What is your comfort food after a rough day? 

What is a tiny everyday moment that never fails to make you smile? 

If you could relive one childhood memory, what would it be? 

What instantly lifts your mood no matter what? 

What is the kindest act somebody's ever done for you? 

What is a dream you've tucked away but still think about? 

What is the one thing you're grateful for right now?

What is the one hobby you've always wanted to try but haven't yet? 

If you could teleport anywhere tonight, where would you go? 

What quality in others makes you instantly admire them? 

What's the most meaningful compliment you've ever received?

In the midst of trauma, how do we match loss, worry, and anxiety with a sense of hope, optimism, and love? 

How do we redefine our understanding of “home” in order to strengthen our families and our neighborhoods? 

We are inspired by Maria Shriver’s essay “What Angels Do,” published in her weekly newsletter, https://www.mariashriversundaypaper.com/what-angels-do/, as well as the essay by Buddhist teacher Thich That Hanh, https://plumvillage.org/articles/our-true-home.

From Elizabeth Gilbert:

“The actual facts are that women who do not have children and are not married, live longer than women who are married with children. They earn more money. They are healthier. They are less likely to die of suicide, less likely to report themselves depressed and anxious, and more sexually satisfied than women who are married with children. So the opposite is true of men, that married men do not outperform single men. And the reason for that is that women pour their lives into their partners, and so they literally exchange literal years of their life by pouring into their partner, uplifting their partner who will then thrive and succeed and prosper and the women will wilt in the giving – which is what we are taught.” 

Your thoughts. Please tell us.

Ian Case Punnett died on December 22, 2023.  

Ian hosted weekends on the nationally syndicated show Coast to Coast with Ian Punnett, as well as local shows in the Twin Cities, Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, and the Quad-Cities over his lengthy radio career.  

 He received his Master of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary and went on to receive his Doctor of Philosophy in Journalism and Mass Communication from Arizona State University. He was ordained as a deacon in the Episcopal Church and served in that role for many years, though to his friends and family (and frankly anyone with his phone number), his ministry was always available.  

 Ian was inducted into the Kansas Association of Broadcasting Hall of Fame in October 2023. For the last five years, Ian taught journalism at Kansas State University and ran the college radio station there. He took great pride in his student-staff and in Wildcat 91.9. In 2023, Wildcat 91.9 was named one of best college radio stations in the country by The Intercollegiate Broadcasting System. 

 He was a writer and authored several books including How to Pray When You Are Pissed at God, How Millennials Can Lead Us Out of the Mess We’re In: A Jew, a Muslim, and a Christian Share Leadership Lessons from the Life of Moses, and A Black Night for the Bluegrass Belle. In addition, Routledge Press published his dissertation, Toward a Theory of True Crime Narratives. Children know him as the author of Dizzy the Mutt with the Propeller Butt and Jackula the Vampire Dog. 

 Ian was a caring, intelligent, and generous man. He never hesitated to extend a hand to those in need or give his time to those in suffering. His deep Christian piety was matched by genuine curiosity and enthusiasm for all forms of faith. He always stood up for a just cause and was fearless in facing all obstacles. He was endlessly creative and never missed an opportunity for a funny bit. He was a loyal friend, a loving husband and excellent father.
