There is not a formula for the way that God heals. There's not a timetable.

Faith is salted and peppered through everything at Christmas. And I love at least one night by the Christmas tree to sing and feel the quiet holiness of that time that's set apart to celebrate love, friendship, and God's gift of the Christ child.

We don't have a timetable.

That's our timetable. We said we wanted to have someone in place by March 1.

I write about everything, but I just - how faith filters through all that and colors your opinion of other people and life and all that.

Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.
