The Systematic Practice of Dialectic
Hello on a September evening, Yesterday was Mexican Independence Day, and it was also my birthday. It was a very nice day, first because the weather was fabulous; and second, because of the incredible number of people who took time out of their busy lives to wish me a special day. Across the various platformsContinue reading “The Systematic Practice of Dialectic”
The Ultimate University
Hello on the final holiday weekend of the summer, As I attended worship this morning, I was blessed to sit with two people who’ve become dear friends to me.

Hello on a beautiful August Sunday afternoon, While we had a somewhat significant rainstorm last night, today is beautiful: partly cloudy with a nice breeze, moderate temperatures and low humidity.

Is it Choice or Something Other?
Hello from the Eastern Shore, The next month or two seems likely to be a bit hectic, but I am working diligently to get the ducks-in-a-row.
