Blogging is dead, they said. Until tweet-threads started taking over Twitter. In lieu of clogging up your timeline with thoughts that I had to cut precious words and meaning from anyway, I’ll be sharing too-long-for-a-tweet yet too-short-for-a-real-essay thoughts here. Probably a lot of links, too.

In case you’re stumbling onto this site from something else, my personal/family website (with more information about what I do and where I do it) can be found here. I have a blog there, too, which tends towards more personal thoughts on our work and worship.
