January: The “Good” Church Wrestling with the difference between a church that meets my needs and one that challenges me to follow Jesus.
February: Does God Still Love Me? A child’s question leads to reflections on silence and wilderness.
March: Mars and Venus ARE just planets, aren’t they? Thoughts about gender stereotypes.
April: Birds Make it Better A few moments of enjoying backyard birds introduces some sanity in the midst of chaos.
May: It’s the Economy, Stupid Economic slowdown as an opportunity to question the central idolatry of our time: growth.
June: Decisions, Decisions Lessons learned from helping my 6-year-old organize her social calendar.
July: Small World for Not-So-Small People Reflections on the movie Wall-e as a commentary on contemporary society.
August: Summer Synchroblog: What I’ve learned from Tomatoes My journey into the issues of where our food comes from, who grows it, who profits and who loses began with planting a couple of tomato plants a few years ago.
September: Sleepless … but not in Soho yet Ah yes, the pleasures of international travel – NOT!
October: Fallow The latest excuse for why I haven’t been blogging much lately.
November: Michael Pollan Interview In which I confess to being a groupie of the noted food writer. Some good links to Pollan’s and others’ thoughts on a subject that is becoming near and dear to my heart.
December: Is it too late to change my major? Wishing I understood economics better as I’m struggling to grasp the injustices of the global food system.

Decisions, Decisions was my favorite post.

I was glad to see that the decision was based on ranking the items in terms of value versus just counting the pros and cons. Counting pros and cons is one of the worst decision making methods that people learn early on and then it sticks with them. It’s not quantity … it’s quality.
