Writing behind the door

Writing on a door is graffiti. But writing behind a door -- an office door -- is gratifying.

Last Sunday, I published a story in the Chicago Tribune Magazine about ONU alumni who celebrated their "baptism" into mid-life together. You can find it at: http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/magazine/chi-mxa0928magazineguypgsep28,0,3276065.story.

I also published a book review in the Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies about Kelly Monroe's "Finding God Beyond Harvard." She catalogues how students at secular campuses from coast to coast yearn for God, and do so in a rather mindful, brain-engaged way.

Coming next month in Christianity Today magazine is an article I wrote about how our partners in Hong Kong now influence the Chinese goverment in faith-based counseling techniques, in the aftermath of the May 12 earthquake that killed 100,000 people. That proves that all earthquake after-shocks aren't so bad.

I always learn something in these projects. I want to keep learning.
