Listening.

I'm Back!

Just to let everyone know, I did return back to Boston on Sunday night from my trek across Europe! Jackie and I had a wonderful time visiting with our very dear friends the Byuns and Jackie's sister Jamie. We appreciated... More...

Marinating in Germs!

The last two weeks have been filled with emails like this: "Thursday update: Keith and Kelly are out sick today" "Friday update: Paul, Kelly, Keith, Nithin and Katie are out sick today" "Monday update: etc." Yes - We at The... More...

A Franciscan Benediction

May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, superficial relationships, so that you will live deep within your heart. May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that you will work... More...

MLK day 08

Yesterday three of the kids from our neighborhood, Catrina and I joined 33 other youth and adults to watch the movie The Great Debaters. The movie is about four young African american people, their college, town, and families as they... More...

oh the snow.

In many places, when it snows it's an excuse to stay in, read a book and drink hot chocolate. Here at The Boston Project when it snows life moves into high gear. Contrary to popular belief, The Boston Project works...... More...

The KOG = the Kingdom Of God. I am in a new Bible study with 10 other 20-somethings seeking what the Kingdom of God is, where it is and what it means to be a part of it with the... More...

Psalm 103

My heart is full. God is good. "God has set up his kingdom in heaven, and he rules the whole creation. All of you mighty angels, who obey God's commands, come and praise your Lord! All of you thousands who... More...

Mouse Hunt Part II

As promised I am keeping you updated with the continuing hunt for mice. To be quite honest, I didn't care to record some of the smaller mice that were found in October and November. They just weren't monumental, I mean,... More...

no need to dream...

A white Christmas is here whether we want it or not! Jackie and I enjoyed our snowy weekend immensely. One of our highlights was shoveling on Sunday afternoon. Now we didn't shovel nearly as much as Paul did this... More...

My friend Scott posed the question the other day: "What do you love about Jesus?" "This is love, that Christ died...therefore, love one another, as Christ loved us." Jesus. How do you love the standard of love? Jesus. He is... More...

Acting my age

I always like to stay home as long as I can over a holiday break. This past Sunday was no exception. Jackie and I were supposed to leave my house at 3:30 pm to catch a train, then a bus... More...

A Prayer

Some days I hear young people I know say, "I'm not good at reading" or "I'm afraid to tell everyone what I think, why will they listen to me?" Some days I say to God, "I am too young, use... More...

Oh... the holidays

Paul asked us the other day: "What are your favorite traditions during the holidays?" That made me smile. Then it made me make a list: * We always have other people at our house for Thanksgiving (I mean other than... More...

Good Kids, Bad Kids

"What is a 'good kid' and what is a 'bad kid'?" This is a question that came up as I sat in a community meeting on Wednesday night. It has really opened my mind up to a lot of questions.... More...

Kids Say the Darndest Things...

Mouse Hunt

Paul = 3 Katie = 2 Jackie = 1 Glenna = 1 As you can see Paul Malkemes is in the lead, Katie coming in a close second and Jackie and Glenna tied in third (although her "Mouse Found" story... More...

New England Changes

Another season of Homework Center has rolled around and I find myself wading through social science projects and alphabet flash cards when water balloons and soccer balls reigned only eight weeks ago. But as I look around me, I recognize... More...

Making an Imprint

The sand stuck to my heel as I stepped out of the sand box. I was 17 years old and on a retreat in upstate NY. I sat by the sandbox. The inscription over the box asked the question: "What... More...

Blog - Shmog

Blogging is pretty much against my religion. Seriously. I don’t think that I have ever read anyone’s blog before (sorry friends). I’ve just always equated it with a great place for people to whine publicly(hopefully I will be able to... More...
