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.

Begin with One True Sentence
Hello as I wait for my seating, It’s a Monday midsummer, and it’s a warm one.

Hello from my little corner of the world. While a part of me loves the political of the world, another part is continually surprised (to some extent) and dismayed at how the human lust for power and the seemingly insatiable need for resources (e.g. greed) seems to determine what we do, be it individually orContinue reading “Teleological Transactionalism and Christian Conservatism”
