Happy Birthday, sweet Henri!
Sometimes God sends us gifts disguised as problems. A few months after living in our car and finally getting a roof back over our head, I gave in to my son’s cry for a dog. Not just any dog, a border collie. For those of you who aren’t familiar with…

Wagner: Ladies, how will you use that power?
The Belle and Beast costumes are hanging up six feet away from me in my office at the church. Staring at that bright yellow dress and blue man’s “whatever you call it” with gold trim and white ruffles makes me shake my head in wonder yet again at all of…

Wagner: Unruly and recalcitrant brain takes a detour
As I considered the horrific late-term abortion laws being promulgated in New York and Virginia of late, my brain, always a bit unruly and recalcitrant, took a detour. It had been my desire to write a column on those laws and why they are so very wrong, but my thoughts…

For example, Dr. Shirley Jackson, a theoretical physicist, developed the touch-tone telephone, caller ID and the fiber-optic cable.
