Chasing Aslan in the Real World
A little light housekeeping before we begin: After speaking to my Beloved and a few people whose opinion and wisdom I thoroughly trust, I’ll be focusing fairly exclusively on the Genesis Diaries for an unknown chunk of time. It has become clear that one of the most important things I can do with my time... Continue Reading →
It has taken me well over a month to get through six verses. Today I get through seventeen? Whoo-wee, that's some fast reading. As we go through the following days there is a bit of a pattern that if we are not careful can lead us into a bit of a sing-song mentality and our... Continue Reading →
It would be far too easy to skip over the domestic scene with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and pretend that it doesn’t matter. Deep down inside every lover of this book is a quiet desire to actually visit Mr. and Mrs. Beaver an enjoy the hospitality of their lodge. It’s a similar feeling most readers... Continue Reading →

I love experiencing the rush of emotions and memories from hearing Bing Crosby sing out “Silver Bells”, or watching Kermit scatting... Continue Reading →
From Genesis 1:3 onward we are clearly now in the territory of God’s active creation of the physical world that we can see, hear, taste, touch, and smell all around us. One of the fascinating claims the Bible makes about all of creation is that it stands as a witness to certain things about the God... Continue Reading →
Today I was confronted with a comment on social media that reminded me just how much mystics are in the minority. The individual said, "Modern worship music is garbage. I miss the old hymns and stuff that made Christianity great." Now, I know what they probably meant. I get it. I am not immune to... Continue Reading →
