My friend the school secretary related a cute story. One of the staff is retiring. The office personnel were congratulating him. A little student was nearby, and she was asked, 'He is retiring, do you know what retiring means?'
She piped up, "Yes. It’s when you don’t actually quit your job, you just get old and go home".
Well then! Out of the mouths of babes...

Yes, There are ‘Thorns’ in Vocational Ministry Too
Girl, you got problems... Rachel Hollis's book(s) Girl, Wash Your Face and Girl, Stop Apologizing lack a proper theological framework, thereby being unsuitable for Cristian consumption.

Table Talk Magazine examines individual and societal loneliness. I've been interested in this topic ever since I was a journalist in the early 2000's, observing and reporting on society via sports events, civic meetings, clubs, and organizations. How do people interact these days? In 2001 Robert Putnam published his groundbreaking book Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Society. I recommend it.
