Same-Sex Marriage: Some Thoughts
In light of the recent decision by the Supreme Court that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to have their marriages licensed and recognized by all fifty States, I’ve decided to pen some reflections on the topic that I hope will offer folks something interesting to read and think about. While there are layers upon layers of Continue reading

My Doctor Told Me that I am Obese
Welcome to Thankful Tuesday! I haven’t consistently seen a doctor since I stopped seeing my pediatrician six years ago, but I figured that, since I guess I am a grownup now, I should make it a habit. I mean, I might as well make sure I don’t have some terrible disease that is slowly devouring Continue reading

Happy Independence Day!
Happy Independence Day! My good friend Eric is in town, so that means we are going to watch The Patriot and (probably) Saving Private Ryan today. Also, fireworks! As I wrote at the end of this last election cycle, I am truly thankful to live in the oldest democracy in the world. The United States of America, Continue reading

Blogging Reset (4)
Greetings all! As you know, Amanda and I moved to Dallas a couple of weeks ago. Amanda just finished up orientation for her new job as a progressive care nurse at THR. So far, this summer, I am free to read, write, and do research, though I am trying to find some part time work Continue reading

Goodbye for Now
I haven’t been writing much. Not this summer. And it’s not for lack of trying. It’s just that my mind has been otherwise occupied, I guess. I’ve been reading. A lot. I’m currently reading, concurrently, a systematic theology, a book on composition pedagogy, and a cheap fantasy novel. I’m also reading The New York Times Continue reading

Happy Independence Day
Happy Independence Day! To celebrate, Abilene had fireworks LAST night (go figure, it’s Abilene . . .) Anyway, it was a lot of fun at the park with our new dogs and our good friends. As I wrote at the end of this last election cycle, I am truly thankful to live in the oldest Continue reading

Blogging Reset (3)
Readers, After Lent ended, I stopped blogging for a while. Up until then, I had managed to keep my new year’s resolution to blog every day of the year. That was when I got busy with my seminar papers and with getting married. I said on April 10th that I would blog sporadically for a Continue reading

Blogging Reset (2)
I said on Monday that the words were back. And they are. Just not the words for regular, consistent blogging. I am having significant trouble convincing myself to care about the arbitrary categories I have set for myself on the blog. I really just want to concentrate on my academic work and on poetry. All Continue reading

Blogging Reset
Readers, Ever since Holy Saturday, I’ve been quiet on the blog (I did post last Friday). My life got really busy all of a sudden and I ran out of words. I am still busy, but the words are back. I had set a posting schedule for the year that got revised as Lent started. Continue reading

Slowing Down and Creating: an announcement of sorts
I’ve been praying the Liturgy of the Hours on a daily basis for about two years now. Well, I’ve been praying Lauds (morning prayers) daily for about two years. During Advent, I prayed both Lauds and Vespers (evening prayers) so that I could pray with Amanda each evening as we lit the Advent candle. During Continue reading

The Christian and the State: a response to Seth Bouchelle
Ordinarily, I write a piece on Tuesdays about being thankful. Today, however, I am adding a new category called “special feature” in which I write a one-time blog post interrupting the normal rhythm of the blog. I expect we will be back to the normal blogging schedule tomorrow. * * * There is a common line in Continue reading
