A quiet little phenomenon pervades our culture and my home. While relatively mild on the spectrum of Faux Pas foibles, it is one that continually infiltrates my life. It is the issue of book borrowing. My husband and I lead small groups for our church and have come to acquire a large li...
Frozen in time, everything was set up and ready to go for teaching on Monday, March 23, post-spring-break… that day had LOOOONG come and gone, though my classroom was ready to propel to the “normal” routine. I couldn’t wrap my heart around why I was packing everything up, even...

This is in spite of the fact that four people over the course of the film take a plunge into the icy waters of a frozen lake… three of them at night. All of them bob right back up again, through the tiny hole in the ice down which they fell. None of them die instantly of ...
