belief. We have treated him with love and kindness (we have dinner at my house each week after and he is always part of the group that comes) and we have learned that he is struggling...

No, All the Holy Spirit needs is just our surrender.

My wife is really big into decorating for Christmas and I do my duty, smile and say "yes dear" and do what she wants. Dan K.

Reann, Instead of struggling, relax, let Him lead and let the struggle become a dance. He is a patient and willing teacher. Dan K.

I teach at a large University and I love my job. While all of us can make a lasting difference in the lives of people we touch, I get roughly 100 new opportunities every 4 months or so. I could make more money in the private sector (I teach Information Systems) but I could never approach the...
