Had another piece of mine published over at the God’s Politics blog … it’s called “Are single moms the new widows?”  Check it out.

Garden / Life Update

It’s been a while since I’ve shown some update photos of the garden. I’ve thrown in a few photos from important events in our lives over the last month or so.  Enjoy!

Redemption Day

“Redemption Day,” by Sheryl Crow

I’m considering giving HarvestBoston a topical makeover for the spring and summer, and maybe forever. Perhaps focus on our garden (we have a garden!) and [...]

an Evangelical collapse?

Noted blogger Internet Monk generated a firestorm of response — both positive and negative — to his three-part series last week on the coming collapse of Evangelicalism. He offers a perhaps prophetic, perhaps guesswork look at the next few years in North American evangelical Christianity, predicting an imminent and precipitous decline in Evangelical clout, [...]
