Ten Things I Miss About Childhood Summers
I am not a fan of summer. Not at all. I don’t like hot. I don’t like bugs. I don’t like night being overrun by daylight. Every year I count down the days until summer ends. The best thing I … Continue reading

My father and I, as far back as I can remember, loved to talk sports, especially the Pittsburgh Steelers. It is true enough that we had plenty of valuable and enjoyable conversations on knotty theological issues and subtle biblical texts. … Continue reading
