Chasing Aslan in the Real World
It has been quite a while since I last posted, and my life has changed quite a bit since the last time you read any of my words on here. At its core my life is still the same (married father of two, Jesus follower, fanatical tea drinker, gentleman adventurer, storyteller) but recently things took... Continue Reading →
Today I'm reading in Deuteronomy chapter 1. The book of Deuteronomy is Moses' final address to the people of Israel that have come to the edge of the Promised Land for a second time. Moses recounts their History in this chapter and he explains that their forefathers had come to that same place,the edge of... Continue Reading →
I was irritated with my son this morning because he took down the Liturgy of the Hours book we read from morning and night and left it downstairs.

It's my first... Continue Reading →
In the depths of his suffering, guilt, and despair at being cut off from the land, his family, and the Lord, Cain grieves. He declares that he is now condemned to be a vagabond and a wander, and whomever finds him will try to kill him because of what he has done. There is... Continue Reading →
Sometimes we look at the Bible and see something that isn’t there. Our brains are information gathering and pattern recognizing machines par excellence.
