I’ve been at this blogging thing for ten years now and have been at the daily blogging thing for almost as long. This means that I’ve got an extensive backlist of articles from years gone by. I thought it might be fun to pull out some of the articles I wrote in previous months of December, stretching all the way back to 2004.

Money Matters: Do I Have to Give? and How Much Do I Give? – These were two entries in a series on money.
2010
I Looked for Love in Your Eyes – This is such a sad but powerful poem.
A Wikileaks Society – Here I reflected on what a Wikileaks culture might mean for the church.
2009
The Necessity of Long Division – Too often we try to get out of doing the hard work of the Christian life.
A Day-After Christmas Reflection – A reflection on celebrating–or not celebrating–Christmas.
