If you have a chance to check out the Sept. 21 issue of the Christian Century, I hope you’ll have a look at my “Living by the Word” essays. Ironically, one of them pushes the idea of “living by the Word” to include actually challenging that Word. The other concerns a particular word that I’d like to see more of these days — “enough.” I also composed more personal companion pieces for the “Century Blog.” One describes my great Aunt Esther, who definitely had enough, despite giving everything away. The other meditates on challenging authority, even when that authority is God. I hope you’ll have a look. And if you have a chance, do let me know what you think.
