“Those idiots are ruining our country!” Those idiots are to blame for the breakdown of our culture, economy, world image, education, healthcare…. I’m guessing you’ve heard it all. The fact that you’re reading this means you have access to the internet in all it’s attention-seeking, fear-mongering glory, so I should probably just say thanks for getting here. I should definitely offer you a drink. (But since I’m writing this you’re going to have to get […]
It’s easy to forget what you’ve asked for in prayer. The little things that didn’t need an answer before you could move on, the questions about life that work themselves out as you go.

I was going to write happy thoughts about what I’m learning now, at 34, not what was going on then, at around 13.

I had a dream that I was dying and it was the most alive I’ve ever felt. The basic premise was that I’d been kidnapped and had no conceivable way to get back home or even live through the next minute.
