Thoughts on the Seasons and Other Regular Change Rhythms are a mercy from God. They ground us as embodied creatures living in God's world. The fact is we are limited. We must come to God for our daily bread every day (hence the word daily). We are entirely dependent on Him to keep the universe going. We are trying to spread the word about The Crispy Marshwiggle!

Reflections of An Eater Who Is Ready to Move On The Carrot There once was a food called the carrot  It was bland and we’ve all had to bear it It’s texture is edgy, it’s the least of the veggies  I’d advise you to flee from the carrot We are trying to spread the word about The Crispy Marshwiggle!

On Bad Mottos and Hopeless Remedies for Humans The cry goes round the town, "Let them only be educated and such horrors will cease." The faith in this vague idea of education is inspiring.

Don't Lie to People and Don't Give Up on Them "Civil debate is extremely rare in our country at the moment. Discussions are bitter, tempers run hot, and friendships across the aisle seem increasingly uncommon. In the midst of this atmosphere, there was a man I deeply admired for his willingness and ability to just talk it out. YouTube can be an absolute cesspool. X can be a maelstrom...

The adage "they just don't make them like they used to" is one you would expect from a grouch who just had to get a new fridge or a new toaster or pretty much anything else that requires replacing every few years. One could hardly see it coming from a gent in his late twenties, practically in the prime of life. But here it comes: they just do not make doors like they used to. There....

On the World's Biggest Organization and Why You Don't Need to Worry About Renewing Your Membership "As humans, we have a fondness for anything with the word self in front of it, unless it's self-control. Self-care, self-love, self-rule: anything that helps us look out for numero uno. This is the human condition. There is none who seeks after God (Romans 3:10), and nobody pops out...

And Rod Dreher. Live Not By Lies. "Totalitarianism is a big word and a big topic these days. Invasive governments crushing their citizens were on display all throughout the twentieth century and continue on today. One need only consider North Korea to realize that full-blown totalitarianism is alive and well. But not all pressure comes with an iron fist and a secret police force. " We ar...

Thoughts on Deets, Merch, and Other Atrocities "Our language is a delightful mishmash of foreign words, Anglo-Saxon words, and made-up words. Rather than expanding on this heritage and carrying on the legacy, we have trodden on their graves and dishonored their memory by polluting the English language with foul abbreviations."

Belated Gratitude for a 249 Year-Old Nation "We have been given so much and thank God so little as a nation. Ingratitude is one of our besetting sins. We take and take and take but do not honor God as God or give thanks to Him. So let us give thanks to Him. Let us honor Him for placing us in this country at this moment.

On Building and Fighting in the Home "His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all.

Sober Ruminations on Food Heresies "I want to be clear from the outset that all food is created by God and given for our enjoyment. He has not erred and cannot err in His work. Any issues discussed in this essay are the result of finite man's tinkering with food combinations. Tomatoes, cheese, pineapple, and cow meat are all wonderful. They are not the problem. People and their various am...

Lessons on Responsibility from Reepicheep Caspian comes within an ace of abandoning his post. His desire is to travel in Aslan's Country, but it was Aslan himself under whose authority he serves as king. Adventures are grand, but can never come at the cost of duty. Caspian is no free man to amuse himself with traveling hither and thither. He is in authority and under authority. Even a king has...

Some People are Just Gifted "Leveling the playing field is one of the sacred goals of our egalitarian age (all those soccer puns were intended). People are encouraged to worship at the altar of being whatever they want to be. In more sane times, this meant that any little girl or boy could be an astronaut, an athlete, or an aardvark researcher." We are trying to spread the word about The Crispy Ma...

Leaving A Paper Trail of Caring from the Flock "Working with people is the joy and difficulty of pastoral work. I have witnessed our pastors crying over people and rejoicing over people.

Meditations on God's Gift of Rest Days "Pancakes. Morning snuggles with bed-headed children. A bit of extra reading time. Waking up to the sound of little feet approaching the bedroom. What have we done to deserve these gifts? We could never rack up enough points to earn them. We dare not demand them as our just reward for our labors. They are simply good gifts that come down from the Fat...
