GODSTUFF: Forty on 40 ~ Spiritual Lessons at Midlife…

Last updated on: October 13, 2010 at 2:27 pm By Cathleen Falsani

40. There is nothing you can do that would make God throw up God’s hands, stomp out of the room and slam the door. God loves you. You can’t do anything to make God love you less. And you can’t do anything to make God love you more. Read more

I’ll even up the ante: Grand Prize is a copy... Read more

GODSTUFF: Thrift Store Saints

Last updated on: October 7, 2010 at 3:57 am By Cathleen Falsani

What I actually know about God might, on a good day, fit on a quarter of the head of a pin compared to the fullness of God’s true hugeness. That said, there are a couple of things about the Almighty that I’m pretty certain are true. God’s grace is always staggering and often surprising. And God has a tremendous sense of humor. Case in point: Second-hand socks. I happened upon this odd epiphany while reading — inhaling, more accurately —... Read more

[wpvideo C3F1Gmdi] So, President Obama was mid-way through a speech at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women event when his presidential seal fell off the podium. Yeah, so? It happens, right?

The LOST Sin Boldly Interview (w/ thanks to DJ Jeff)

Last updated on: October 5, 2010 at 9:13 pm By Cathleen Falsani

Tonight DJ Jeff really had a surprise for me. It was…well…me. In between tracks from Cat Stevens and Bob Marley, Jeff picked out an obscure audio file I didn’t even realize I had: A recording of a long interview I did back in September 2008 with John St. Augustine for Oprah Radio. I don’t even know if it ever aired. In the last couple of years before I left Chicago for the Shire of Laguna Beach, I was blessed to... Read more

A Little Happy: Loving the hard part(s)

Last updated on: October 4, 2010 at 6:29 pm By Cathleen Falsani

We’re hard. We have pointy bits and rough edges and sharp scary corners. Sometimes we’re hard on each other. Even the friends who are dearest to us. Even the people we love (and who love us) the most and the best they (and we) can. We crab and fight and harbor hurt feelings and misunderstand and misconstrue and think the worst rather than the best (of each other, of ourselves.) We tally the slights and sit with our pain and...
