This Memorial morning started well. During breakfast, my son delivered this lego tableaux of Moses and the burning bush. He said, “I looked all morning for the right face, then I found it on the mailman!” Also, he had to use grandpa’s beard, “But I don’t really need a grandpa.”
Out of context, the words of [...]

Just got back from Jubilee in Pittsburgh. Holy cow. That was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had. I’ve been to great conferences before, but never have I been to a conference that functioned on so many levels, with such intentional theological underpinnings, executed with such excellence that you just wanted to hug [...]

I’m republishing an old poem–with a new audio reading–to inspire people during holy week.
