Yesterday was a typical Saturday. After breakfast, Whitley and I got in the car with a list of chores to do, but our final destination was a nearby theater, because we love the movies. We were headed for a Hollywood tearjerker that opened this weekend, an uplifting fable in which blacks and whites were all good buddies and those in power...

I was cleaning out a cedar chest today, when I found a photo of him. I hadn't thought about him in a long time; he was my first. I could feel my heart beating faster as I gazed at the photograph. He's the reason why I've been so hesitant to commit myself again, despite the fact that my friends tell me I've got to put the past behind me and...

Last week I had the kind of experience I've had many times in the years since Whitley wrote Communion. I talked to some people I've gotten to know recently and heard some extraordinary stories.

The little beasts started out friendly enough, just sitting on her porch staring a wreath she had on her front door. After being convinced that she wasn't just going to...

Whitley and I recently flew up to our old home town of New York City to attend our son's college graduation ceremonies. Wherever we travel, we can usually find someone in the UFO community to hook up with. In New York, a friend of ours who runs one of the original Communion groups has a friend who's the manager at a nice midtown hotel, so we...
