Life Without My iPhone
About two weeks ago, I sent in my iPhone for repairs; the port for power connecting had begun working only intermittently. Happily, however, I didn’t have to do without: the folks at U.S. Cellular gave me a old fashioned flip-phone replacement. Honestly, I thought it would be a good experience. Sort of a forced unplugging, you know…going back to ancient Continue reading

Pray for Me
I don’t think I usually ask the church to pray for me. And maybe that’s just…dumb. Oh, I’ll fill in the Friendship Register at church with a prayer request sometimes, though the pace of the service and my responsibilities keep me from it many weekends. But I don’t think I turn to fellow brothers and Continue reading

I’ll bet my Election Day was more interesting than yours: while you were busy going to work and voting (of course!), I was hanging out in the inner city of Milwaukee as an exit pollster. Here’s my story: Two years ago I began my second career surveying exiting voters in Madison for Edison Research. Edison is the national organization that Continue reading

The Knowltons Come Home
The Knowlton clan returned last night from a short term mission trip in Xpujil, Mexico. Well, I should say that some of us did – Annie and I had stayed in Waupun to keep the home fires burning – but Diane, Josh and Elisabeth returned with tales to tell. And though it was late, we gathered Continue reading
