Keeping my own promises

It’s been a month since I said I was back. That is amazing reliable blogging, no?
There’s a long list of serious reasons. I won’t go into most of them. I wasn’t sure I’d come back to blogging at all; I won’t bore you with  all my reasoning for attempting to start again.
But [...]

He’s baaackk

Well, it’s nearly Tuesday…weeks after I expected to be back. But things should finally be in place to pick it all up again. If anybody is still out there….thanks for your patience, and we’ll resume regularly scheduled programming shortly.

Stammering the promises

This blog started as “Stammered Life”, taken from a Buechner phrase that “His holy story is stammering itself out in our lives”.  It seemed to fit, given all the fits of weakness in my life, and my interest in weakness itself as a “God-attractor” in the gospel story.  But I wasn’t easy with the emphasis [...]
