    Joseph W. Smith III

    In his dandy 2023 book on the making of A Charlie Brown Christmas, Michael Keane puts the stress on serendipity.

  • It’s a Wonderful Film: Commending Capra’s Christmas Classic0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    There are many ways to gauge a film’s legacy: critical tributes, best-of lists, online ratings — not to mention Oscars and a host of other honors. As a lifelong reader, I like to ask how many books have been written about (or inspired by) the movie. Until this year, I thought the record-holder was Psycho

  • Happy Thanksgiving0

    Scott Lowery

    Although I do not recall when I first heard the rationale, but it has stuck in my head each year when Thanksgiving rolls around. It references Thanksgiving being the best holiday of the year because ‘you don’t have to buy gifts, just eat and sit around and watch football all day.’ While that was never

  • How to Wear Western Boots0

    Bernadette Ulsamer

    With the current rise in popularity of cowboy boots, the question has arisen: how do you wear a western-style boot without going full cowgirl? Or at least that’s the question that comes to my mind. Full disclosure, I’m a city slicker, so there’s not really an authentic reason for me to wear cowboy boots. And

    Steph Noviello

    I’m becoming a whole new person in my golden years. Truly. I used to be that person — the one who huffed, sighed dramatically, and rolled their eyes so hard they practically did a full rotation whenever someone put up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. And honestly? I’m sorry for being that Grinchy. I retired that

  • Much More Than a Game0

    Scott Lowery

    The initial awareness of the news seemingly went in one ear and out the other.

    Joseph W. Smith III

    Saturday, November 8, was a gorgeous day of sun, warmth and fiery foliage; but I spent most that time inside my church — attending a conference on domestic abuse.

    It makes sense that our spiritual and invisible Creator would endow us, who live in the physical and visible world, with the ability to believe in what cannot be seen, proven, or does not yet exist.

Our circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep and wake cycles, is influenced by
