As a priest, part of my gig is listening to people tell me their sins. Each week, for hours in the confessional, I simply sit and listen. ... And to be honest, it's boring, very boring. I've learned there's nothing so uncreative as sin, nothing so repetitive and dull.

A palette of but a few grays, at our most sinful and stupid, we rarely create anything new. Most of us look pathetic naked. It's a humiliating truth. But here's the strange thing. The overall effect of this experience for me has been to love these people, to love humanity in general, and even this bitter, ugly world. The effect has been to love them more, not less. Hearing all this sin has given me hope. [Read Whitfield’s full essay here](. Editorial: [By giving to DMN Charities, you can feed the hungry while feeding your soul](.

Meet the man who's been the voice of Dallas' Turkey Trot for 39 years On a cold and wet Thanksgiving day some 30 years ago, runners grew impatient as they waited in the rain for the Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot to start. Once the sound system crackled to life after a delay, then-mayor Annette Strauss made some introductory remarks — and was promptly booed. Then she handed the microphone to David Kelton. "I didn't say any opening remarks or anything. It was just 3-2-1," Kelton said as he sat in his kitchen table in his Far North Dallas home Tuesday, two days before the 50th edition of the Turkey Trot kicks off.
