  • Movie Memory Magic: A Christmas Story Sequel0

    Ever notice how nostalgia seems to play a vital role in the holiday season? You carefully resurrect old family traditions, dig out grandma’s grease-spattered recipes, bedeck your tree with 50-year-old ornaments, and your teenage kids — normally devoted to trendy new music — happily subject themselves to Sinatra, Burl Ives, Andy Williams and Vince Guaraldi;

  • Cowboy Boots for Winter0

    Boots are ubiquitous for winter, and while quality snow boots are worth the investment for the harshest weather, a person can’t live on snow boots alone during these colder months. And why should one deprive oneself of a robust boot season when there are so many types of boots out there? You got your rain

  • You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch0

    It was the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I wanted to spend the day in the kitchen to help my week along after I got home from church. So much to do and so little time, and I knew it would benefit me to just get a jump start on things. I started by cutting up the

    The Bookworm Sez: “The Book of Phobias & Manias: A History of Obsession” by Kate Summerscale0

    You don’t know whether to run or scream in fear. Or maybe both. When you see whatever it is that scares you to the point that you’re a babbling puddle of mess, well, it’s no longer a fight-or-flight thing – it’s just plain flight. Funny, you’re normally big and brave, fearless to the end, so

    The Bookworm Sez: “The Year of the Puppy: How Dogs Become Themselves” by Alexandra Horowitz0

    You do not need a dog. You can tick off the reasons: you don’t have time or money for a dog. There is no room in your house. You don’t have a yard. You already have a dog (or two). You do not need another but — once you’ve read “The Year of the Puppy”

  • A Few Defiant Ones: With and Without a “White Savior”0

    “Till” is the best new movie I’ve seen this year — and unlike many films about race, it does not contain a “white savior.” Focused on the 1955 lynching of a 14-year-old black boy in Mississippi, the galvanizing “Till” scarcely has a single white character — with the notable exception of completely worthless jurors and

  • Thanksgiving Packing0

    No sooner has the hubbub of Halloween settled down then Thanksgiving comes along, and it’s non-stop until New Year’s Day. At least, it feels that way, with it seeming to speed up each year. As we prepare for another Thanksgiving, I, of course, am thinking about what to wear for my family and me. Like

  • Cold Tempering for Health0

    I’ll be honest; I do not love winter. I’m not into skiing or snowboarding, and while I do think snow is pretty, I do not love the cold temperatures that come with it. That being said, I grew up in the snow belt of Upstate New York and can handle the cold if I need

  • Missional Strategy – Transformation0

    Note: This article is the fifth installment in a series called “Missional Strategy: Why we do what we do the way we do it.” Previous articles are always available at http://www.webbweekly.com. As I suggested in last week’s article, the lack of Christian unity is a big obstacle the church encounters as it seeks to accomplish

  • Self-Care Schedule0

    Self-care is a term that’s been bantered about for quite some time. It has different meanings for different people. It can and does include mental health, physical well-being, spiritual fortitude, and a sense of safety and security. As we begin to prepare for the rollercoaster of the holiday season, now might be the time to
