About

If there’s an original sin, it’s probably certainty. We want to feel certain about things, or failing that, we want other people to seem certain about things, so that we know who to follow.

But there are few things about which we can ever be certain, and the more we convince ourselves that we’re right about something, the more certain we become that other people are wrong – and historically, this has just never worked out for anybody.

Anyway, this place is my own little safe space where I air my uncertainties out, muse about the teachings of the Bible as well as Kierkegaard, Ellul, and others much smarter than me.

I’m a man who shares his life with a wonderful husband and two lively, lovely dogs. I have survived a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, but the experience has had lasting implications – physical, mental, spiritual. I’m a Christian, and a sinner, and active in my local Episcopal parish.

I write when I’m able, fiction and non. And I read, though never as much as I’d like, and one day I may have to admit to myself that buying books and reading them are not necessarily related activities.
