When I first started reading the article on the Ordovician Period, I got to the mention of Gondwana, which made me stop and wonder, "Wait, haven't we been through this breakup before?" And the answer is yes, we have, in the blog I wrote about the Paleozoic Era, which the Ordovician Period is part of

The other day, I scrolled through my computer settings and came across all the coffee shop wifi networks I would write at across the city. It reminded me of my pre-COVID life. Drop kids off, sip coffee and write in between home duties or grocery errands. Made me miss the pre-pan

Beach sunset, 2021

Because mostly I am profoundly grateful to be here, to have taken a leap and come back to the place I spent some of my twenties, and now, entering my sixties. To sit and watch the green things pop out of the ground, to learn that snowdrops are equipped with their own anti-freeze, t

Better Days by drumcorps

To say this isn’t ambient would be an understatement, and it’s noted here simply because I veer less and less in my writing about music from the quiet zone, whether unnatural or natural or hybrid environments. So, yeah, don’t sit too close to your speakers, and attenuate

I was talking to a fellow old-timer the other day and I asked him what he was doing.  His answer: “I’m watching the snow melt.” I had to fess up that I’d been doing that as well.

As a kid, I always looked forward to the first snow in fall, and I was just as excited to see the snowmelt, even

Successful stories are driven by authentic and interesting characters, so it’s important to craft them carefully. But characters don’t usually exist in a vacuum; throughout the course of your story, they’ll live, work, play, and fight with other cast members. Some of those relationships are positive

This early Seventies British comedy takes us through seven short stories based on the Seven Deadly Sins. This film is a montage of different styles, from Spike Milligan‘s mainly silent “Sloth”, to the leering Harry H Corbett in “Lust”.

It’s fascinating and saddening to realize that the people who are outside the faith have a better understanding of Jesus and Christianity and the Gospel than many Evangelicals have.
