Cook County Morgue: Now I understand policeman's kindness so long ago
2012-01-28 17:49:00 It will be 29 years in April, but I still vividly remember the day my mother died.

Crisis and Kindness
2011-05-23 19:49:00 So when Janeen jumped out of her ninth story window and killed herself yesterday, even those who nodded to her and mostly looked at their shoes were shocked. Who knew that extending kindness to others could itself be a call for kindness?"
Rock 'N' Roll and Kindness: Interview with Kev Wright from The Ri
2010-12-03 19:18:00 When I sat down in my friend Kevin Wright's music room, surrounded by amps, guitars, posters advertising concerts he performed, and paintings of old bluesmen from the 1920s, I realized I was in trouble because I didn't prepare any questions. Kev, towering over me and looking like a character from Sons of Anarchy, offered the perfect antidote for anxiety: homemade apple pie flavored liquor. After a glass of Kev's homebrewed tonic, the conversation started rolling--much of it is reprinted here. Kevin Wright is currently the lead guitarist, backup vocalist, and co-songwriter for The Righteous Hillbillies--a blues boiled, twangified Southern Rock band he calls "the best band I've been in. He shares songwriting credits with lead singer Brent James (who will be...

Chicago Sports Agent Starts A Kindness Revolution
2010-09-23 15:59:00 The sports world can be just as depressing as it is exhilarating. The last few days for the New York Jets has become too familiar for every sports fan: huge win on Sunday, followed by a DWI arrest of one of their highest-paid players, Braylon Edwards. It's easy as a fan to lose sight of the walk-off home runs or three-pointers at the buzzer when the headlines are about indiscretions off the field/court/ice of play. But right here in Chicago, a major sports agent is doing his part to make the world a better place....
Kindness in bleak times...
2010-06-16 04:37:00 I understand that it's a usual practice to have the first post be a fun, upbeat, smartie pants, pilthy type thing... and trust me... I'm more than capable of writing in such a fashion.But today, I came across something that moved me and I wanted to share.For me at least recently, this might be one of the most powerful images I've taken.I was driving back from having a beer with a friend, it's warm out, but raining. I see a guy flagging.... carrying a cardboard sign asking for money at the busy intersection of Armitage and Ashland. The light turns red and I stop. I see this.

Random Acts of Kindness
2010-05-10 14:30:00 I don't know about you, but it is always hard for me to get going on Mondays. Most weeks, as much as I love school, I'd also really love just one more day to sleep in, run around outside, soak up the sunshine, go shopping... or pretty much anything that sounds relaxing. I hit the snooze button on my alarm clock about ten times before I can finally drag myself out of bed on a typical Monday morning. After 25 years on this planet, I've found a few things that work to get me going on a Monday. While I'll admit some of them are not the best choices for me (large amounts of Diet Coke, anyone?) there is...

The Lord's Kindness in Spite of My Foolishness
2008-07-14 03:08:00 I've been on the job hunt for awhile now and last week, I came upon the perfect job. It was great pay, great opportunity, and if that wasn't enough it seemed fun and exciting. I wanted it badly. I aggressively pursued this job meaning I called several times, emailed my resume and called again until I got an interview, and prayed diligently.The first interview went great. They said they would call me that evening IF I was chosen for the 2nd interview. I spent much of the rest of the day praying, no, pleading that the Lord would put it into their hearts to call me. I thought of all the things I could get with my huge paycheck, the bills I'd pay down, and a bunch of extras. So.....They called and I was ecstatic! I thanked the Lord for His generosity. So I went on the 'interview' which was really working 'in the field' for a day and it was just awful! Without getting into details, the job was short of slave labor for very little pay and no benefits. They grossly misrepresented t...

"Things I Love" Thursdays - Random Acts of New Yorker Kindness
2008-04-17 21:47:00 My best friend sent me a text message today from 42nd and Eighth:"Just witnessed a heart warming NY moment-this high society looking old white lady just tripped over the curb and this gritty, obviously manual labor type young black dude was the first to rush to her rescue. Looked like he was making sure she was ok for a while too. Good stuff."It reminded me of this and made me proud to be living among the best people in the world."Things I Love" Thursdays are inspired by "I Love New York" (BNY, February 14, 2007).

Fruit of Spirit Kindness
2008-04-04 14:42:00 The Lord has been dealing with me a lot lately concerning my dependence upon Him. This dependence must be in every area of my life.When I started blogging a year ago I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I have been hurt, discouraged and forced to look more deeply at who I am. Though most painful, this has stretched me and caused me to grow. But I have also made many friends along the way. They have encouraged me, spurred me on and challenged me which has also caused me to grow.The Lord is actively at work in my life and I have a peace that passes all understanding. I have been allowed to be a blessing to others and the Lord continues to open new doors of ministry for me in the blogging world. This adds a great responsibility I did not anticipate and is one I constantly feel ill-equipped to fulfill. I am humbled each time I am praised because I know that it is only by the power of the Spirit that anyone is touched.Humility is what we are called to and we are told in scriptu...

Can we show kindness to others more than we are showing it now?
2008-02-21 18:54:00 This month in my children’s ministry we have been talking about a subject that probably will be my favorite of the year and that subject is Kindness. I have lived a lot of places in my life and have determined that their is kindness everywhere if we are willing to look for it. By the way let me give you the definition of kindness it is showing others they are valuable by how you treat them. For the most part, most people are pretty kind. The question I have been asking of myself and the kids and families in my ministry is this. Can we show kindness to others more than we are showing it now? The general answer I have been getting is yes. So why is it so hard for us to show kindness over the long term, I believe it is pretty simple. We are afraid of two simple words that have to follow kindness for it to have a lasting long term effect on others, it is “follow up.” Check out this short story below that was written by Kelly McFadden that really spoke to me about t...

2008-01-21 01:28:00 Five times a year I do a good deed. I decided to give away my two-playoff tickets to the Patriots game. Since I wasn?t going to be in a suite and it is freaking outside there was no way in hell I was going. So, a random act of kindness was in order. I drove to the worst part of the city yesterday afternoon and sat outside of a Dunkin Donuts in my car and came up with a plan to give the first father and son (adult and teenager or child) duo I saw my tickets. After over two freaking hours I was almost ready to leave and stake out another location it was then when I saw my pair. They pulled up in a Nissan Maxima and as they were heading in to the shop I approached them. I asked, ?Is this your son?? He replied, ?Yes why?? I then said to the boy ?how old are you?? he said ?I?m 14 why?? I said ?Do you like the Patriots? They both said ?Yeah? I said ?Are you going to the game?? They said ?No? I said, ?Would you like to go?? They said, ?Yes? and I said ?Good because I've been waiting in m...

Terminators and Gladiators Kill - One with Bullets, the Other with Kindness
2008-01-16 00:29:00 Do you know what I like? I like good television. It's just who I am. I think that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles represents good television. I'm not convinced of it, I may yet be proven wrong, but after two episodes it seems like a pretty solid show to me. Frankly, the main quibbles I have with the series are all continuity ones that go back to the films on which the show is based. Once one accepts, if one can, that the producers of the show are making the myth their own rather than simply building on what came before, most of those worries go away. Look at the good in last night's episode. There were some decent action sequences including one featuring Summer Glau as Cameron, our good guy Terminator, attacking some random new bad guy Terminator. Cameron also shot a man on the presumption that he may have been lying and she was also a hair's breadth away from taking out a cop. Sure, she'...

We were victims of a random act of kindness
2008-01-14 15:44:00 Actually three-fourths of my family were victimized while I was attending Wicked with my oldest daughter. My hubby took our other three children out to dinner at a local pub and grill. It was mostly an uneventful meal for them considering we have a a feisty red headed two year old. At the end of their meal the server informed my hubby that their meal was paid for by another table and he pointed out an elderly woman. Hubby thanked the woman but she denied having paid their bill as her companion giggled. He got the kids bundled up in their coats and then approached the woman again. “If you did buy our dinner I want to say thank you again.” They chatted for a few minutes and the first question she asked was where was his wife. She must of thought he was either divorced or a widower because of our kids mismatched clothes and unbrushed hair. My hubby doesn’t give those things attention when he’s in charge. He called me to tell me about this woman’s random ac...
